          How does the quote go?

          I’d agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.

          Hahaha. But for real, medyo nahihilo lang ako sa mantika ng Chicken Joy now, but I used to love it.

            @heliosef Ganito siya lumabas (attached screenshot).

            But, yeah, mamantika nga. Ginagawa ko, lagyan gravy.

            Although if there are more options, Uncle John’s chicken and KFC Philippines chicken are better.

            Uncle John’s chicken, it’s crispier, less grease, and consistently big. Sa Jollibee, if it’s a franchise store it’s small; but if it’s handled by JFC itself, it’s big.

            While the chicken of KFC Philippines is soft and tastier, on the medium size.

            Hmm… Mang Inasal too? Still, I’ll pick Uncle John’s or KFC Philippines over Jollibee and Mang Inasal.

                @rom @heliosef

                That I’m not sure. I only recalled reading how franchise stores basically have more freedom, and they have an option to choose their own source (for example chicken) as long as they use the same recipe and pass HQ’s quality tests.

                Since then, whenever the chicken is smaller, I assume it’s a franchise store that decided to source independently. Because the ones that come directly from JFC are from big chickens.

                I guess the best way is to ask.

                Hmm… that gave me an idea, track and mark branches that are franchises and have small chickens. _;;

                  That’s weird. 🤔 I don’t know it for a fact, but I doubt* that’s true. Franchises are notorious for controlling what store owners do. Allowing a different source means less money. And I doubt they’d share the recipe with anyone. Stores don’t mix marinades and sauces themselves. Food are typically provided already ready to cook.

                    Yep, it is weird. There are strict guidelines for franchises. Sadly, I can’t find it anymore. But, it makes sense as an explanation why some stores have small chicken (like last week, a certain store along Kalaw their chicken obviously came from a small breed; not the big breed Jollibee is known for); even though there isn’t a reported chicken supply problem this year.

                    Or maybe, franchises have an option to order the big or small chicken breed from JFC? The small chicken breed is cheaper? But still, it’s a question why JFC doesn’t have the same breed of chicken across all stores in the Philippines, or even within NCR.

                    Like what I mentioned earlier, minsan na lang ako kumain sa labas, maliit na manok pa yung sa branch na 'yun.

              Yung sleeper ko sa local fast food chicken is Kipp’s. Dalawang branch lang alam ko: sa Megamall and Southmall food courts.

              I can’t explain the flavor, pero parang combined Uncle John’s and KFC siya, if you haven’t tried it yet. Absolutely unhealthy, though.
