>go to raising canes because everyone hypes it up in my area
>most bland chicken i have ever eaten

this place is fucking awful they dont even season their chicken its so fucking bland. How this restaurant managed to become successful and stay in business is impressive with how awful their chicken is when its the only thing they sell.

I agree. The breading is supremely bland. I can easily make better fried chicken at home just by throwing a bunch of tony's in the flour. I even go to the original Cane's and it's the same shit. Soggy fries, soggy chicken, soggy bread. Maybe it's the packaging that does it, but Cane's is just "okay." The service is fast and the staff seem to actually give a shit, so that's why I still patronize them every once in a while.

My family loses their god damn minds every time we roll up to Canes. I don't get the fuss. It's tendies and fries. The sauce can made at home with shit that's probably already in your fridge. The toast is good, but it's just buttered toast.

The canes that opened near me has effectively disrupted the flow of traffic indefinitely. The place used to be a bank with a small parking lot and vicinity in general. It's so small it can only fit 5 cars at the drive thru from the menu. The rest of the line continues into the street and is so close to the intersection that people line up and block the roads. They don't care, they'll never care

Hello friend, you've made one of the three cardinal Cane's sins, the other two of which are not substituting your slaw for extra sauce and not opening the styrofoam box when you get a to-go order to prevent sog: eating the tendies plain.

You see, Raising Cane's is a delicate, delectable balancing act of flavors, temperatures, and textures. Every item that comes with a meal is intended to be chained together. The tendie should ALWAYS be covered in some sauce, and you should ALWAYS follow up a bite with either a french fry, a sip of your Arnold Palmer, some texas toast, or a mix-and-match of the three. This gets you an immediate difference in sensation and flavor to compare against the scorching-hot chicken, quenched only by the cold, creamy sauce, much like pairing wine with cheese.

Make no mistake, Cane's tendies are consistently piping-hot, the fries are consistently salted, the sauce tastes the exact same way every time. The employees will always give you the exact same amount of ice. Why, you might ask? Because to the seasoned eater, these are the perfect ratios for a perfect chorus of flavor, limited only by your understanding of all of my previous points.

I understand and sympathize with your error--many have made it in the past, and many will make it in the future. But surely the 30-car drive-thru and completely full parking lot are evidence of some disconnect between you and them.

Thanks, and have a blessed day.

We don't have places like Bojangles or Zaxby's around here, just Cane's and then national chains (or I assume they're national) like Popeyes and KFC. We used to have Slim Chickens, which was my favorite of them all. They had $6 chicken & waffles special on Wednesday, it was great. There were 2 locations nearby...then there was 1.

Is that like the only chicken place in your town or something? Where I live there's a Chick-Fil-A right down the street from Canes and Canes only ever has a line of 2-3 people max while the Chick-Fil-A line is around th block and down the street. The Canes line gets slightly longer on Sundays but never into the street.

You would happily eat the lowest quality meat cooked in month old oil if it had enough seasoned salt or Tony's on it. I am completely convinced that what most people think """"fried chicken""""" should taste like is just the seasoning. Why the fuck are you even eating the chicken? Just eat season salt off a fucking spoon and wash it down with peanut oil.

I know it's not ideal, but basically if you bring your own Cajun seasoning like Tony's and dust it on Cane's, it becomes god-tier. I realize it's dumb to have to being your own seasoning, but Cane's is like a perfect base to whatever you want to add.

What fast food place does better fried chicken strips? I really like the toast and sauce you get.

Why do blacks think being able to taste the actual food you're eating is such a crime? Is it because they burned off all their tastebuds smoking menthols, snorting crack, and drowning themselves in malt liquor? If you're going to bitch about Raising Cane's being bland, you may as well just buy some sysco or tyson nuggets made from reconstituted meat slurry and pour some listerine or motor oil on it.

I think Zaxby's is the same but better, but both aren't seasoned very heavy, it's up to you to add spicy shit to it. I just wind up using their sauces and having a not spicy meal and don't mind it. But for chicken fingers they are good because they actually cook them well. They are moist and juicy. Popeye's has great seasoning, but god damn if every time I get tendies there they are hard as a fucking brick and dry as fuck. I usually just get the chicken sandwich from there and toss the bread because it's actually m o i s t.

I don't get it either. Cane's might not be the best chicken in the world, but it BTFOs all of the other big chains around me. Chic-fil-a is such fucking garbage, it is the most bland chicken I've ever had and the sauces don't help at all. Even the ranch sucks.

I see on this shithole website i've found a fellow canes sage. Allow me to share my canes eating routine with you brother.
On occasions where i pass by canes simply hoping for a snack, I get a box combo with extra fries instead of coleslaw and add an extra canes sauce as extra. As you mention opening the box to let it vent on the way home is imperative to keeping your food crispy.
Once I arrive home, the ritual begins. I start with eating the garlic butter off the top of my bread to savor the salt flavor and prepare my tongue for the salt to come. I set the bread aside and open the first packet of canes sauce. I lick the canes sauce off the top and pair it with some fries in my mouth. once the top is devoid of sauce i begin on my chicken fingers, rationing perfectly so that by the time i've eaten the two fingers, i still have an acceptable amount of sauce left for fries. Once getting the sauce out of the cup with fries becomes a chore, I take half of the bread and wipe it around the cup like a sponge to soak all that sauce and consume it. I repeat this process for the remaining two tenders, fries, and sauce cup. When the meal is done I give thanks and look forward to when I get canes again next month. After all, it wouldn't be so special every time if i went frequently.
Have a blessed day anon
