El Pollo Loco opened restaruants here a couple of years ago, and I'd have to rate them as the best "fast food" chicken. I've been to most in the poll list. I think EPL is only located in six or so states. My wife generally doesn't like fast food, but it's a place that she actually likes to dine at.

The chicken is all fire-grilled, pretty lean, and the menu has a nice offering.

It's pretty hard to **** up a fried chicken sandwich, but if I am waving my magic wand and having one placed in front of me regardless of location, give me a Hattie B's.

So the new BK sandwich. Is it anywhere as good as the media blitz claims?
I had one yesterday. I thought it was pretty darn good, for a fast food chicken sandwich. But I don’t know if it’s worthy of tons of media hype. Just a good fried chicken sandwich.

Pizza ranch is not the best of anything, unless the list of places to get explosive diarrhea.
Tenders - Raising Cane's (Zaxby's is very good too)
Sandwich - Popeye's
Bone-in - I'm not sure if it's still good but, growing up, Tom Thumb in Fort Dodge had terrific broasted chicken.

Note: It's probably been 20 years since it was discontinued but Hardee's made really good fried chicken for a short period of time.

Germantown in NW IA is pretty spectacular for off the beaten path and along those lines Mt. Hamill used to be pretty awesome back in the day, but haven't been for several years.

I'm amazed at the number of people who think God's Chicken (CFA) is the best on that list. It's average, at best. Limited selection. Except for their salads it's just not good.

I also have to say the broasted "Iowa Hot" chicken from The Chicken in West Des Moines is pretty good.
