OP doesn't know when to walk away, or when to run. He probably doesn't even know when to fold.
Kenny Rogers makes some fine fried chicken, though it doesn't compare to the actual original recipe that The Colonel sold, which is possible to recreate, but no longer possible to buy, prepared for consumption, ever since KFC took over the store in Corbin.
I guess I'll have to try the different replica recipes found online. The stuff that you get at KFC itself is mediocre at best and I lost interest in it as soon as a better chicken joint turned up near me.
