Popeye's Chicken is much better
made with New Orleans / Louisiana flavors (and really good Red Beans & Rice as a side dish - Yum!)
When a KFC store is near a Popeye's , the KFC usually fails...

It is constantly voted "Best Chicken" in New Orleans (and they are very choosy!)
www.popeyes.com/menu.php (but you can't smell it over the net - Web 3.0?) Looks like Germany is as close as they are to you right now. hosted.where2getit.com/popeyes/pulldown.html
anyway, I have been eating "southern cooking" for many years, not exactly healthy and life-giving, but a good batch of fried chicken is one of those essential items that has to be done just right. Popeye's gets it, KFC will do in a pinch, but any other fast food chain I have ever tried has been worse than horrible. If you can get it "home-made" like at a Black Southern Baptist church dinner, or even a "good ol' chicken shack" kind of diner you will experience true food joy! Crunch-factor, meaty, salt, pepper, steamy hot aroma...
and it has to be real pieces with bones n stuff in them - none of those "Finger" things, please!
It is sort of like the difference between a really good fresh local fish n chips and some frozen fission-chip microwave product from a motorway restaurant.

Needs!!!!!
Need this now!!
Wonder how much it would cost to UPS some over in a vacuum sealed box? If I win the euro lottery jackpot this week, I shall have some flown over on a first class seat. Just like Bono's hat, but more tasty.

good fried chicken needs to be eaten right away!
it is OK cold the next day if it is really home-made, but even Popeye's fades a bit too much after a even hour. You would be better off taking a road trip to Germany (however, I don't know if they change the recipe outside the US.
(I remember having KFC in Osaka one time - something I would not recommend to anybody!)
