+1 to Publix and Popeyes/Bojangles

Having a Popeyes right in front of a Publix is just a terrible dilemma :p
Another surprise was Hardee's fried Chicken, at least the one in South Brevard on Babcock.

I have always wanted to try this place... heard great things.

Just have not been to Savannah in years.

I was in Publix the other day, I didn't buy the chicken but you could smell it cooking through half the store and it did smell good!

Seaboat in Champaign, IL. Takes forever (they only begin making it when you order) but it is delicious and juicy. For a chain place, I love Popeyes, but we don't have one around here :(

Shin Toe Bul Gi, Sunset District, San Franciso. They have the most delicious Korean fried chicken, any fried chicken for that matter, I've had.

This.

Also Lamar's in CHA was some great late night food in a unique 60's style smoky lounge atmosphere.

I don't know anyone who has actually eaten at that particular Hardee's. I also didn't know that Hardee's serves fried chicken. It's actually good?

As for the Publix/Popeyes dilemma, that's an easy one for me. Since that's not my closest Publix, when I'm in that part of town and hungry, Popeyes wins. After all, I can (and do) get Publix chicken much more often closer to home and work.

I'm a fan of the Korean fried chicken places in NYC as well.

Both those are great and if you're in NYC Lowcountry is very good along with some great sides like Jalapeno Bacon Mac & Cheese. Also Georgia Brown's in DC with their Fried Green Tomatoes.

I grew up in Savannah and Lady and Son's does have some of, if not THE best fried chicken I have ever had... The restaurant itself is a busy tourist trap, but the food is amazing, just not sure if I'd wait 2+ hours in the 100 degree heat outside in line just to get in...

The way to go is to get it catered :)
