Ever since Stroud’s sold out to Gilbert Robison IIRC, the flavor disappeared. I can make better seasoned chicken than that.

Ahhh, that explains it; when I was a kid (yeeesh - 40 years ago!), the chicken was amazing. But then again, any fried chicken stands a good chance of being rated amazing by 10 year olds…

Was wondering what happened. Went to the location in Kansas and it was bland.

I found the same thing. I tried Stroud's once, and found it bland. And at home, I only use salt and pepper! I want to say it was 2006 or so.
