We have eaten fried chicken in probably 45 states including Paula Deen's in Georgia and feel that popeyes spicy chicken is the best we have found. Their side dishes are average at best and like other chains some are better than others. This one is about average and we usually just order chicken and maybe biscuits and take it home to eat with our own sides. We did this again yesterday (we usually go there about once a week) and ordered 2 spicy chicken breasts to go. It came with 2 biscuits. We have been known to go to KFC and order cole slaw to go and then go to McDonalds for 2 side salads and then popeyes for the chicken. We are not recommending that but it suits our taste. Their chicken is as good as we have had in any 4 star restaurant anywhere.
