@@RosinGoblin*sigh* Here we go. The profile picture belongs to youtuber by the name of maximilianMus. He is a channel that is dedicated to trolling in games and dates back to the over watch days. This youtuber's channel has gone to literal hell and back, and with that comes an extremely loyal fan base. Anyway, the youtuber posted a youtuber video title along the lines of "we will take over youtube" where he commands his followers to change their profile picture to his and comment on every single video they watch. The goal was to troll youtubers with their normal comment section.... except for the fact that every one had the same profile picture. Now here is where it gets bananas. The MaximilianMus fans instead went complete over kill, and comment and spam nothing but the word "oh yeah yeah" on every single video they could. This resulted in over 100 youtubers with their comments flooded with people with same profile picture and the word "oh yeah yeah". And various people like my self who had no idea of Max joined in on the fun, as the community was a real one you can interact with despite everyone looking the same. Now everything has calmed down, and Max regrets none of it, but fans still haven't changed their profile picture and probably won't anytime soon. Now I will cut my comment right here as I have noticed I went a little over board with the "explanation". Have a good day :D

[@RyanJardina]

@@davidlynch7704 First to make it clearer I worked there over a decade ago. Its funny you bring up the training videos. Chickfila was my first real job, wanted to do really good at it too. I follow the instructions on the video to the letter. And got chewed out a few times about it too. I worked at a free standing chickfila, and when it started raining hard in the video it stated to put down an extra entrance carpet. Due to water being tracked in, did that plus a wet floor sign. Floor was soaked. The owner threw a fit, and said these videos were just guidance. and most of my co-workers told me just ignore those videos. He must of been doing something right because he is one of the few to own two chickfilas and he was on the home page back then for the longest time. The food was another thing all together 🤣

@@southernafare2048 Nah, it's a basic marinade. Not pickle juice. I think the reason that so many people think it's pickle juice, is just because of how often pickles are being handled in operations.

The filets are not supposed to come out like that. If it is then the filet is 1. Caked with too much coater And 2. The coater in the breading table has not been properly Maintained which contributes to #1 The breading is supposed to act as a shield for the filet, keeping in the moisture. Too much coater would make it taste dry also making it harder to cook. There is a lot that goes on when it comes to breading and some of us treat it as an art.

Also, I worked at the original Chick-fil-A, the Dwarf House in Hapeville Georgia. The one that sells burgers and has always sold a different menu than all the other chain Chick-fil-A so I can't be certain that what I experience would be transferred to every other Chick-fil-A location or employee. I do remember something sitting in a milk bath overnight. It could have been a chicken strips but I may have confused it for the chicken breast. It was fun working there though but it was 20 years ago so I don't remember everything clearly.

[@DavidStapley0982]

Yeah no they don't do that lol. As a director of kitchen and facilities at Utah's biggest Chick-fil-A I can confirm the industry does not allow chicken to sit in milkwash overnight.

[@MondezDurden]

@@DavidStapley0982 well damn. LOL! Why do I remember seeing chicken strips sitting in milk wash overnight over and over and over and over again. I know my memory is not great but I also know I'm not crazy. Maybe I remember them putting it in milk wash for a few hours and sitting it in the refrigerator before they could pull it out to bread and confuse that with it being overnight. I don't know. I have a very distinct memory of seeing them play sit in a milk wash and put it in the refrigerator but I have to honestly say I don't really remember it being overnight. I just assumed it was overnight because it was years ago. Thank you so much for your responses. I appreciate that y'all didn't get nasty with me. I really just am not remembering this well but it's not intentional. LOL! I love Chick-fil-A. I don't want to pass any bad rumors to them. LOL!

Looks okay, but that ain't no Popeyes

You are comparing two different things. Popeyes is good, but to damn expensive.

[@emilythomas8305]

pittpanther28 yea CFA better.

Every Popeyes I've ever been too has been ass. Biscuit will kill you if you ain't got a drink, and the chicken itself is... Basic ASF

In these modern times, I would love for Chick Fil A to offer additionally, an air fried option. Air fried food is becoming more common now. Chick Fil A could have air fryer units alongside the oil pressure cookers.

[@casper2047]

This kind of stuff won't work in an air fryer.

[@joeybarrelwilde]

They have test kitchens where they can prefect an air fried version with a recipe formula change. The chicken just has milk, egg, dill, salt, & pepper. Simple really. The dill makes the chicken special.

[@casper2047]

somethingsomethingDarkSide Why should I shut up? I’m just offering my informed opinion. I just don’t think an air fryer can offer a similar result.

They aren't telling you that they soak the chicken in pickle juice over night. That's the key to it being tender.

[@deeb.154]

i've soaked chicken in pickle juice & it kinda cooks it. like, the chicken looks stringy from the acid cooking it. so i don't think that's true

[@jetplane2204]

yeah this is false info

[@PoKeKidMPK1]

the key to it being tender is the fakeness of it lmao jk but its probably soaked in chemicals over night rofl

[@danielrussell3239]

He is actually right. We do soak the chicken in pickle juice for about 6 hours. It is what gives it that great taste and tenderness.
