I haven’t had fried chicken in a while now mind you, but both when I was a kid and my family would have leftover KFC, and as an adult in the rare occasion I do get fried chicken, I have always loved it more after it’s been sitting overnight in the fridge.
Won’t heat that shit in the microwave or nuthin, just eat it straight cold and love it like that.
I agree with you. My partner that his we are both nuts.
If you’re sticking with “better” then I think you’ve got an unpopular opinion there.
Still, it’s good though.
Standing by it. Prefer it over fresh n hot.
For me fresh fried chicken is better than cold, but cold fried chicken is better than microwaved
Better not eat too much chicken or you’ll run out of friends.

My 4 yo kid agrees with you
Have to disagree. Good cold, but better warmed up, just like your mother.
Ew, upvote
looks at you like a weirdo
You monster. Have my angry upvote
Cold fried chicken alone is not my preferred way of eating it; I love to use it in a salad! As it hits the spot only then for me, otherwise I gently reheat before eating. Cold pizza, that rates way higher for me.
I don’t know if it’s better, but it’s definitely good! Like cold pizza is good. It’s just a different food.
Cold pizza is a better breakfast.
The problem isn’t flavor, imo. Cold chicken is really good, in different ways from warm and hot. Dunno if I’d say better, but good in its own way.
It’s texture. Doesn’t matter what the temp is if the breading isn’t good, and cold breading might taste fine, but the texture is crap. Might as well not have fried chicken at that point, just pick up a rotisserie chicken instead, and go to town with it cold.
But, yeah, definitely an unpopular opinion!
Then you just haven’t had good fried chicken. The shit from KFC or grocery stores wouldn’t matter cause it was never good to begin with.
I personally don’t like it cold but I’m not surprised that you do - it gives seasoning more time to penetrate into the meat, and the texture gets really different.
Your last sentence makes it a bit tough. I want to upvote as I think the fresh hot chicken is better but cold is not bad to the point I would rather do cold than microwave it.
Cold fried chicken is pretty good and so is cold pizza.
