ShopRite Fried Chicken Review🍗

Transcript

I begin my voyage into the uncharted waters of food free agency, grocery store fried chicken is a major point of interest. First up is ShopRite where a four piece of fried chicken ran five ninety nine. I'm not sure how many grocery stores actually do fried chicken, but I'm excited to find out. ShopRite fried chicken today, four piece, four ninety nine. I'm a little fish out of water here, but I'm like a free agent right now. I'm gonna test out a bunch of new foods and see what speaks to me and my soul. And fried chicken might be the odds on better favorite. I did do a Lascaux in Chicago. tier is a nominal. Just off the eye best, it's not looking drool good. It's also raining. I'm squatting at the side of this building just for some coverage. No excuse. Just produce. I was concerned it wasn't gonna be hot enough because I can hold it in my hand. I'm so used to rotisserie, but the heat's tucked in, which makes sense. The meat's tender and juicy. A nice crunch. Yeah. Okay. Okay, ShopRite. I've been asleep. I don't know how many grocery stores even have fried chicken. I'll be bone off the bone too. I feel a hot start. See what the wings about. Gotta hit the wing now. Oh, okay. That didn't that didn't go how I intended it to go. Excellent crunch. But as you can see, some of that meat looking a little dry.
