Church's Chicken

They had a new renovation and changed name to Church's Texas Chicken. It looked clean, but I saw a lot of flies. I found a coupon from their website, but they didn't allow me to use it. At last, I bought 2 sandwiches and 6 pcs of chicken wings to go. After I went home, I found 2 sandwiches and 5 chicken wings only. It wasted my time to go back to negotiate with them. Please remember to check your take out order before you leave.

Thus was our second visit to try their Texas fried chicken. One of the best things about this place is their tasty gravy although this time it was watery compared to our last visit. Maybe someone forgot to add the cornstarch thickener? Their prices for chicken seem high especially since you don't get any white meat pieces in their set piece menu. The spicy seasoning can be extremely spicy 😈😓 and concentrated in the crevices of the chicken flesh particularly when we ordered two extra pieces of white meat. The fries are crispy and their tiny honey biscuits are more like mini drop scones. Delicious. For wonderful spicy fried chicken we would rather go LA Chicken in Richmond. Their chicken is perfectly spiced, served with tasty gravy and we always get the white meal that we want in every order! The Texas chicken here is a noveltry but there are better places to go for fried chicken.

I usually don't go out of my way to post bad reviews for restaurants but I felt that this negative review can serve as a warning for spicy chicken lovers like me (spoiler alert: there's no spicy chicken. Tastes just like regular) . In short: go to the further one or Popeyes but don't waste your money at this specific location anymore. Ordered the spicy chicken but it tastes like regular chicken. This is not an isolated case, it happened so many times since they renovated. It's such a shame but I can confidently say, this is the last time I'll be spending money here. I went here on a Sat evening between 8-9pm. If management is serious about business they should take action with this information.

This Churches chicken location was always my "go to" chicken restaurant in Richmond up until recently. The quality of food has gone way down! The chicken I received last time was so greasy it slipped into the garbage can with ease, it was absolutely unpalatable! I'm sure the deep fryer oil is not being changed on a regular basis due to the colour of the chicken and the amount of grease accumulated at the bottom of the box. The gravy was watered down so much it wasn't much thicker than milk. I won't return.
