Fast Food Chicken Chains Ranked Worst To Best
Ойын-сауық

Of course, fast food fans will endlessly debate over which chicken joint is the best. When it comes to food, it's all about an individual's point of view, and a chicken recipe can be a joy to one person but feel like blasphemy to another.
Who does it best when it comes to chicken in the fast food world? Here's our ranking of fast food chicken chains, from worst to best.

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 run 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.
I was a cook at Bojangles. I think we were one of the good ones. I still love their food!

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.

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.

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.

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 👍🏻👍🏻

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)
Great show
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.

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! 🤣🤔
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..........

As many have already stated. Publix Supermarkets chicken is fantastic. And they also make better subs than I've had anywhere else.
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.

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).
There is a free standing Champs Chicken about 15 miles from where we live. My wife and I like their chicken. It is freshly cooked which adds to the wait time. Good slaw and potato salad. Also agree with others that Publix chicken tenders are hard to beat.
We had several mom and pop chains that reigned supreme in NW Indiana. And one still stands today Nelson's portapit blows all this out of the water.
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.

Their street BBQ Chicken which tastes nothing like the BBQ we have here, is my favorite...
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.

KKC in Los Angeles is crunchy and tasty, but it the quality varies by location. Churches was a good chicken joint, but they changed to Texas Churches Chicken, and now their chicken is bland. I found one location that still calls itself Churches and this chicken is still very crunchy and flavorful. My only dislike is the biscuits. I loved them before they added a honey coating to them. They were as,good,a,biscuit as KFCs. And they gave you a packet of honey if you like your biscuits with honey. I used to toss my leftover biscuit to birds and they ate them. But when I tried that,with the pre-coated honey biscuit, the birds would not eat them! So I don’t eat them. Also, I have at all parts of the chicken and the chicken sandwiches,at Jolibees. I have never been disappointed. They are the best I have tasted on your list.

Best rotisserie chicken was in San Diego. The old Mission Bay Market on Mission Blvd in PB/MB in the 80's-90's You had to call in to reserve one as they sold out daily, cost around $3.00 Great to have after a day at the beach
After trying most of these Chik Fil A is the only fast food I go to outside of Taco Bell to change things up. I learned to make good burgers so all fast food burgers are garbage now. Home made is great and honestly pretty easy. I need to start making chicken sandwiches at home. Frying is a lot of prep with the oil so hopefully an air frying gets the job done to make things quicker and less messy.

I still like Chester Chicken available at most 7-Eleven stores. The wings are the best I have ever had but it is unfortunate that it is not made to order so it is best purchased at around 11:00 am to 12 noon for freshness. They also offer a Toony Tuesdays deal (hear in Canada at most stores) and you can pick two pieces of either white or dark meat. The portions are a very decent size.

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.
