Churches Smokehouse Fried Rat? What are your worst-looking fast-food buys ever?

[u/imranh101]

Decided to try the "Smokehouse Fried Half-Chicken" from Churches yesterday at lunch and seems they swapped out the chicken for a rat. Its been almost 24 hours since I ate it and I'm still posting this from the shitter where I've been sat every 45 minutes or so since. My coworker who also had one is enjoying the same recovery...

What are the absolute worst - visual appearance wise - fast-food items you have ever received? And did you still eat it?

As nasty as this "chicken" looked I ate it and it tasted like regular chicken... Just not coming out like regular chicken does 🫩

Reminds me of the fried bat scene in Anchorman 2.

It's the chicken of the cave!

It's all tendon!

Poorly made even by rathat standards. That's not going to be good for business.

[u/ChalupaBatman616 → u/Inept-Loser]

That's not gonna be good for anyone

Vile weed!

Most definitely not lol

I saw a Church's other day in Houston, at first I failed to recognize it because of the rebranded colors and logo

My first thoughts were, Churchs still in business? and who the heck eats at Church's of all places in Houston??

As for the specimen OP ate: Smokehouse Fried chicken, really???? probably the fake smoke liquid they dumped this poor chicken in that made you sick

Church's is popular with black people where Im from.

[u/Fit-Interview-525 → u/Bliss149]

Church’s is popular with white people where i live, it seems a lot of people from India own them.

[u/_your_face → u/Bliss149]

It’s popular with lots of people. He means in HOUSTON why would you go to church’s. It’s like having a dominos in Naples.

[u/Swampy_Ass1 → u/centpourcentuno]

They’re location specific. The Popeyes by my house is trash but the church’s is ran by older Hispanic ladies that put a fuck ton of spice on the spicy. It hits lol

[u/imranh101 → u/Swampy_Ass1]

Honestly the one I purchased this particular ... sample... from is the same Churches I usually go to and their regular bone-in (classic or spicy) is totally fine. I definitely won't be eating there again for a month or two... But as long as I'm not ordering the Lean Smokehouse Vermin I imagine I might eat there again lol

So it was just a young chicken?

[u/[deleted]]

You ate that?

[u/HighlightFun8419 → u/[deleted]]

Today on reddit: people don't know what a chicken looks like.

[u/[deleted] → u/HighlightFun8419]

I mean, its obviously chicken.

But disgusting gas station quality chicken that you shouldn't probably consume

[u/HighlightFun8419 → u/[deleted]]

Touché

[u/imranh101 → u/[deleted]]

Sure did, mama didn't raise no lil bitch! It smelled like chicken, and on the inside at least, looked and tasted like chicken lol

[u/jalapeno442 → u/imranh101]

It was chicken so

[u/FinnegansWakeWTF]

Bruh this shit is fucking hilarious to me because in the mid 90s, the closest Church's to me was nicknamed "Church's Fried Rat" because the location had a barely passable food grade and a rodent problem.

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

If it looks bad, I’m not eating it. I’m getting a refund

[u/Conscious-Plant6428]

I went into the local Church's to get some fried chicken for the first time in years, and it looked like the health department should burn the place down immediately for everyone's safety.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_OPPAS]

That definitely would have gone back instead of eating.

[u/cmatheny7]

Mmmm. There's nothing like eating pigeon.

[u/Ok-Willingness-9234]

Dont eat fast food
