Retrotalk : Retro Central : Boston Market $1 Chicken Meal Deal

Not sure how widespread it is, but coupoins for this special are flying all over the building at work.



Basically, the restaurant chain is offering a chicken meal for $1 that includes your choice of a quarter white chicken or 3-piece dark, with mashed potatoes and cornbread.  You just need to have a coupon for it.  Coupons can be found at their website: http://www.bostonmarket.com (be prepared for slow web traffic there, though).



It was in response to another KFC giveaway called UnFry Day, that offered a single piece of grilled chicken free.  Indications are that people are flocking to Boston Market for the deal -- at 11:30 this morning, the waiting line at my local restaurant (about three blocks from work) was out the door and across the whole front of the building.  Someone must be losing money on this -- either the corporation or the franchisers -- but it might bring in new business and possibly bring people back later for a $6.99 meal.



KFC's deal was one day only, but Boston's runs through Sunday.



UPDATE:  If you can't reach the Boston Market site, you can print the coupon at:
