JJ’s-devotees were certainly in a shock this fall. Sure from a cursory glance, JJ’s looks great! So many frozen meals! So much ice cream!

However, once you stepped up to that familiar counter, a perennial favorite was missing- the spicy chicken! The spicy strips of chicken breast were deep-fried to a tender and moist perfection. Great with any dipping sauce, or even on its own. Few items on the JJ’s menu could compete with such a culinary delight.

When asked, the JJ’s employees could not provide any details on the disappearance of such a widely-demanded item. One employee admitted, “Yeah a lot of people have been asking for it,” but denied any involvement with the sudden departure, “[The decision] comes from the higher-ups.”

Alas! Do not lose all hope, one inside source suggested that a petition may revive this Columbia cornerstone. We can only hope.
