Royal Farms in MD and VA have the best “gas station chicken” I have ever come across. Try to grab some each time I travel through the area. I would take it over Popeye’s or Bojangle’s anytime.

You are correct. Royal Farms has the best fried chicken! Popeye's is next best in this zone.

I, personally, would rank Bojangle’s chicken over Popeye’s. But then again, Bojangles is more “inside” the South. Not a fan of Popeye’s. Every time I have tried Popeye’s it has been way too crispy, more batter than chicken.
