That chicken was the same as Roy Rogers and yeah it was great. Better than KFC.
I miss McDonald’s Angus burgers. They were yummy.
Wendy’s had something called the Big Bacon Classic. That was my go to burger there until they got rid of it.
I loved Taco Bell burritos before they started using rice and beans as filler. Used to be all chicken.
Today’s fast food is usually better than in the past – fries from KFC used to be horrible, but I do miss the use of tallow when frying fries.
At Lee’s? I am not a big gravy guy, but it tastes pretty good. Friends of mine that are into gravy get it for their Thanksgiving, if that is any indication.
Lee’s chicken is the best. There is only one in the state of Virginia. We used to live about 10 blocks away, and moved. It was the hardest part of moving. (I’m a southern boy, and love my fried chicken- They catered my wedding!)
I love going to pick up the rent check now though, because I get to pick some up once per month.
Extra-tasty Crispy from KFC, and their onion nuggets, but I can’t eat KFC anymore anyway, so it would be wasted on me.
Burger King Burger Buddies, or Bundles? I can’t remember, but they were a couple of sliders. 
Arby’s triple-cheese melt subs from the mid to late 90’s. They had a Parmesan sauce that was amazing!
Or the cheddar bites from Sonic. Just little fried nuggets of cheese.
Taco Bueno also had a triple cheese burrito that was REALLY hit-or-miss. When it was bad, you couldn’t finish the thing, but when it was good, it was divine!
See a pattern here?
Me, too. Wow was that a big disappointment.
why not? For me, it makes me feel sick, it’s the grease. They have cheaped out on cooking oil.
Didn’t KFC (or was it Popeye’s or Churches?) used to have something called “sweet heat boneless chicken”?
They were like nuggets of real chicken that were breaded, fried, and then dunked while still hot into a pot of simmering sweet heat sauce. Then they were dropped into the box still dripping with sauce.
They were Addictive!
Coda Cola that has coca and cola on its list of ingredients.
A&W root beer, in mugs at the car-hop window, had amazing smooth foam on top.
I asked my wife and she said “flavor”.
Wendy’s baked potato bar.
-Those little packets of “Cajun Sparkle” that Popeye’s used to have available for their Dirty Rice and Red Beans 'n Rice. Really perked up the flavors.
-The apple-y/crumb-y/cheese-y dessert cup from Roy Rogers, quite tasty and disappeared far too soon.
-And of course, the Holy Grail of fast foods, the original Roy Rogers Double-R burger. The one available today, that is if you can even find a RR, are a pale shadow of the original’s beefy/ smokey/hammy goodness.
-Sign me up for an Arthur Treacher’s road trip anytime.
Now for the opposite of the OP’s thread:
-I can’t even remember which fast food chain it was, but one of 'em was guilty of a mortal sin against the French fry. They had an alternate “fry” that was actually extruded mashed potatoes that plopped right down into the fryer, from some rolling gantry crane-type setup. Horrible, grease-sodden, tasteless and couldn’t keep their shape in order to be picked up. Glad those things died a quick and un-lamented death.
The very first time KFC introduced roasted chicken it was actually really good. They reintroduced it again later and it wasn’t as good but that first time it was worth getting instead of fried sometimes.
Those were fantastic. Every once in a while Arby’s would bring them back as a limited time promotion and I would make myself sick eating so many of them. Haven’t seen them in years.
Some coworkers got Popeye’s last week and they left some packets of Cajun Sparkle in the breakroom. I sprinkled an avocado with some, not too shabby. Anyway, it’s still available as of a couple days ago.
That was called, unsurprisingly, the Chili Cheese Burrito, and prior to that, the Chilito. 79 cents each in my college days, it was the staple of my diet.
Hopefully, they weren’t chicken ribs.
When did they have these? I have no memory of them.
I don’t know which fast food chain had these, but when I was an undergrad the campus dining hall had such fries made from potato mush. They were called “Frispos”, and they were awful.
According to a quick internet search, Carl’s Jr. used to serve FRispos, so that;'s probably the chain you had in mind (I grew up on the East Coast. We didn’t have Carl’s Jr.s, which is why I know them from Campus Dining Service)
The Arby-Q would be the one thing that would get me to enter an Arby’s again. I loved that sandwich. I’d even force down their lousy curly fries to have a couple of Arby-Qs again.
1970’s
Not even a Jamocha shake?
I was working there when the Arby-Q was introduced. Took a lot of baby-sitting to keep it from cooling off or drying out/burning during the day.
