I ended up at the casual sit down location in Terminal C. The one in Terminal A is an express counter. Although I took the time to carefully look over the menu on the official online site, the offerings at the airport unfortunately seemed to have been watered down considerably. I'm guessing to cater to the majority indifferent transient crowd (Nachos anyone?). But lucky for me they did manage to save the fried chicken plate that I was set on. The roast chicken and meatloaf with special gravy were also enticing though.
I'm not sure how close this airport rendition of Paschal's famous recipe Southern fried chicken compares to the brick and mortar original's but thought it was pretty decently executed for one that was most probably done in a deep fryer (a cast iron skillet would be my preferred way). The seasoning seemed a bit light and maybe young with the buttermilk brine (if it were done the way), but was a nice large and juicy quarter leg portion with a relatively lighter crust. White meat is optional of course.
The two side choices were Mac and Cheese and candied yams. Switched out the small green salad to instead a third side of steamed cabbage
