I think you'd do well to go bzck to a flip phone, then. Or check with
Consumer Cellular to see if they have a down-sized smarty-pants phone.

We used to have a Church's locally .... but their location did them in.
It was at an intersection of two busy streets - one of which could not
be used for entry/exit as it was on the downslope of the viaduct under
the rail corridor (6 tracks) that the propert backed up on. And the
location at a traffic light meant that the entrance/exit on that road
were usually blocked by motorists waiting for the light to change or
zipping along trying to get through the corner before having to stop and
wait. After the chicken place closed some optimist had a used car lot
there for a while. But, mostly, the property has been vacant.

Popeyes, meanwhile, continues to do a "land office" business in their
two easily accessible locations. They have recently added a blackened
chicken sandwich to their line-up.

     Title: Popeyes Blackened Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Chilies,
     Yield: 4 servings

     2 lb Chicken breast or tenders
          - sliced
     4 tb Butter
     4 tb Oil

MMMMM------------------------SEASONING-------------------------------
     1 tb Smoked paprika
     2 ts Salt
     1 ts Black pepper
     2 ts Garlic powder
     1 ts Onion powder
     1 ts Dried oregano
     1 ts Brown sugar
   1/2 ts Chipotle powder

 Set your oven @ 400ºF/205ºC and line a baking sheet with
 parchment paper (or foil, if you have no parchment
 paper). Gather all of the ingredients you need. If using
 breasts, slice into chicken tender like strips.

 Add the seasoning ingredients into a bowl and stir to
 ensure everything is evenly distributed. Grab a large
 bowl and add the chicken, half of the vegetable oil (two
 tablespoons), and your seasoning. Mix and toss well, so
 that each chicken piece is completely covered. Leave for
 at least 20 minutes. Or anywhere up to 24 hours (it
 should then be covered and kept in a refrigerator).

 With the remaining half of the oil (2 tablespoons), add
 to a skillet. Once hot, add the tenders (do not
 overlap). Sear for around 2 minutes on each side. Do not
 sear for longer than that. Then place your chicken
 tenders onto your prepared baking sheet. Place in the
 center of your oven for around 10 minutes. Take out of
 oven and leave to cool slightly.

 Leave the chicken to rest for around 5 minutes. In the
 meantime, add the butter to the pan so it melts. Stir
 continuously until completely melted. Now pour the
 butter over the blackened chicken. Your chicken is now
 ready to serve. Enjoy!

 If you’d like to air fry your chicken instead of baking,
 do not sear the chicken. Just place the chicken tenders
 into a heated air fryer (375ºF/190ºC) for around 8-10
 minutes. Be sure to check the chicken often to ensure it
 doesn’t overcook.
