    Their sauce is okay (I prefer Layne’s), but that’s good because it’s fuckin’ necessary, since I think somebody saw a recipe for the batter that included a pinch of black pepper and said , “Whoa there motherfucker! We ain’t makin’ ethnic food here!”

    Admittedly, when the Cane’s comes out it does always look very sanitary and photo-ready. Like, I don’t feel like I’m gonna get Salmonella from eating there, but it’s just so joyless.

      I’ve been telling people this for years. The only reason they like Cane’s is the sauce. And that is easily replicated at home. It’s not a particularly special sauce with weird ingredients, it’s a fairly generic burger and fry sauce.

      The actual Chicken is bland and boring, it’s like they don’t realize spices exist at all, even salt. Absolutely anywhere else you could possibly go has better fried chicken.
