Tried these last nite. I'm honestly not a fan of KFC at all but these looked good. They turned out great !!! Thanks for the recipe.

I served them with a rasberry habanero sauce (thanks Keywesmoke), a horseradish/habanero (lotties) sauce and then a mayo and german mustard sauce. Then som mac n cheese and some fried okra.

Here are a couple non-q-views.
