Tribal People Try Popeyes For The First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet Popeyes fried chicken for the first time. Most of them had never seen it before the camera started, so the first minute is questions — what is it, what's in it, how do you eat it — and then the plates go round.
What is fried chicken?
Fried chicken is chicken pieces in seasoned flour, deep-fried until the crust shatters. The American South made it a dish; KFC made it a global chain, and Korean fried chicken added a thin, extra-crisp coating and a sticky glaze.
Popeyes started in New Orleans in 1972 with Louisiana-style spicy fried chicken; its 2019 chicken sandwich sold out nationwide within two weeks.
What to watch for
Crunch is universal. Fried chicken is one of the few foods that wins on the first bite almost every time. The comments are about the coating — thick, salty, peppery — and about how much chicken there actually is under it.
The comparison they always make
Village chicken is a curry or a tandoori roast; frying it in batter is a shop treat, not home cooking. KFC has been in Pakistan since 1997, so the older men know the name even if they have never sat in one.
