It’s so sad that some souls have never experienced the greatness that is Bojangles!
ikr
Fr it’s the bomb I love it
They make some damn good egg and cheese biscuits
Its really good especially the biscuits in bojangles here in NC
If it’s not from North Carolina it’s just not the same. Being from Greensboro, North Carolina I really am blessed and lucky to have such an amazing fast food chain. It’s better than both Popeyes and KFC in my opinion
My sister moved from North Carolina to Oklahoma. Every time she comes to North Carolina to visit first thing she does is get her Bojangles fix. The sweet tea is amazing too
Yeah, i'm sad that theirs a Chicken shortage here in raleigh, NC. I just crave on it so much. And your right about the sweet tea.
I havent had Bonangles in 10 years. Damn, i miss it so bad. Everything about it was delicious. Not just the chicken but the Dirty Rice and Chicken Sandwhiches (with some jelly inside) are just some of the best.
They really need to spread this restaurant all around the world. Would do really well.
It's because it tastes good

Absolute Meme God stfu... Don't question the true God
ChickenBoy YT but I'm the absolute meme god

Like you
Everytime I have to travel for work, which is a lot. I get excited when I have a layover in Charlotte solely for the Bojangles. My God their steak biscuit is the most underrated item hands down. If not that, the 4 piece supreme with fries with extra seasoning (you can ask for extra seasoning on your fries!) and bbq sauce is absolute fast food perfection.
Cajun fillet biscuit and fries cant go wrong
Reaper it ain't Cajun at all. Stop lying
I work there. Its the only way you can go.
Ziggy it is
@@ziggystarbucks4542 , It's a "Cajun concept." Like in New York, when some dumb ass restaurateur opens a "Southern concept" restaurant.
@King Savage I work at Bojangles'. The fresh never frozen only really applies to the chicken cuts. The supremes, cajun filets, roasted bites, buffalo wings, &c. is all frozen then deep fried(oven roasted in the case of the roasted bites). Hell even the cinnamon twists are frozen. Biscuits are taken pretty seriously in the kitchen here. "Master Biscuit Maker" is treated almost like a billet, with MBMs able to direct other kitchen crew in wrappijg biscuits/sandwiches, dropping chicken, making biscuits, &c. I've worked in dining room cleaning trays and whatnot and I also know people personally who do this, and a lot of biscuits are thrown away. Something I find ironic considering how seriously making biscuits is taken here. Also Boberry Biscuits use weird blueberry flavored pellets not actual blueberries. I have never ordered a Boberry after knowing this lol
Love their fried chicken and borounds 🤤
Bojangles is the best fried chicken in the south. A close second is the Publix deli fried chicken. Either way you can't go wrong!
Noreen's Kitchen if there’s one near you, try Church’s. Publix is 2nd best then Bojangles. I do like bojangles though.
Publix has fantastic chicken. Whenever I'm craving chicken it's either/or, and occasionally KFC's georgia gold. Not that I get fried chicken often.
Hmmm maybe there is something wrong with my Publix then ‘cause I’m always plucking lingering feathers from my publix fried chicken
The best chicken in the south come from corner stores in the hood

There is something definitely wrong with your Publix deli...you shouldn't have to deal with that. Say something...they will speak with the employees. I used to work at a Publix deli.
never been to one! i just learned about them a year or two ago. i really can't wait to try them!
Have you tried it yet?
Two new ones opened up near me and there was a lot of hype about it at first. I bought a meal there, ate half of it and threw the rest in the garbage. Everyone else must have had the same experience because their parking lots are always empty.
Bojangles is the thing I look forward to most when I go back home to North Carolina. Cajun chicken biscuit and Bo-rounds with a large cheerwine!
The Kirby T those no rounds are so good it sucks that you only get four.
I know, right! I ended up getting a picnic sized one once, and it changed my life. It's the little bit of onion that makes them THE BEST fast food hashbrowns.
Something must have been lost in translation because the Bojangles near me was horrible when I went there.
Not every restaurant is going to be great, but most that I've been to are good.
The Kirby T After my experience, I'd settle for mediocre or even blah, but this place took it to a whole new level of bad for any restaurant.
Born and raised in North Carolina. I have a Bojangles that is 3 minutes away from my house. Two minutes if I don't get a red light. ;)
Bojangles is also everywhere down in Roatan, Honduras.
did I say it was in california?
Interesting
I find that interesting, too.
I live in South Georgia and I prefer it over any other chicken place near me. Mainly due to the biscuits and prices. Like, the cost of a huge family meal (I forgot the name but it was a 20 piece chicken and biscuits, 3 sides, and a 1/2 gallon of sweet tea) was like $38. Which is a deal considering KFC charges $35 for like 12 pieces of chicken...
The future "costs" of Bojangles family meals will be way more than $38. You gotta' include your future health care bills in that estimate.
About to go back to NC this fall after 3 years away. First meal off the plane is gonna be Bojangles!
Born and raised in North Carolina this was the best chicken i have ever had and it still is to this day.
We West Coasters only have Popeye's & Chick-fil-a. 1st time I ate Bojangles was in Nashville & it was amazing.
I didn’t care for chicken or biscuits, never got the hype. And then I had bojangle’s and I suddenly understood.
Nothing like finishing a leg and thigh meal with a biscuit and honey. I love Bojangles.
I'm a sausage and biscuits junkie because of this place me and my Dad would get breakfast there before he took me to school! But they are not in Texas anymore that was back in the 80s
I am from Kentucky and I can tell you Bojangles is 100% better than KFC.
rocketman06 Kentucky isn't the south so that's not important anyway
ziggy starbucks I think you need to check up on your American history en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_United_States
@@rocketman0634, Kentucky is "quasi-South"
Agreed
ziggy starbucks you know that a lot of people including myself consider Virginia to be a southern state?
LMAO, I'm sorry but when that guy started rapping @0:21 I almost choked on my drink and I nearly died laughing! How did he not know that particular acronym also has a very...umm "different" meaning. That coupled with the line he used it in, "it makes me feel good in the tummy", well let's just say I'd loved to see the marketing exes' faces when they are told exactly what they just had that guy say on their commercial...
Talk about an epic fail! Man, I love little moments like this, a seemingly completely innocent and innocuous commercial jingle, that has a WHOLE different & completely unintended meaning when you actually take the time to listen to the lines. It fails like this that make me smile, because not only are funny but you know it was only possible because either the person reviewing it was super naive, or knew and didn't think anyone would know or care.
The bojangles at 18 seconds is in front of William Brice stadium. Home of the South Carolina Gamecocks!!!
During the Irma evac I stumbled in a town in Georgia and saw a Bojangles. I saw other fast foods but this place stood out. I was kind of not in the mood for fried foods at the time but i have not had there food since I was little. When I tasted that chicken omg! The dirty rice omg!
I never had it do not have one here in Shreveport Louisiana but we do love southern classic
That 4 piece supremes combo with fries and a cheer wine can I get an amen !! 🙏
I fell in love with Bojangles when I lived in Alabama. Please open up some in the west coast.
I remember Bojangles back when I lived in Jacksonville Florida 90’s I miss. I was told they have one in the Poconos
And the BoBerry biscuits. Sooooo good!
Loved Bojangles back in the day. Those biscuits. We need one here in LA
I tried bojangles in mobile Alabama. Loved the option to toss tendies in wing sauce. Eat quick though, it gets soggy. I prefer canes chicken quality, but bojangles has a much bigger menu.
Bo berry biscuits go crazy.
I'm eating a porkchop w/ cheddar biscuit for Bo right now!
I swear if the people that rated the biscuits put Popeyes above Bojangles, I will literally personally go to their houses and do something that I won’t say on this app
( yes I’m from North Carolina )
I Live In Canada And We Visit Tennessee And Bojangles Is The Best Restaurant In The Whole Entire World
Staunton VA just got their first Bojangles, and our first Chik-fil-a is getting ready to open. I don't have to travel out of town for my favorite fried chicken and chicken sandwiches anymore!
Great little video.
A new one is being built in my town. So happy!!!
Ahh ... South Blvd in CLT. I remember my first time. Loved that Cajun fried chicken! For breakfast I always ask for the gravy biscuit with sausage and egg. But, I can't help myself so I ask for a leg or 2 to go with it. Wionderful!
I lived in east Baltimore in the early 80s. There were a few Bojangles around town. within 5 years or so they all shut down in the Baltimore area. Never knew why. It is not like the local population wasn't patronizing the restaurants. I loved all of their food especially the dirty rice.
Charlotte and NC represent! honestly the best thing, first thing I get when I get home
Miss bonangles. My long lost love. Now I habe to make a stop for it during my layover in Atlanta.
I am in Columbia, South Carolina. I am eating a breast dinner with one biscuit, coleslaw and cajun pinto beans. This is my go to treat when I need it. Once-weekly, perhaps. So good.
Checks Google to find nearest location: DAMn, 30 minutes away!????
Checks Google again after finding out it's a regional chain: DAMn, right down the road 😍
I live in South Carolina and I love bojangles
New one opened up 3 minutes from where I live and I love it!
I just heard about this Bojangles a wk ago and from my understanding they are opening several here in Texas in 2022.. Can't wait to see what the fuss is about..
WELL DANG,,, COME 2 HTOWN,,, WE'RE DOWN SOUTH
I love eater
Down here in ATL, I always pass a Bojangles. But I couldn't tell you the last time Ive eaten there. If I'm eating fried chicken I will always go to Gus's fried chicken in Sandy springs!
From North Carolina (although born in SC), and I now live in Montana. If I fly home through Atlanta, my butt must go to the airport Bojangles or else I get so hangry and upset. Flew through Chicago this past summer (never again), but made sure to take two Bojangles trips the one week I was down south with the family.
Got a Bojangles a block away from my house, my kitchen has cobwebs.
We need one in Miami
I’m from St. Louis, closest one is about 2.5 hours away, worth every penny spent in fuel
Being from Texas we tend to go with Chicken Express, which seems to be a very similar choice to Bojangles. Nothing like some gizzards and okra with sweet tea!
It taste so fucking good, fast mart chicken, Royal farms, bo's . the southern gas stations always got the good stuff
Bc you can never go wrong with Cajun fries
One of us, one of us, one of us.
Bojangles needs to expand to the west coast ! All we got is Popeyes , kfc , and raising canes 😭 no zaxby or bojangles 😢
Bojangles is definitely the best. Mine has an all you can eat buffet!
It’s a shame they haven’t opened in Texas yet!
To bad we don't have Bojangles in Texas. The closest one to my location is in Mobile, Alabama, which is almost 700 miles away from my house.
Need this in Pasco FL and spring Hill hwy 50
I agree with the statement that they need their taste buds checked. Bojangles is famous for their biscuits. What does a Washington D.C. person know about biscuits anyway?
Man havent been to the south in a year miss the bojangles.
Can’t get enough of that Bojangles chicken
Never tasted Bojangles and live in Georgia for 11 years and alive 11 years
There hasn't been a Bojangles in Memphis since i was a kid. That was like the 80's
There chicken is good, but it’s the biscuits that set it apart. Probably the best biscuits I’ve ever eaten
I either get the filet biscuit combo or i get the supreme tenders and buffalo them when i get home and dip them in ranch :)
I seen a bojangles in Atlanta I went nuts lol ... stoped and got a biscuit and chicken tender ♥️♥️♥️♥️
The sad thing is that in Bojangles’ new markets, there’s no bone-in chicken. 😟
Rip I’m live in North Carolina but I don’t have one in range):
It sucks living in NC when ur mom is from Boston and hates spicy food. Yesterday I just had bojangles for the first time in 3 years. :(
Your dad married a Yankee?
The ice tea slaps
Best Cajun fries, Bo Berry biscuits are great, biscuits to die for.
There are 49 steps for the Bojangles biscuits
The only thing that I liked about my year stay in a state I hated was: Bojangles Chicken. Big pieces of tasty chicken and biscuits that tasted as if they were marinated in butter.
As my two friends formerly from the South would say, (Blank) Chicken serves pieces that came from a bird the size of a pigeon.
Bojangles has the best tasting fried chicken, HANDS DOWN.
I first had bojangles in tennessee damn i fell in love along with the booberry biscuit
Closest location to me is Princeton, West Virginia.
BBCS ALWAYS SATISFY MY TUMMY
KFC is pressure-fried, so you lose a lot of juiciness once the chicken is out of the pressure. i've tasted freshly cooked KFC chicken, after 5 mins, the meat turns from just juicy to dry dry dry.
i really enjoy this easy food video format
I miss bojangles.
They need to put one here in Rancho Cucamonga
Had myself a Bo time once when I went to NC as a truck driver. I gotta admit their biscuits are the bomb. Not to mention their man thing the 🐔🐓😋
I saw these in North Carolina. I should of eaten there. Dang!!
I moved to Japan in 2015 and I never had better fried chicken ever since
0:24 "BBC always satisfies my hungry" I guess they dont go online all that often...
His tummy
Bojangles is absolutely the best, no contest
R.I.P. Texas Bojangles
I wish they had them in the north. Been to one while visiting NC and it changed my life 🤤
There only in top off south like North Carolina Virginia kentucky
@@jbythunter4132 I know. I live in NYC
HELP I'M STUCK WITH RAMEN NOODLES
I live within a couple of miles of (2) Bojangles. GREAT chicken (the best) but it's a little expensive if not on sale. But I'm a tightwad :)
They didn't even mention the sweet tea!!!
It's all about that seasoning.
Might be more. But, where I am located we have many KFC in the state. Possibly one Popeye's. And One Bojangles. Think i need to go and check out this food place some time.
no Bo in Arizona yet. I try to get a run to Bo everytime I'm out that way
I have a bojangles around 3 minutes from my place.
Lived im Memphis for 4.5 yrs as a kid, Jan '79- Aug '83. A Bojangle's opened a couple of miles from our house somewhere in that time. The chicken was very good, as well as the variety of biscuit sandwiches. Good spicy marinated flavor. I like Popeye's a lot too, which we do have here in Kalifornia. No Bojangle's yet☹. I think they would do well. Test them in LA and Sac, then expand. So at least i could go to the Sac one sometimes. I'm abt an hr away from Sac.
Hope you’ve managed to escape Commiefornia back to the safety of America and Bojangles by now
@@AdolfTrumpler not yet. Maybe in a year or so. Will probably go to NV. Thanks for the hopes😊
probably the best biscuts in america not even joking
They use to have more side items like green beans, collars, black eyed peas and stuff like that ...to bad they down sized there side items
