In the Pelham and Alabaster area? Used to like Bojangles but I think it closed down. Good chicken but lousy service. Zaxby's has been good at times and sucked at times. What say ye?

Publix. 😁

Jack's has had good chicken at times.

Jacks chicken fingers dipped in some gravy is hard to beat

Publix 8pc fried chicken is extremely good.

I still say the Church's in Selma. The #1 Church's by volume in the nation. They stay so busy it is always hot and fresh. Bad area but always good, fast and correct service. Our local Jack's has good chicken but they can never get an order right. I don't like thighs so I always order with no thighs but they hear, extra thighs for some reason. Good fingers though with the Comeback sauce. I can make a meal out of just legs so at KFC so I order the three piece all legs. Since that is one of the less popular pieces, they always put four or five legs in it. They are pretty good too.

It’s not a chain, but Irondale Cafe has the best fried chicken/pork chop/fried green tomatoes I’ve ever had. I can flat out hurt myself there, then cram in a piece of buttermilk pie. I wouldn’t be surprised if I passed out asleep on the interstate home.

Lee's in Jasper is good. Best baked beans anywhere

Jax Fl.

I thought Champys in Alabaster was good, but if its chain store, then Church's or Popeye's. If you want some really good smoked chicken, Margarita Grill on hwy 119 is awesome.

I don't get why everyone thinks Publix fried chicken is so good. It's not.

Don’t know those towns but the Chicken shack in Skinny’s hometown is tasty. They won best chicken in AL. Something about the seasoning and they fry it to perfection.

in the Pelham alabaster area it’s champys

Good to know that. The day after Thanksgiving a few years ago I bought a bucket from Popeyes in Selma. All 4 of us that ate it got deathly ill; enough so that we all avoided Popeyes everywhere and any chicken in Selma. I'll give Church's a try next time.

Not in that area, but Kickin Chickin in Eclectic is purty good.

Very good. And reasonably priced

Cracker Barrel has a very good fried chicken dinner.

Champys if you got one close by.

Pelham or Alabaster area:
Chain: Champy's then Popeyes
Non Chain: Golden Fish and Chicken on 31 in Alabaster (my personal choice)

Expand your search a little bit and you have some more choices:
Hoover: Shark's, Famous Fred's, Super Chix
280: Lloyd's (my personal choice)

I used to get publix all the time but last couple of times it was not very good. May have to give them another shot

Yes to kickin' chicken. They also have fabulous catfish. They do cook it when you order it.
