That chicken does not look appetizing to me at all. It looks waaaay overcooked - to the point of being burnt. Crispy is all well and good, but that is crazy.

That chicken is beyond crispy, it can't taste good. Plus, what pleasure is there in eating over fried crust and dried out chicken?

I agree, that is beyond crispy and shouldn't even even be served, and I like my fried things uber crispy too.
