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.

"As I got older" -- no, as IT got older. I still remember when KFC was made to order when you ordered it. Sure it meant a 20 minute (or more) wait, but it was worth it every time. 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. But they had to try and compete with fast food, and in the process destroyed everything that made so many of us love their food in the first place.

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. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

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.)

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 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).

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!

But while we were hanging out in the ICU in Gainesville, they built a Bojangles just down the street. Not gonna say that made everything better (no where near, in fact) but it did bring us comfort that at the end of a long day of stressing and grief crying, we had Bojangles back in the hotel room and that was the best comfort we could have had at the time.
