Carnation Cafe Chicken Fried Chicken

Is this fried chicken like the chicken at the Plaza Inn but without the bones? I really want to try Plaza Inn but the sides are very unappealing to me and this looks better! I'm a picky eater myself

No.

Chicken-fried Chicken is uses different ingredients and different cooking process. The meat is dredged in buttermilk, then seasoned flour, then fried. If you ever had Chicken-Fried/Country-Fried/Texas-Fried Steak, it's the same process...with different meat.

While many compare the Plaza Inn chicken to traditional Southern-fried chicken, it's actually "broasted" chicken, pressure cooked in oil in special reinforced pressure cookers. Though the Boasted brand is trademarked and marketed throughout the U.S. (world?), it doesn't have a patent and is not the only one to cook chicken this way...KFC also pressure cooks their chicken.

Thanks for the info.. I should have worded my question a bit differently as I was wondering if the breadingbused is similar. They both look delicious (with no gravy) so I'll have to add the CC chicken to my Disney eats bucket list along with the fried pickles!

I didn't notice the chicken at CC being spicy at all. If it is spicy, it's not much. We also had the fried pickles. They were yummy. Although I thought the portions size was pretty small. It seems like there were 8 pieces but they were small pieces, not regular pickle spear size.
