All in all, if you want excellent fried chicken, your best bet is Popeyes or Church's. If you're willing to sacrifice a true, on-the-bone experience, Chick-fil-A's strips are your best bet. But don't bother with KFC.
This is why Popeyes chicken, with the spicy version accompanied by their Cajun rice, is my most favorite guilty pleasure. However, I do think that they used to be "spicier" a while back, and the spicy version seems to have been toned down a bit now.
Still, it's my #1 most favorite chicken from a chain restaurant.
