We wanted to compare KFC vs Bojangles vs Popeyes today and we did just that.
We ordered two $5 Fill Ups (Drumsticks and Thighs). One was Original Recipe and the other was Extra Crispy. One had mash potatoes & gravy and the other had potato wedges.
Joy preferred the original recipe due to it being seasoned better, but she noted it was slightly salty. I preferred the extra crispy slightly over the original recipe because the original recipe didn't have any crispiness in the bites that I took, but it was seasoned better. Since I normally dip the fried chicken into BBQ sauce, the crispy factor is important to me.
I liked the KFC chicken more than Bojangles, but Popeyes' spicy chicken was just slightly better than KFC. KFC's mash potatoes & gravy was way better than Popeyes, but just slightly better than Bojangles. KFC fries were better than Popeyes, but slightly worse than Bojangles.
After all this comparing today, I may have to start by getting the Spicy chicken at Popeyes, followed by the Bojangles seasoned fries, and end with the KFC mash potatoes & gravy and chocolate chip cookie! read more
