Popeye's Fried Chicken Clone 2.0

Updating Recipe 249927 .Some of the changes were also inspired by a series called "Pau's Fried Chicken" I saw on YouTube.. I might also check out Todd Wilbur's clone and compare. Some of the information was also gathered from watching videos from Undercover Boss, and behind the scenes documentary of New Orleans chicken spots, and others attempting to make a clone.
