5 Chefs Pick Popeyes Best Fast-Food Fried Chicken and Biscuits

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 8

Five professional chefs in an Allrecipes comparison overwhelmingly chose Popeyes as the top fast-food chain for both fried chicken and biscuits.
Popeyes won on crisp, craggy breading, bold seasoning, low greasiness and biscuits the chefs described as rich, flaky and tender rather than dry.
Bojangles and KFC received honorable mentions, with one chef saying Bojangles' chicken came close but Popeyes' biscuits made it the all-around winner.
Popeyes says it marinates chicken for at least 12 hours in Louisiana seasonings before hand-battering and frying it, a process that aligns with the chefs' praise for flavor and texture.
Online commenters were more divided on the biscuits, with some praising them hot and others favoring Church's Texas Chicken or saying Popeyes biscuits turn hard when cold.
