I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Popeye's biscuits. The chicken might be greasy, but they make the best damned biscuit in the world. I could sit in Popeye's all day with a slab of butter, eating their biscuits.

One of the reasons I voted for Bojangles is because of the attention paid to serving good biscuits (and other sides), which only makes the whole experience even better. I've never gotten a hard, overcooked biscuit at Bojangles. To be fair, I've never gotten a bad biscuit at Popeye's, either, but they're smaller than those Bojangles serves and leave me wanting more.
At the KFC's near me however, I am surprised if the biscuit isn't hard, somewhat brown/overcooked, and lacking the flavor of other chains. It's considered heresy in the south to serve hard biscuits.

There's a Bojangles in my town. I've tried it 3 times. The biscuits are consistently what my mother called hockey pucks. I've gotten better at McDonalds.
When I could eat fried chicken, my choices were (not in any order):
Popeyes (only in Louisiana. Anywhere outside of LA was a greasy mess and not at all as spicy)
Bojangles
Church’s (they were good but I always thought the pieces were unusually large. If I remember correctly, back in Nola about 30+ years ago rats were found in the kitchen. It was always this running joke in my family that that chicken leg maybe be a rat it’s so big. I was a kid so I remember very little about the story. It took them a while to recover from that but they did recover.)
There’s a local joint here called Price’s that’s pretty good. I’ve only gone twice but every time I’ve gone, the line was out the door. There isn’t seating; you pick a number, place your order then wait.
I liked KFC's multi option take-home bucket of chicken. The biscuits weren't too bad but I like the biscuits from Red Lobster better and the cornbread with ribs at Glory Days.
Chick filet chicken is ok when up for having a sandwich.

That might help, but each time I got one of the biscuit sandwiches. Just awful. Based on the 3 strikes you're out theory, I'm done with Bojangles. I've heard plenty of complaints about their chicken, too, but never tried it.
