      Meanwhile, I was struggling not to feel nauseous. Yes, seeing chicken (mainly fried and rotisserie) for any length of time can make me feel nauseous. This is due to feeling sick many years ago, and the smell/thought of rotisserie chicken making that feeling worse. My brain made an involuntary association for me, and I do not appreciate it.

      I would bet they had chicken but someone pulled the halon fire suppression system over the chicken fryers making them a safety hazard until the halon people came out and repressurized the halon system and a health hazard until the oil was replaced and all the halon dust was vacuumed up.
      25 years ago I was on the window in the drive thru at McDonald's after an ass hat on working papers grabbed the red handle marked "Fire Suppression System Emergency Use Only" and pulled it as he asked "What does this do?" "That? When you pull that for no valid reason that gets you fired and earns you the immediate hatred of all of your former coworkers" was the manager on duty and within ear shots immediate reply.

    What they call KFC now is this limp, overcooked, sat under a heat-lamp for f*** knows how long garbage that doesn't even taste right. It is NOT the KFC of my childhood. Even the colour of the chicken itself is wrong and just seems... off.

    When I moved into the neighbourhood 15 years ago, I was delighted that there was a KFC just a block from the major intersection, which was about another block away from me, because that meant it was close by for the Tuesday special every week. What I would do is to purchase the special, then pay extra for an extra thigh. Eventually, I noticed that the pieces were getting smaller, and finally realized that what was going on was that the thighs were being cut in half, but still being advertised as full thighs.
    Luckily there was a Popeye's near me as well, but a bit of a further walk, like nearly two stoplights away. Their Tuesday special was also a leg and thigh, with sides costing less for the special, so I'd get a side of fries. Turns out that the cost of a leg and WHOLE thigh at Popeye's, with fries, ended up only costing me 40 cents more then what I had been paying at KFC for essentially the same thing. So now, every Tuesday, I will walk that extra distance to get Popeye's.
    (I really don't know what happened. It might have been a decision at the corporate level, or it might have been a decision made at that store. I DO know that for some time they had one server there who was so bad that the only reason I could think of as to why she still had her job was that she was married to the franchise owner.)

    I grew up with Church's. The secret to getting good chicken from there, is go to a busy store. The chicken doesn't have time to sit under the lamps.

    First I must say how much I envy you for getting to do this. Second I must applaud your accuracy in your rankings, including acknowledging that although Church's is 3rd it's a darn good 3rd. Now I must point out the problem with this process: it seems you got the mild chicken at Popeyes, which is an abomination. Popeyes is a spicy chicken restaurant. Mild was not even on the original menu, and was only added later because some people are psychotic. The other side of this is that even if you get the spicy at a location outside of Louisiana it's still hit or miss. "Spicy" Popeyes from New Orleans (you should never have to specify spicy) is a huge cut above and beats Bojangles due to its perfect flavor, texture, and juiciness. Despite my obvious bias, though, otherwise I completely agree with your assessment of my favorite food. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Two are absolute no-go's due to poor management and quality. Four are excellent - with the other two being hit or miss. Popeye's has tried to make inroads - though its two sites are terrible due to poor management and quality. It's a shame because I have had some excellent Popeye's chicken in other parts of the country.

    I remember when KFC was a sit down restaurant and it was ALWAYS amazing. What ruined them was BECOMING a fast food restaurant with a drive thru. I've ate at two Popeyes and wasn't impressed by either. I've never even seen Church's. Bojangles depends on the store and management.
    We have 4 Bojangles within 30 miles of my house. One serves the best chicken I've ever eaten, the 2 in my "direct" local area are OK, and the 4th is in a bigger town to our west and they flat out serve nothing but dog food (and that's being generous).

    Bojangles used to have two flavors of fried chicken, southern and Cajun. Southern was amazing chicken with no spiciness whatsoever. Cajun was almost like eating hot wings. At some point, they just met in the middle and made nothing but mild spiced chicken. It's still good, but nothing like what it used to be. If you've never had southern chicken from Bojangles, you don't know what you're missing. With that being said, Bojangles is still the best in my book, and it's not just because of their fried chicken. Their breakfast menu sets them apart rivaling and outdoing all other fast-food chains. If fact, I bet they make more from breakfast items than anything else.

    I freaking love fried chicken!!! When I was a vegetarian for health reasons for 4+ years it was fried chicken (okay and bacon) that I missed the very most! I’m now gluten free (also for health reasons) and miss regular fried chicken so much! I make a pretty tasty and juicy gluten free fried chicken though-using Bobs Gluten Free Flour. Pretty close but not quite. I fully agree with Matt’s criteria-flavor and crispness are everything!!! Fried chicken just makes me happy, too, people, I understand! Dark meat is also superior. Mmm. Absolutely delicious and spot on!!! Another fantastic video filled with delicious food! Makes me crave fried chicken! I agree the KFC isn’t the best. Church’s is crispy & delicious though but definitely always in the ghetto, even here in Las Vegas. I prefer it better over Popeyes or KFC. Church’s wins for me! It’s so crispy, greasy, juicy & yummy!! Never had Bo Jangles. Fried chicken period, though....YUM!
