The simple and most basic fact about my experiences with your 1, 2 and 6 options are that when you get a properly and freshly cooked batch that hasn't been sitting around (and good luck ever timing this), the chicken is pretty good. That said, I've only had really good Churches a couple of times (out of maybe 10 lifetime visits), and slightly better percentage results for the others.

The closest Churches is now an empty building on a lot, up for proposed destruction and sale. This is clearly my fault, as I spent at least $20, but likely less than $30, in all the years it was available for my fried chicken (dis)pleasure. The closest Popeye's seems to be a busy place, and that block hasn't had a shooting or stabbing in at least a year that I know of.

The formerly closest KFC closed (and 2 within several miles have closed). One used to be very close to my old office. Again, my fault.

People seem to be liking the Crispy Crunchy, and I see it available from someplace in the area on Uber Eats. I should try it. Again, I expect that if it comes from a fresh batch, it will be pretty good. If it is heat lamp jerky, not so much.
