battle with Wingstop everybody won Wingstop has made a name for itself in the past few years the
chicken wing chain has steadily grown more popular to the point where people are now mentioning it in
the same breath as Buffalo Wild Wings another similar style chain Wingstop is a bit late to
the fast food chicken game as the first door didn't open until 1994 in Texas I'm from Texas

take their wings seriously fortunately for you Wingstop is still currently expanding across the
country so keep your eyes open one may end up opening close to you even though they're

ground in the end he prevailed and delivered some of the world's most sought after chicken please

Jollibee um actually I changed my mind I really want to go to the Jollibee even though most of
these chains were founded and currently operate in America fried chicken has actually been a
common meal eaten for hundreds of years around the world this next entry shows that there are
other places around the world that are in top contention for the world's best chicken
Jollibee is a Philippines based chain that was founded in 1978 by owner Tony tancock Young his
family owned a small ice cream parlor that he had bought a number of years before they tried
their hand at making the ice cream work but the family found that hot food always seemed to sell
better than ice cream would have thought of that as a result the group worked to turn their little
family-owned ice cream parlor into a fast food chicken chain they later founded Jollibee Food
Corporation and took their fast food Empire to the next level they have around 1500 locations
worldwide including Asia the middle east Europe and North America they serve home style breaded
chicken in buckets akin to the colonel but that's where the similarities end neck next time you're
looking for a food suggestion from out of left field try Jollibee it might be time to see their
take on a familiar classic it's about time Zaxby's hey you like Zaxby's of course I love Zaxby's if
any of these chains were going to be famous on the Merit of their sauce alone it would
be Zaxby's this is a relatively new chicken chain to the scene being founded in 1990 in
Athens Georgia this fast casual establishment is famous for churning out order after order
of chicken fingers Wings sandwiches and sides their claim to fame would have to be the Zack
sauce though founder Zach McElroy said that the famous sauce is based on another famous
establishment in Athens by the name of Guthrie's it's not clear what wisdom was imparted on these
Fried Chicken pilgrimages to Guthrie's but all these years later and we have this inspiration
to thank for the zingy and savory Zak sauce it's the best sauce I've ever tasted Zaxby's doesn't
have quite the same brand recognition or reach as some of the other franchises is but that doesn't
mean they aren't swinging for the fences Zaxby's offers something different from other fast food
restaurants thanks to their smaller reach and consumer base Zaxby's hasn't had to deal with the
headaches that come with global Renown as a result they deliver a product that feels like it's been
the same ever since the company's Inception you should definitely visit Zaxby's next time you're
looking for a comforting take on Fried Chicken Chick-fil-A watch your back Chick-fil-A say what
you want about the company's mission statement Chick-fil-A knows how to make a chicken sandwich
founded in 1946 by Samuel Truett Cassie this Powerhouse of a fried chicken establishment
has been raking in the fame garnered by their chicken sandwich there are options for nuggets
and grilled sandwiches as well and who can forget those signature waffle fries those crispy lattices
truly make for a one of a kind bite it wasn't long before the competition would try to take a shot
at the champ of chicken sandwiches but it almost seems like Chick-fil-A is brushed off these taunts
actually I'm the best they are a company that knows what they can deliver and they're content
with that you won't find a hundred different menu items clogging the screens at Chick-fil-A
and that's because what they do they do well it's the reason that they've been around for almost 80
years and it's the reason that they'll probably be around for 80 more Chick-fil-A is a comforting
staple that remains one of the most popular fast food chicken chains around and one bite of that
chicken sandwich will let you in on the secret as to why here's another unsolved mystery Popeyes
we're not talking about the cartoon sailor man here people we're talking about Popeye's
Louisiana Kitchen home to some of the best fried chicken anywhere Popeyes was founded
in 1972 and has been serving up Cajun varieties of everything you would expect from a southern
Sunday Fried Chicken Dinner red beans and rice cajun fries shrimp and of course biscuits are
all Usual Suspects on the menu these each have been jazzed up with a little Louisiana love in
the the form of Popeye's proprietary blend of spices and seasoning raisins and spice
these spices are more than enough to put some pep in your step while serving up a constant
supply of wings size and drumsticks from the Popeye's kitchen you can also get your hands
on popcorn shrimp tenders and sandwiches Popeyes is a chain that knows what its customers want be
it something sweet for dessert or just something affordable that doesn't skimp on taste these are
all factors that add up to Popeyes being one of the true Fried Chicken Titans Titans Go KFC I'm
KFC baby you don't mess with the Colonel's recipe if you're going to try to Dethrone a king you'd
better make sure that your game is Top Notch while many of the other contenders are each special in
their own way and bring something truly valuable to the fast food chicken space no one can match
the notoriety reach and popularity of Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1930 KFC was actually better
known by the name Sanders court and Cafe which was just a littlest establishment that Colonel Harland
Sanders ran along the roadside it was just a small shack that Sanders used to sell fried chicken out
of during the Great Depression it was during his time in the restaurant and service industry that
he realized the true potential of franchising and the reach that it could afford a business like
his own it took Colonel Sanders a few decades to hone his craft at his Kentucky restaurant but in
1952 the first officially franchised Kentucky Fried Chicken opened in Salt Lake City Utah
it was here that KFC would start its Conquest to fry chicken Fame everybody starts somewhere
the company exploded and started expanding rapidly this sudden burst of growth became too
much for an aged Sanders to handle so he sold the famous chain to a group of investors his name and
likeness is still used to sell chicken worldwide as Sanders influence on the name and brand was
just too great to deny it wasn't long after this sale of the company that investors took
KFC worldwide Kentucky Fried Chicken can be found in almost every single country in the world and
as a result business is booming in 2020 KFC raked in a whopping 27.9 billion dollars in Revenue talk
about a love for fried chicken as a result they're able to keep steady with competition without fear
of anyone forgetting their name anytime soon it's the most popular chicken franchise for
a reason and the Colonel's secret recipe is not something to be taken lightly we take it
