Find a gas station with a "Krispy Krunchy Fried Chicken" sign out front and buy your chicken there. They are all over the place in Mississippi and all are good. Try to make the purchase about 12:15 pm, so the stuff is fresh cooked.

Much-much too far away from you, and sadly from me too, since we moved after retirement, but the Pure Oil Station in Dekalb, MS, across from the county courthouse, is not a Krispy Krunchy Chicken cooking place, but it has the best lunch time fried chicken you will find in the United States.

Here is an order of livers and fries. I get all emotional every time I see this photo and remember my faded love.



Mr. Google tells me there is one in Broussard, Alexandria, and Vinton. Does not indicate the name of the gas station, but I am 99% certain they have the Krispy Krunchy sign out front.

Oh wow! I just noticed Alexandria is their Corporate Headquarters! What a great place LA is. I bet there are many more than the three indicated if the headquarters is in Alexandria.

I feel a road trip to Alexandria coming on. I might be the chain's biggest fan.

Thay even have a website! You must see it!

Their chicken is even better than the photos. The site even has a time line!

I grew up on krispy krunchy and the big issue with them is consistency because it often sits under a heatlamp for a long time. If it’s fresh, it’s pretty great, but if it’s been sitting, it’s really underwhelming. I also don’t care for their fries. I find their tenders have a lot of connective tissue in them as well. Livers and gizzards are usually made to order and are really good.

I love the KKC wings. They are great every time I get them, but other cuts are very hit/miss at my local KKC gas station. Great flavor, though.
