Another vote for Lee's. Although Boston Market (nee Boston Chicken) is pretty decent, too, and can result in a reasonably healthy meal if you skip the potatoes and corn and stuffing in favor of vegetables.

I voted for other/local chain.

Crown Fried Chicken Crown Fried Chicken : Halal Fast Food in Philadelphia & New York is incredible.
Crown has established themselves for years in predominantly black neighborhoods.

Sadly there is not a location in the Lehigh Valley of eastern PA.

When driving down to Reading I stop and have some on occasion.

The taste is absolutely incredible.

If I could vote for another chain as well I would vote for Popeye's then KFC.

I knew that KFC would get a good number of votes, but I have to say that I don't understand that. I find it to be one of the worst places of all, yuck.

Chik-fil-A is the best tasting chicken I have ever eaten. It is so moist and juicy. I wish they would start serving boxes of chicken (like KFC or Bojangles) in addition to their sandwiches.

I like the rotisserie chicken at Costco and the local grocery stores. I have never seen a Chick-fil-A in my city---and even if there was one, I'm pretty sure I'd never eat there.

Pollo Campero is a new favorite of mine. It has such a unique flavor to it, and I love the fried yuca with sauce.
I really like all the various Spanish chicken places. Though the smaller ones tend to be a little better.

As to church's being unhealthy? That's why it tastes so good lolol.

El Pollo chicken is ok, nothing great but not that bad. I don't see what people see in Chick Fil A. I just don't get it. Its also very expensive. I have tried it 3 times now and I get the smallest meals not the combo. A entrée chicken sandwich,(which is a smaller sandwich) a little side salad and that little brownie. The meal came to almost $10. It seemed like a lot for basically nothing. I've tried the combo and the same thing either it hits $10 or goes over. The food is not all that great either. Those frys are terrible. I am definitely bypassing Chick Fil A permanently.

Yeah, Boston Market is good, but I seem to get migraines after I eat there, so I've pretty well quit it. We generally get either supermarket chicken or rotisserie from Costco.

I guess it's not for everyone. CFA's real claim to fame is their chicken sandwiches and their dipping sauces. I just love the sweet and nutty flavor their chicken has. The fries are pretty good when fresh, but still pretty average. That I can remember, there's nothing special about anything else on their menu.
