Blows my mind that anyone thinks that fried chicken or mac and cheese belong at a picnic. They'd get cold!
There are a lot of weirdos who think cold fried chicken is great. I had a roommate who ate it right out of the fridge. Never underestimate the infinite diversity of bad taste.
Good fried chicken can be great cold, especially if you properly store it in the fridge to minimize how much moisture it absorbs. Mediocre or bad fried chicken is awful cold thought.
Mediocre fried chicken is bad either way. Good hot fried chicken is better than cold, but I'd still love it at a picnic or as a drunk 3am meal.
I'd take most cold fried chicken over microwaved fried chicken if that's all you've got to reheat it.
What, am I an animal? Air fryer or oven! Covered pan on the stove in a pinch.
People don't normally have microwaves at picnics....
My wife takes fresh hot pizza and puts it in the fridge to get cold first before eating it.
Time to lawyer up
Your ex-wife does what?
Fried chicken is delicious at every temperature god damn it. It’s just like pizza!
Cold fried chicken is fabulous. Maybe you're just eating shitty, dry garbage.
My brother in Christ, what do you think lunch meat / cold cuts are?
They aren’t breaded and fried in oil for starters
That actually depends. Also, no one is forcing you to bread your chicken?
That's . . . how fried chicken is made
Yes, yes, you're right of course - if we're talking fried chicken exclusively.
Fried chicken is a great picnic food, since it is delicious hot or cold.
Mac and cheese, though... God no. Give me a nice macaroni salad instead.
Potato salad is superior to macaroni salad. I'll die on this hill.
I won't argue against that. Potato salad is awesome.
