Earl Eats Popeye's $5 Boneless Wing Bash - A Review

There are no Popeye's near us, so this was more of an impromptu decision while shopping in a store near this one. I will start off by saying neither my wife (a.k.a. "Turkey") nor I have liked our previous visits. Why then did I decide to eat there? Beside being hungry, I saw the word WINGS. I like wings better than any other chicken piece. Then I saw that it was a $5 BASH and I felt I needed wings...WAIT! What's that small print? BONELESS? I don't know if you know this, but WINGS HAVE BONES! PERIOD! Restaurants who try to sell you these are not delicately removing the delicious meat from the bone for your enjoyment, they are selling some other part of the chicken and renaming it. It is false adverting. If I gave you thighs and called them breasts you would SCREAM! So this is me screaming. Meanwhile, I was now HANGRY and decided to carry on.

This is what I mean. Let's analyze their ad. 

• First: It wasn't $5! Including tax, it was almost $7, and no, I didn't supersize anything.
• Second: IT WASN'T WINGS! Boneless or otherwise. It wasn't even wing-like. THESE ARE NUGGETS, pure and simple. Pictured here they look big. They aren't.
• Lastly: How can it be a BASH when it costs more and isn't what is advertised?

 My photo on the left shows exactly what my to-go looked like as I opened it in my car. I substituted mashed potatoes for fries and they were about what KFC offers these days. The biscuit was quite flat, like it hadn't risen enough. The one nice surprise was their honey mustard dipping sauce which was unlike any I had tried, but hey, this should be about the chicken, right? The chicken was okay, but no better than Wendy's or McDonald's. So this $3 or  $4 dollar meal cost me $7! If you want wings go to Wingers or Buffalo Wild Wings or your favorite wing place. If you want value, this is not the place either. I am still looking for the reasons people go here at all!
