Popeye's has small pieces of chicken, decent though. Chic-fila, okay. The quality of Church's chicken fell off, no flavor. KFC does not ensure that chicken is thoroughly cooked. El Pollo Local's chicken is DRY. Although there are now few franchises, Golden Bird and Pioneer Chicken are not as good as they used to be used to be back in the day. Crispy chicken does not necessarily need to have cayenne pepper on it. Have found "dough-like, uncooked" pieces at KFC. Look at your chicken before leaving people!
The problem with these fast food outlets is that they are franchises and the quality varies depending on how well the individual franchise is run. I have recently given up on KFC as the quality of food in my three local outlets has declined rapidly in the last couple of years.

You are not the only one, mate. Also, the rice is too few. The servers often reason this is because of pandemic blablabla... They just do not deliver consistent chicken. Imagine Gordon Ramsay coming there, what will he find and say.
My problem with KFC lately is that it tastes like bone marrow. They are cutting it differently than they used to. I'll specifically go to Popeyes now and skip them, and once you lose customers, you'll usually never get them back. Great job of saving money KFC, it will be your downfall.
Nice to know I'm not the only one who thought KFC was declining, I thought it was a change in my taste buds. I would love to be able to have some of the chicken Saunders actually sold. It sounds delicious from what I have heard. That said, I still think it's better than Churches. Went there once, not going back.
10 years ago KFC was great. 5 years ago it was OK. today it is consistently bad I quit going. Recently tried Popeyes after years of not going there, it was very good but you have to get it right after it comes out of the fryer. I think that is true of all of them.
Agreed, and I think Popeyes is declining.... compared to Bojangles.... but for the best Chicken Sandwich, nothing will ever and I've had them all, will ever beat Chick Fil A
It's safe to say that this narrator has probably eaten chicken a whopping three times in her life. Comparing Wing Stop to Popeyes is simply mind boggling!
I've always liked KFC but the last time I went to the one in Three Rivers, Michigan I was disappointed with the chicken, the coating was falling off the meat and the employees didn't seem to care about what they serve the customers and at times you have to stand around waiting for someone to take your order then stand around waiting for your order. Customer service isn't important to them
After hear the complaint that Popeye's chicken "tastes like chicken" I decided to disregard this video and it's rankings. You would pray that the chicken you purchased regardless the restaurant would taste like chicken. Not owl, buzzard, hawk or mystery meat. LOL
I'm from Louisiana close to where Mr. Copland built one of his Popeyes chicken restaurants. On the corner of a busy highway. I remember in the 80S the line would be 3 blocks or better of people waiting to come inside. And the drive thru had to have police manage the traffic. It was worth the wait. Thank you Mr. Al Copland for all you've been for New Orleans and Chicken lovers ❤
I knew Al Copeland when he was night manager at father-in-laws donut shop in Houma. We had a place called Danny's fried chicken where & Al would get a half of Danny's every night on his way to work. He was always trying to imitate their recipe until he finally copied it. then he moved to New Orleans & got hooked up with the right people & started Popeye's. They used to be awesome. But the size of the chicken has fallen off a cliff for the prices they charge.
Part of my job is to fry and bake chicken - 8-piece, whole birds, and tenders. Not for anybody in the video, but for somebody you've heard of. The secret is to consume the chicken as soon as possible after it's prepared. All of it is pretty good right out of the fryer. All of it declines in quality the longer it sits in the warmer. Two hours is about it for hot fried chicken. similar results for baked. After that, the most important thing is how well they take care of their frying oil. Some use the same oil for weeks at a time. It should be changed every few days. It should also be filtered after every couple big frys. Putting just a minimal mount of breading on the chicken really helps keep the oil clean(extra crispy chicken is the pits. Often lousy chicken disguised with too much breading.) Too much flour accelerates the degradation of the oil. Some say cotton seed or peanut oil is the best, but soybean oil makes good chicken as well. I don't know but I believe Chik-Fil-A has such a large market acceptance because they change their oil WAY more often than anybody else. Chicken should always be fresh, never frozen. More consistent quality that way. The only exception being some cooked, then frozen wingettes are quite good reheated in the oven or fryer. bon appetit..........
Wish I could eat your fried chicken, I agree with everything you said. You can tell it's old grease and even taste the fish they fried in the same grease.
I've been a huge fan of Popeye's Chicken for years now. I liked the fact that they had sides that many other chicken places didn't have - specifically, cajun rice and jambalaya. During, and after, the pandemic, the locations near me (Southern CA) dropped these two sides from their menus. I'm pretty sure this change is company-wide too. I'm still staying with them, but I really miss those two sides. I'm hoping Popeye's management will come to its senses and bring them back.
You do know Bojangles had the same sides... but when it comes to a Chicken Sandwich... no one does it better than Chick Fil A.... Sorry, I love Popeyes, but not the Sandwich, it is on the same par as Bojangles.... Good, but Zaxbys is better but no one beats Chick Fil A! Period Best tasting Chicken Sandwich of all time and I can't even make one that good myself!
I agree with you on the Cajun Rice, the Jambalaya, The Sides and their normal Fried Chicken... just not the Sandwich, it's not that good! They Skimped on it! Just my thought!
Totally agree. Last bucket I had was about a year ago. Never again. Dry, overcooked, as well as some undercooked in the same fricken basket. No amount of breading or spices can cover that kind of crap.
Maybe I need to try it from where you're from because I'm from myrtle beach South Carolina. We had 1 that didnt last long. Was horrible, but the biscuits were amazing
The Colonel would be turning in his grave if he heard go to KFC for the sides, not the chicken. Damn shame, you had one job. Chicken. Use to be really good. Was fun to watch. Great video
This video's title should've been: "We contacted a bunch of fast food joints to see which one is willing to pay more, to have their chicken on the top of our list!"
@nexus169 Churches is WAY better than KFC. I think Churches is pretty good, and the video even said their chicken is "hit or miss" so it may just depend on which specific location/time you get it.
What's the weather like on your planet? CfA consistently ranks at the top in polls. They offer a superior product, and their staff is highly customer service oriented. That's why they out sell other fast food places despite being closed Sundays, (the equivalent of 7+ weeks per year).
Chick-Filet is overpriced, period. Get a sandwich, fries and a drink and look at their tiny sandwich and small amount of fries. NOT a good value for money. Buy the same thing at Popeyes, and you’ll be filled up, with the sandwich being MUCH larger. Also, they generally dump fries on your tray or in the take-out bag. At Chick-Filet they carefully fill their tiny fry packages to make sure you don’t get too much. I am an ordinary consumer, not associated with Popeyes, but my advice, if you care at all about value for money, skip Chick-Filet.
I never had Church's, but where I live, there's quite a lot so I might try it. If y'all have this chicken joint called PDQ, you should check it out! They're delicious and their tater tots are everything🤤🥴
Even fast food varies by restaurant . The local KFC where I used to live was kind of bland. So if I was in a hurry the local supermarket deli was better; but if I drove to the one next town over that was really good!
I went to pdq one day randomly i didnt even know it existed now they have a customer for life ... the customer service is top notch the chicken sandwiches are great and the milkshakes are delicious
If your lucky enough to live near a Publix supermarket, You must try their fried chicken or chicken tenders.. IMO best chicken ever.. The deli chicken subs are insane good also! :)
I can confirm that because my friend from Virginia (before they finally build it there) we pick up so fried chicken from publix and he said it's very fresh and hot I said yeah lol
I know you don't mention about chicken that is served at buffet restaurant, but I love the chicken at Golden Corral, whether it's fried or baked, the chicken is done just right,I have never had a bad piece of chicken ever!
I used to live in St. Louis, MO. And I went to a Church's Chicken. They had just opened and I was the 1st customer. So I expected to get some fresh chicken. It tasted disgusting. The breading was blackish. I asked them when was the last time they changed the oil. They said they change the oil once every other week. I have never been back.
If they had just opened and you were the first customer, why would the oil have been there for any substantial length of time? Why would you even ask in that case? Regardless, I haven't had Church's in many years, but I don't recall it being anything spectacular, or even really good.
Professor Multipurpose Church’s was really good in the 80s and after that Popeye’s owned them and they were still really good. Popeye’s sold them in 2004 and the quality has been going down ever since.
Back in the 60's & 70's (I'm 72) KFC was consistently great, but now a days it is a matter of - "Roll the Dice and hope you win" I live in a small town in Central Wisconsin and we do have a KFC but the best fried chicken is from the Deli Dept at out local Piggly Wiggly grocery store.
TBH, people hyped up the popeyes chicken sandwich wayyy too much. It was just a good chicken sandwich, that's all. but it was not that crazy at all. People just hopped on the bandwagon as usual.
It's fun to go around trying different chicken restaurants! One side overlooked in the KFC segment: their Cole slaw. It's always been the very best around... anywhere!
If I owned a Chicken Restaurant, I would serve ButterMilk Fryed Chicken. I actually tenderized the Chicken in ButterMilk for 3 days, one time. Meat was starting to fall off the bone - even though the Chicken was Raw. The Chicken turned out EXCELLENT!
Asian Octopus that’s not a lot of work. You just have to keep the cycle going and have the chicken ready three days in advance. Next day you do the same thing and so on and so forth.
@@gferdyg eh, would you do that, only to sell an entire family meal for $18.99? Or would you just do what every other chain store does and just sell bland chicken? I mean, people are hungry and they'll buy it anyway
Asian Octopus that mentality is what gives rise to mediocre establishments survival. However Publix supermarket fried chicken is very delicious and they aren’t expensive. Also this process isn’t expensive. Buttermilk is pretty cheap so it doesn’t cost the business that much. In fact, fried chicken needs some sort of dredge. All they need to do is have some sort of seasoned flour to dump the chicken in after and they’re all set.
Great reviewed of these chicken joint in a nutshell! I will only go the first thing the door opens in the morning! I will not go in the evening because these chicken had been sitting there especially KFC and Popeye's! 🤣🤔
The Publix grocery store has really good fried chicken at reasonable prices. You have to get there when it first comes out as you can choose your piece. Size varies as does the amount of crust. Krogers is ok if it's very fresh or cold and very marked down. It's an interesting flavor as a novelty.
PiplupJamesBattle is it just the location i went to or is it not seasoned? and everything was soggy idk maybe it was a bad day they also messed up my order and gave it to the car in front of me idk how that happened 😂
Live in Georgia and we have a few Chick fli A Dwarf Houses. Their menu is good across the board, fried pies are some kind of wonderful. A plus is that Chick fli A staff is at a different level, courteous and actually seem like they don't mind working there.
You are right on point Steve. We only have one Chik Fil A here in New York City. It's in Manhattan on 36th Street and 6th Avenue and the line stretches around the block. The chicken us great and the staff goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I highly recommend Chik Fil A
Church's Chicken is personally my favorite Chicken chain lol. When I lived in Phoenix we would always hit up Church's before we would go to the drive in theater.
I visited Yuma recently and they were great there too. Church's is like good old fashioned friend chicken in a good way. I didn't want any sides or drink, just the chicken. Price was right quality was fine.
KFC in Australia The CHICKEN (CAT) Falls apart, Also in the middle of it it is BLOOD RED and the coating is WET SOGGY GOO, I nearly DIED actually EVERY SINGLE FAST FOOD SHOP that ISN'T FISH AND CHIP SHOPS after eating I am in so much stomach/Intestinal agony afterwards I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pity you missed a great regional favorite: Publix Supermarkets makes fantastic fried chicken and chicken fingers. I mean if you're going to put in the list gas station chicken, how did you miss Publix? Oh, and their subs put all the other guys on the trailer.
Albertson's (the grocery store) used to make great fried chicken. Meaty pieces and good seasoning (maybe a little salty for some but not me). And not greasy, which isn't easy to say about fried chicken. Not many stores left near me so I'm not sure how it is these days.
That's what they mean by inconsistent. Back in the 80's it was fire. Then it started being wayy too salty. Then it solved that problem. Now, its probably the last place i think of. Although the actual TASTE (the herbs and spices) cant be beat. Even by my favorite, Popeye.
I am so glad to have moved to the south where I can get Bojangle's chicken. Have never had a bad chicken experience from the ones in Chattanooga. Their biscuits are wonderful and the chicken is always flavorful and fresh. My only real gripe is white sausage gravy on the potatos.
Bojangles' chicken is pretty good, actually. But what I don't get about all these silly chicken chains is --- what on earth is the link between chicken and biscuits? Biscuits are usually dry and bland, and seem to me to be the very last thing I would want to eat with chicken. Chicken and yeast rolls sound good, but biscuits? I usually throw the biscuits away if they include them. They are very dry, boring and are worse than choking on a chicken bone.
I'm just so disappointed that more places don't offer chicken and dumplings. As a life long southerner it breaks my heart to travel the country and not find my beautiful dumplings anywhere but cracker barrel 😭😭 gotta admit I love that it gives me a reason to get cracker barrel multiple times a week lol
Hardee's use to have great fried chicken.... and then Carl's Jr bought them out and killed the product line. Too bad. When buying a bucket you got great sides including peach cobbler and a gallon of tea...
Im right there with ya. I had RC's in Phoenix a year ago while visiting family and it was awesome. In my opinion the chiken sandwich is much better than Popeye's or Chick-fil-a.
Bonchon makes the absolute best chicken wings. The double frying doesn’t make the wings greasy at all, but keeps the chicken moist and juicy with a perfectly crisp exterior. We always order extra because the wings are just as crispy and delicious the next day. They also make a kimchi coleslaw that’ll knock your socks off! I 100% recommend you try it if you get the chance, your only regret will be that you didn’t try them sooner 👍🏻👍🏻
I heard of two of them. It’s like pizzas available. Here we have Italian pizza and chain stores brands don’t do well at all. Some states have “pizza” with all kinds of junk on them.
One thing about Popeyes and Churches is you have to tell them you want spicy to get it,if you don't you get mild/regular and thru the drive thru remind them 3times at the menu board, when you pay then when they hand the food to you. Some Churches however when you ask for spicy they will tell you they don't have any right now and will take 20 minutes
Bon Chon sounds like something that you do after eating at KFC.. " I just ate KFC and I'm writing this comment from my bathroom while I'm taking a Bon Chon.. "
Chester’s on border of AZ and CA Is so delicious. I go there coming and going. Chicken fingers and broasted potatoes so good. Biscuits great. Senior discount. I so look forward to stopping and plan my drive around it!
The kfc in Cullman AL is unusually amazing for some reason because literally every other KFC I went to sucks except for the one in Cullman..which is weird. I think it may have to do with the fact they get the chicken locally as oppose to most KFCs getting their chicken just from anywhere the corporation provides.
Thanks to this video, I looked up and found out that Krispy Krunchy chicken and Bonchon are in my area! You bet I’ll be going to both sometime this week.
One that nobody know about and if you do please comment, is the chicken at Pizza Ranch. The nice part is the fact they are a pizza place means the chicken can be delivered just like the pizza. The only major flaw is sometimes the breading is overdone but this is very rare.
The gas station" chicken mentioned "Krispy Krunchy Chicken" really surprised me. Incredibly moist, a little spicy, bone-in chicken. However, "Dodge's Chicken" @ Dodge Store in beyond belief. My wife stops there at least 2-3 times a week to get a meal to bring home. The spicy chicken (especially the wings) are the BEST i've had - Ever. Corn on the cob, quartered baked then fried potato quarters, greens, baskets, the list goes on. It's incredible "gas station" food !
Symara White I’m SO glad someone else knew the place I was talking about and has tried it ! I had no idea they were on the west coast either. Great to know ! 👍
Wish you had mentioned the chicken pot pies at KFC. That's my favorite meal at this restaurant. I had this at KFC about a month ago and it was very good! I haven't had their other chicken meals for a few years but really enjoy the chicken pot pies.
When I was a child in the 60s KFC was our Friday treat. A few months ago I stopped and bought a couple of pieces. All this time later I still feel like gagging it was so bad. Either my taste buds have changed or KFC chicken has gone way downhill.
I agree as it, like a lot of fast food chains, are only out to sell products, rather than what is actually in them. Those boxes of frozen Banquet fried chicken are better than any of the fast food ones. I'd rather make my own. At least I know what goes into it. 🍗
Ditto...I was also a teenager in the 60s, lived in Kentucky, have the last name of Sanders and use to go to KFC a couple times each month. As I remember chicken like everything else tasted better back then, mainly because I believe better care was given to growing chickens and staff were better trained and took pride in their work. But if my memory was really good you'd think I'd remember where I put my dang car keys..oh well, life is still good.
You forgot Brown's Chicken. Their chicken is so good and their sides are spot on. They also offer sides many other places don't like fried livers, hearts, and gizzards. Also, as good as Popeye's is, their customer service has gone down hill since the virus hit. Our household has ordered them multiple times and was always missing something then we stopped after ordering a large meal for 4 with sides and everything and all we got was the chicken, no sides or buscuits. (this was a DD order and I'm sure it wasn't a botched delivery but a botched order from Popeyes)
Bit of a curve ball, McDonalds fried chicken in Thailand is incredibly good, having said that I have only tried it at about 1am after a lot of beer but its always seems superb
Jack - in - the - box used to have a fried chicken basket in the mid and late 60's. But I don't remember ever trying it . . . I was 11 or 12 years old and too poor to buy it, not that it was very expensive but I only had a dollar to spend. I think I got their tacos or a Jumbo Jack.
@@og-greenmachine8623 JIB was a Southwest US Phenom but my go to joint when I was a kid was a carry out only place called Pete's Fish & Chips in Mesa Arizona (JIB back then was carry out only too). Both had covered eating areas outside. For $1.00 you could get a 2 piece Fish plate with an "unhealthy" amount of soggy fries (they cut their own fresh potatoes) and you still had enough money left to buy a second plate of fries for 15 cents. A lot of food for $1.00 . . . not healthy but filling and believe it or not it's still there near the corner of Mesa Drive and Main Street. It has had some outside structural changes but it looks to me like the building its self is still the same structure. Friday night Mom would give me and my brother $1.00 each and off we'd go on a 7 mile round trip hike to Pete's. On rare occasions our bikes would be functioning (damn Bendix brakes) and we would peddle to Pete's and back.
@@rrnabors1 Yeah.... Chains really did a number. Here locally in Ca, we still have one more drive-in left. “PATIO BURGER”😍 $3.00 for your basic burger. My aunt told me stories of how my grandmother used to take them, after trips to my great grandfathers house. -Smart We covet it.
I never found it to be a problem anywhere I've gone. Here and also in Oklahoma, the chicken is tender and the breasts are huge. I'm surprised to hear that.
What's too high? What's too low? Let us know here how we did in our rankings.
Chick-fil-a Obv the best lol. (One like is one free meal at Chick-Fil-A)

You are not the only one, mate. Also, the rice is too few. The servers often reason this is because of pandemic blablabla... They just do not deliver consistent chicken. Imagine Gordon Ramsay coming there, what will he find and say.

Champs chix...nobody ever heard of that thing, not to champy is it???
I tried almost about every restaurant that are its gas stations champs chicken is not undercooked its crispy for me
mostly in truck stops i think
Part of my job is to fry and bake chicken - 8-piece, whole birds, and tenders. Not for anybody in the video, but for somebody you've heard of. The secret is to consume the chicken as soon as possible after it's prepared. All of it is pretty good right out of the fryer. All of it declines in quality the longer it sits in the warmer. Two hours is about it for hot fried chicken. similar results for baked.
After that, the most important thing is how well they take care of their frying oil. Some use the same oil for weeks at a time. It should be changed every few days. It should also be filtered after every couple big frys. Putting just a minimal mount of breading on the chicken really helps keep the oil clean(extra crispy chicken is the pits. Often lousy chicken disguised with too much breading.) Too much flour accelerates the degradation of the oil. Some say cotton seed or peanut oil is the best, but soybean oil makes good chicken as well. I don't know but I believe Chik-Fil-A has such a large market acceptance because they change their oil WAY more often than anybody else.
Chicken should always be fresh, never frozen. More consistent quality that way. The only exception being some cooked, then frozen wingettes are quite good reheated in the oven or fryer.
bon appetit..........
You sound very concerned about the quality of what you prepare 👍!
Thanks for the insight.
Wish I could eat your fried chicken, I agree with everything you said. You can tell it's old grease and even taste the fish they fried in the same grease.
Oil should be changed every day like good Korean restaurants do.
@@rodneyjhackenflash4865 Have any idea what that would cost?
For god sake I watched this before bed and now I am hungry
Me too😋
Eat your slippers
Apparently they’ll taste like champs chicken
Why are you seeking the Lord's consideration? Are you inviting Him to dinner?
Lol
I've been a huge fan of Popeye's Chicken for years now. I liked the fact that they had sides that many other chicken places didn't have - specifically, cajun rice and jambalaya. During, and after, the pandemic, the locations near me (Southern CA) dropped these two sides from their menus. I'm pretty sure this change is company-wide too. I'm still staying with them, but I really miss those two sides. I'm hoping Popeye's management will come to its senses and bring them back.
You do know Bojangles had the same sides... but when it comes to a Chicken Sandwich... no one does it better than Chick Fil A.... Sorry, I love Popeyes, but not the Sandwich, it is on the same par as Bojangles.... Good, but Zaxbys is better but no one beats Chick Fil A! Period Best tasting Chicken Sandwich of all time and I can't even make one that good myself!
Popeyes chicken 🐔 Good stuff
I agree with you on the Cajun Rice, the Jambalaya, The Sides and their normal Fried Chicken... just not the Sandwich, it's not that good! They Skimped on it! Just my thought!
@@dublindog8038 that was half the reason to go there in the first place... hate to hear this.
the chix is great but the sides are HORRIBLE !
Why do most of mashed videos feel like a different form of advertisement?
Because they are
Man I remember my first visit to USA on 1998 and trying KFC for the first time...that was some real good chicken. Sadly not the case nowadays.
KFC used to be OK, but now I usually refer to is as Kentucky Fried Cr*p...
Totally agree. Last bucket I had was about a year ago. Never again. Dry, overcooked, as well as some undercooked in the same fricken basket. No amount of breading or spices can cover that kind of crap.
You Got That Right ☹☹
It’s unfortunate that KFC’s quality went downhill after the Colonel passed. Grade of chicken is awful.
@@necroslair KFC is awesome
Everybody has their favorites, and mine is Church"s . It's been my favorite for many years. I've tried many others but THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!
Maybe I need to try it from where you're from because I'm from myrtle beach South Carolina. We had 1 that didnt last long. Was horrible, but the biscuits were amazing
Yea ours wasnt in a good location. Think if I tried a better kept up with churchs it would be better
Church’s is bomb. My absolute favourite is Popeyes but church’s is close second.. I’ve spent so much money on church’s chicken lmao
The Colonel would be turning in his grave if he heard go to KFC for the sides, not the chicken. Damn shame, you had one job. Chicken. Use to be really good. Was fun to watch. Great video
2:27 to 2:33
"Bitch please, I have worked at a KFC before and neither their mashed potatoes nor their biscuits are 100 percent real."
Evan If it isn’t 100% real I don’t care it taste good anyway
As a former cook of KFC, I humbly agree lol
It's freeze dried potatoes! It's still real just not fresh fresh!
I LOVE KFC IM AH 80S BABY 😋
I agree I never had a good experience at KFC. Potatoes tasted fake and chicken was dry.
Narrator: "don't be afraid of Champ's Chicken, just don't order from them"
After seeing this I'd like to visit Champs just to see how bad it is.

This video's title should've been: "We contacted a bunch of fast food joints to see which one is willing to pay more, to have their chicken on the top of our list!"
Because churches should never be ranked better than anybody 😭 champs shouldn’t even have made the list
Yep I think you're right..
@nexus169 Churches is WAY better than KFC. I think Churches is pretty good, and the video even said their chicken is "hit or miss" so it may just depend on which specific location/time you get it.
@@skeletankmcgraw7343 y'all probably never ate KFC in the caribbean.. specifically Trinidad to say Churches is better
What's the weather like on your planet?
CfA consistently ranks at the top in polls. They offer a superior product, and their staff is highly customer service oriented.
That's why they out sell other fast food places despite being closed Sundays, (the equivalent of 7+ weeks per year).
Chick-Filet is overpriced, period. Get a sandwich, fries and a drink and look at their tiny sandwich and small amount of fries. NOT a good value for money. Buy the same thing at Popeyes, and you’ll be filled up, with the sandwich being MUCH larger. Also, they generally dump fries on your tray or in the take-out bag. At Chick-Filet they carefully fill their tiny fry packages to make sure you don’t get too much. I am an ordinary consumer, not associated with Popeyes, but my advice, if you care at all about value for money, skip Chick-Filet.
I happen to enjoy the Church's near where I live. The flavor is definitely worth the money and I LOVE their Biscuits.
I can testify for them as well. They dont freeze their chicken. I know. I deliver it.
I agree. Then Publix.
Church's make good chicken. Used to go there alot in San Diego
I never had Church's, but where I live, there's quite a lot so I might try it.
If y'all have this chicken joint called PDQ, you should check it out! They're delicious and their tater tots are everything🤤🥴
Never heard of them must be somewhere else. I am in NC southeastern.
Even fast food varies by restaurant . The local KFC where I used to live was kind of bland. So if I was in a hurry the local supermarket deli was better; but if I drove to the one next town over that was really good!
Same with Arby,s. We have 2 in 5o mI. S . a nd one gives us more meat.
Sometimes it's just poor management
I went to pdq one day randomly i didnt even know it existed now they have a customer for life ... the customer service is top notch the chicken sandwiches are great and the milkshakes are delicious
Really...oh really
Church's motto: locate the chicken joints where the people love to eat the chicken.

I have to disagree with you regarding Church's Chicken. I LOVE the flavor and size of the Chicken you get. I also LOVE the jalapeño peppers they sell.
You Haven't Eaten At Church's In Petersburg Va.Not Good.
Yeah
Dunno why folks hate on Church’s.
Never had bad Fried Chicken there.
Although Popeyes is my favorite
@@cynthiabrown5994 I ate at a Church's in Puerto Rico and that was the best chicken I ever tasted.
If your lucky enough to live near a Publix supermarket, You must try their fried chicken or chicken tenders.. IMO best chicken ever.. The deli chicken subs are insane good also! :)
I can confirm that because my friend from Virginia (before they finally build it there) we pick up so fried chicken from publix and he said it's very fresh and hot I said yeah lol
I have a public just down the road and I can confirm. It’s absolutely delicious.
Can confirm as a Floridian Publix chicken is best chicken. Wether it’s tenders, fried chicken, or chicken tender sub. It’s delicious!!!
나도나도
Completely agree
I know you don't mention about chicken that is served at buffet restaurant, but I love the chicken at Golden Corral, whether it's fried or baked, the chicken is done just right,I have never had a bad piece of chicken ever!
When your starving with a pocket full of money but to lazy to go anywhere i hate those kind of days
I used to live in St. Louis, MO. And I went to a Church's Chicken. They had just opened and I was the 1st customer. So I expected to get some fresh chicken. It tasted disgusting. The breading was blackish. I asked them when was the last time they changed the oil. They said they change the oil once every other week. I have never been back.
If they had just opened and you were the first customer, why would the oil have been there for any substantial length of time? Why would you even ask in that case? Regardless, I haven't had Church's in many years, but I don't recall it being anything spectacular, or even really good.
We have Popeyes now. Very good.
I'm guessing Church's tastes best in Texas.
I know y’all didn’t just go off on my bro Church’s Chicken like that
Especially the got dam biscuits mmmhmhmhmhmhm its so good with the honey
Professor Multipurpose Church’s was really good in the 80s and after that Popeye’s owned them and they were still really good. Popeye’s sold them in 2004 and the quality has been going down ever since.
Best biscuits ever
I would kill for one of their biscuits right now
without a doubt, my favorite chicken.
Back in the 60's & 70's (I'm 72) KFC was consistently great, but now a days it is a matter of - "Roll the Dice and hope you win"
I live in a small town in Central Wisconsin and we do have a KFC but the best fried chicken is from the Deli Dept at out local Piggly Wiggly grocery store.
My experience with KFC as well.
Roll the dice...or go on to Popeye's.
KFC chicken best when they first open
My family had Churches today. It was awesome. Each order is cooked as ordered. It reminds me of my Mom's chicken.
I totally agree, the best!
Please Tell Me Where On Earth, That Is. Definitely Not In Petersburg Va.
I find it dry, not moist.
I love Church's but NOT where I live,,,worst chicken I've ever had,,,old and reheated
I love it. Chicken is great and the fries and gravy are excellent. The KFC chicken was greasy and fries not fresh.
THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN I'VE EVER EATEN IS ROY ROGERS FRIED CHICKEN. NEXT IS KFC..
I hadn't heard R.R's in decades..
That was my go to fried chicken in DC back in the day.
There's a couple of stand-alone restaraunts in NJ & at the rest stops along the NJ tpke.
@Nomad Vagabond i like arby's better.
They've been opening locations in Maryland the past few years thankfully
TBH, people hyped up the popeyes chicken sandwich wayyy too much. It was just a good chicken sandwich, that's all. but it was not that crazy at all. People just hopped on the bandwagon as usual.
Straight facts
Your crazy man. Popeye's chicken sandwhich was a holy grail sent from above.
It's fun to go around trying different chicken restaurants!
One side overlooked in the KFC segment: their Cole slaw. It's always been the very best around... anywhere!
If I owned a Chicken Restaurant, I would serve ButterMilk Fryed Chicken. I actually tenderized the Chicken in ButterMilk for 3 days, one time. Meat was starting to fall off the bone - even though the Chicken was Raw. The Chicken turned out EXCELLENT!
The Rolls Royce Trent that’s a lot of work though. You probably wouldn’t be running a fast food, it’ll be an intermediate diner for it to be worth it
Sounds awesome, buttermilk chicken.....yummy for my tummy!!!
Asian Octopus that’s not a lot of work. You just have to keep the cycle going and have the chicken ready three days in advance. Next day you do the same thing and so on and so forth.
@@gferdyg eh, would you do that, only to sell an entire family meal for $18.99? Or would you just do what every other chain store does and just sell bland chicken? I mean, people are hungry and they'll buy it anyway
Asian Octopus that mentality is what gives rise to mediocre establishments survival. However Publix supermarket fried chicken is very delicious and they aren’t expensive. Also this process isn’t expensive. Buttermilk is pretty cheap so it doesn’t cost the business that much. In fact, fried chicken needs some sort of dredge. All they need to do is have some sort of seasoned flour to dump the chicken in after and they’re all set.
Everytime I skip 10 seconds I always hear "chicken"
KFC used to be my favorite, when I was young, now it's the worst. I do get the sides there and get my chicken at popeyes!
Noob
But poopeyes does taste good tho
For me personally Popeyes is way too dry.
their fries are horrible
Maybe it’s because I live in Britain kfc is awesome here
Great reviewed of these chicken joint in a nutshell! I will only go the first thing the door opens in the morning! I will not go in the evening because these chicken had been sitting there especially KFC and Popeye's! 🤣🤔
The Publix grocery store has really good fried chicken at reasonable prices. You have to get there when it first comes out as you can choose your piece. Size varies as does the amount of crust. Krogers is ok if it's very fresh or cold and very marked down. It's an interesting flavor as a novelty.
Giant Eagle has good fried chicken.
17 dollars for their wings doesn’t sound reasonable to me
@@blefan16 your right.. the wings are a bad deal.
I miss working and eating at Raising Canes.

I'm really glad Popeye's tastes like chicken. If it tasted like a burger or fish I'd be plenty pissed off! Isn't it SUPPOSED to taste like chicken?
Really!
Live in Georgia and we have a few Chick fli A Dwarf Houses. Their menu is good across the board, fried pies are some kind of wonderful. A plus is that Chick fli A staff is at a different level, courteous and actually seem like they don't mind working there.
fr, chick fil a staff are always so nice
You are right on point Steve. We only have one Chik Fil A here in New York City. It's in Manhattan on 36th Street and 6th Avenue and the line stretches around the block. The chicken us great and the staff goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I highly recommend Chik Fil A
I remember when a location opened in Woodstock in the early 90s and had the little red door - as a transplant someone had to explain the door to me.

Wendy's used to have the best fried chicken but most people don't remember that. Roy Rogers also
Church's Chicken is personally my favorite Chicken chain lol. When I lived in Phoenix we would always hit up Church's before we would go to the drive in theater.
Churches also has super awesome biscuits.
Amen. The drive in by Scottsdale/McKellips
Heck Yeah. Every time I visited relatives in Phoenix I couldn't wait to go to the Church's at 75th & Indian School Rd. Pure heaven.
I visited Yuma recently and they were great there too. Church's is like good old fashioned friend chicken in a good way. I didn't want any sides or drink, just the chicken. Price was right quality was fine.
Popeye's service is horrendous where I live. We have 2 and I've had bad experiences at both.
If you want great service don’t go to fast food, lol

Albertson's (the grocery store) used to make great fried chicken. Meaty pieces and good seasoning (maybe a little salty for some but not me). And not greasy, which isn't easy to say about fried chicken. Not many stores left near me so I'm not sure how it is these days.
Okay but Popeyes chicken sandwich is my favorite to be honest😂
@Terry Melvin it is good
I used to bag on KFC a lot, but a couple months back I tried it again and to my surprise it was actually pretty good.
It sucked in the early mid 90s,,I need to try it again.
@@forfpartyforfparty6459 I was born in the mid 90's lol
That's what they mean by inconsistent.
Back in the 80's it was fire.
Then it started being wayy too salty.
Then it solved that problem.
Now, its probably the last place i think of.
Although the actual TASTE (the herbs and spices) cant be beat.
Even by my favorite, Popeye.
CHURCH'S chicken is the BEST❤❤
I am so glad to have moved to the south where I can get Bojangle's chicken. Have never had a bad chicken experience from the ones in Chattanooga. Their biscuits are wonderful and the chicken is always flavorful and fresh. My only real gripe is white sausage gravy on the potatos.
Bojangles, Popeye's and Chick fil A are my favorite.
I'll stick with Chick-fil-A.. At least, they have grilled chicken; not into fried food.
Bojangles' chicken is pretty good, actually. But what I don't get about all these silly chicken chains is --- what on earth is the link between chicken and biscuits? Biscuits are usually dry and bland, and seem to me to be the very last thing I would want to eat with chicken. Chicken and yeast rolls sound good, but biscuits? I usually throw the biscuits away if they include them. They are very dry, boring and are worse than choking on a chicken bone.

Bonchon makes the absolute best chicken wings. The double frying doesn’t make the wings greasy at all, but keeps the chicken moist and juicy with a perfectly crisp exterior.

Church's biscuits is the shit
Can't beat Church's when they have pieces of dark meat on sale for $1 a piece. Back in the day they used to sell two pieces of dark for one dollar!
They are not consistent. One day good. The next day not so good. I sticking with Popeye's.
Maryland Fried Chicken (fried Livers, Creamy Cole Slaw)!
One thing about Popeyes and Churches is you have to tell them you want spicy to get it,if you don't you get mild/regular and thru the drive thru remind them 3times at the menu board, when you pay then when they hand the food to you. Some Churches however when you ask for spicy they will tell you they don't have any right now and will take 20 minutes
Thats ok, Church's is awesome shit...yummy for the tummy....great chicken and biscuits!!!
Bon chon has the best wings, I always get straight spicy. They also have a sweet flavor that is good
Bon Chon sounds like something that you do after eating at KFC.. " I just ate KFC and I'm writing this comment from my bathroom while I'm taking a Bon Chon.. "
it's got some other amazing food as well, a good Korean chain restaurant.
If you’re in the Cincinnati area, try Butterbee’s, Tender Town, and The Hitching Post chicken.

The kfc in Cullman AL is unusually amazing for some reason because literally every other KFC I went to sucks except for the one in Cullman..which is weird. I think it may have to do with the fact they get the chicken locally as oppose to most KFCs getting their chicken just from anywhere the corporation provides.
Thanks to this video, I looked up and found out that Krispy Krunchy chicken and Bonchon are in my area! You bet I’ll be going to both sometime this week.
Krispy Krunchy is my go-to chicken spot. It's reasonably priced too, and available on Door Dash for delivery.
No Royal Farms?
Didn't see your comment until I wrote mine. Yes Royal Farms should be on the list. It's my favorite
RoFo should be in here but Bojangles and Popeyes are Titans compared to the mini RoFo!
RoFo for the win!
One that nobody know about and if you do please comment, is the chicken at Pizza Ranch. The nice part is the fact they are a pizza place means the chicken can be delivered just like the pizza. The only major flaw is sometimes the breading is overdone but this is very rare.
The gas station" chicken mentioned "Krispy Krunchy Chicken" really surprised me. Incredibly moist, a little spicy, bone-in chicken. However, "Dodge's Chicken" @ Dodge Store in beyond belief. My wife stops there at least 2-3 times a week to get a meal to bring home. The spicy chicken (especially the wings) are the BEST i've had - Ever. Corn on the cob, quartered baked then fried potato quarters, greens, baskets, the list goes on. It's incredible "gas station" food !
There's many in California. I'm in San Diego and omfg SO FREAKING GOOD!!

When I was a child in the 60s KFC was our Friday treat. A few months ago I stopped and bought a couple of pieces.
All this time later I still feel like gagging it was so bad. Either my taste buds have changed or KFC chicken has gone way downhill.
I agree as it, like a lot of fast food chains, are only out to sell products, rather than what is actually in them. Those boxes of frozen Banquet fried chicken are better than any of the fast food ones. I'd rather make my own. At least I know what goes into it. 🍗
Ditto...I was also a teenager in the 60s, lived in Kentucky, have the last name of Sanders and use to go to KFC a couple times each month. As I remember chicken like everything else tasted better back then, mainly because I believe better care was given to growing chickens and staff were better trained and took pride in their work. But if my memory was really good you'd think I'd remember where I put my dang car keys..oh well, life is still good.
@@chefbambu9382 On the same idea as when The Whopper was actually flame-broiled. The last micro-broiled one I bought was cold. 🍔
You forgot Brown's Chicken. Their chicken is so good and their sides are spot on. They also offer sides many other places don't like fried livers, hearts, and gizzards. Also, as good as Popeye's is, their customer service has gone down hill since the virus hit. Our household has ordered them multiple times and was always missing something then we stopped after ordering a large meal for 4 with sides and everything and all we got was the chicken, no sides or buscuits. (this was a DD order and I'm sure it wasn't a botched delivery but a botched order from Popeyes)

Bit of a curve ball, McDonalds fried chicken in Thailand is incredibly good, having said that I have only tried it at about 1am after a lot of beer but its always seems superb
Jack - in - the - box used to have a fried chicken basket in the mid and late 60's. But I don't remember ever trying it . . . I was 11 or 12 years old and too poor to buy it, not that it was very expensive but I only had a dollar to spend. I think I got their tacos or a Jumbo Jack.
It’s not “chicken”.
So...

Yeah
JIB “raised” us.
Always love Jack in the Box.
Part of our youth🇺🇸
@@og-greenmachine8623 JIB was a Southwest US Phenom but my go to joint when I was a kid was a carry out only place called Pete's Fish & Chips in Mesa Arizona (JIB back then was carry out only too). Both had covered eating areas outside. For $1.00 you could get a 2 piece Fish plate with an "unhealthy" amount of soggy fries (they cut their own fresh potatoes) and you still had enough money left to buy a second plate of fries for 15 cents. A lot of food for $1.00 . . . not healthy but filling and believe it or not it's still there near the corner of Mesa Drive and Main Street. It has had some outside structural changes but it looks to me like the building its self is still the same structure. Friday night Mom would give me and my brother $1.00 each and off we'd go on a 7 mile round trip hike to Pete's. On rare occasions our bikes would be functioning (damn Bendix brakes) and we would peddle to Pete's and back.

Here locally in Ca,

“PATIO BURGER”😍
$3.00 for your basic burger.
My aunt told me stories
of how my grandmother used to take them,
after trips to my great grandfathers house.

We covet it.
Popeye's here in Englewood Ohio serves the teeniest tiniest chicken pieces anywhere. I guess they get their chicken from a midget chicken supplier.
I never found it to be a problem anywhere I've gone. Here and also in Oklahoma, the chicken is tender and the breasts are huge. I'm surprised to hear that.
They call it "poulet a la petit"
Midget is an offensive word
They serve pigeons
