Bojangles Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits

You can’t visit the Carolinas without visiting Bojangles.
Fried chicken, delicious chicken biscuits and Southern-​style sides. I generally get the dirty rice, the mashed potatoes, and the macaroni and cheese. Oh, and unlimited sweet tea. This is a fast food chain, so I’m not really looking for local, fresh ingredients with gourmet flavors; it’s just comfort food.
Normally, I don’t wake up for breakfast even in my own home, but I woke up bright and early one morning when I was visiting Durham to have my cajun chicken filet biscuit, and it was totally worth it. Enough said. It’s Bo time.

Not a huge biscuit fan so I can’t review that but man, they grilled chicken sandwich hits the spot.
FREE UNLIMITED SWEET TEA
MAKES ME HAPPY

The chicken is decent. The vinegar-​based coleslaw is disgusting.
But the buttah milk biscuits… Oh man… They got all kinds of flavah… All kinds.
And yes, that was a nod towards TheHodgeTwins on YouTube for those of you that watch. :)
In all seriousness though, check out Bojangles for the biscuits and sweet tea. You won’t be disappointed.

Bojangles is great. If you haven’t tried it yet you definitely need to soon. This Bojangles location is also great because it’s open later than most others I’m used to. Most Bojangles close at 9pm but I’ve been to this location as late at 11pm. I don’t particularly prefer their fried chicken or mashed potatoes but I love their breakfast menu. There is always a long line inside and at the drive through every morning at any Bojangles location. Bojangles is also great about having items on special for a few weeks. They do things like chicken supreme dinner for $ 5 or two country ham biscuits for $ 3. It varies by location but I’ve seen it done at very location I’ve been to. They also serve bo rounds all day. If you order them after regular breakfast hours you have to wait for 5 minutes but it’s worth it!

After many years of being away, I was back in the Carolinas for a long weekend. A big group of friends and I went out seeking Southern staples, and Bojangles is one of them!
The fried chicken was spot on, with a hint of heat cooked right into the crispy skin. The meat was really juicy and tender. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery. The fries were hearty and delicious. Can’t get any better.
The service was friendly and enthusiastic. The manager helped us out as well to accommodate our large order and even helped us bag up leftovers.

Have you had them yet? Chicken biscuits, fried chicken and sweet tea. The other stuff is fine but it’s hard to beat these three anywhere else.

Bojangles is a NC staple! Great for hangovers and fast comfort. Love the sweet tea. Here is a real piece of inside information, ask for your biscuits «dark brown». It’s not a special hassle that is going to piss of the staff, there is a button on the register for it. I learned about it form a close friends grandmother. You will get a slightly thinner, more golden brown, biscuit. In my opinion it is much better than the doughy biscuit you may get otherwise.

Can’t beat the 4 piece supreme dinner (they usually give you 5), fries with extra seasoning, and an extra biscuit (save the best for last). Tragic that they haven’t expanded up north.

You must be stupid if you aint eatin’ at Bo jang-​jangs fool. They got the best fried finger lickin fried chicken you’ll ever! They got those hot warm biscuits and mashed patotoes and gravy. Ainet got no time to be eaten anywhere else!

It’s Bojangles– what else can I say? Great biscuits, killer iced tea, and their Cajun chicken anything is great. I usually get their Cajun chicken biscuit, or for lunch, the sandwich. I also get their iced tea and hashbrowns. Hashbrowns are good, but a bit greasier than I like. So dock a star for killing my heart with hashbrowns. Otherwise great for breakfast or lunch. Dinner– well I’ve never tried it for dinner, but I’m sure it would be fine.

Ok, so I thought I had ruled out pretty much all fast-​food chain junk-​food in my life, and then I met Bojangles. This place will give you diarrhea straight up, but it will somehow be worth it.
People swear by their ‘famous fried chicken’ but I’m actually a fan of their bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The egg on this thing is somehow juicy, fresh, gooey, and doesn’t taste anything like the foam egg you find at neighboring McDonald’s. If you want to try something sweet, try their Bo’Berry Biscuit which no, does not have anything resembling a blueberry in it, (those blue dots are made of some very unnatural goodness) but it has the perfect ratio of crunch on the outside and chewiness on the inside. Drizzled with vanilla frosting, this is a biscuit like no other.
Luckily I no longer live in NC, so I make sure to limit myself to this diet only once or twice a year, but when I do, it is a luscious indulgence.
*TIP* say you want to wait for a fresh batch of biscuits, at least for the bo’berry biscuits, and you will get a much hotter, crispier result.

I haven’t noticed a huge difference between any of the Bojangles in Durham but look– this is a simple formula. You take some chicken, bread it and deep fry it and knock it back. Done deal.
I mostly stick to the Chicken Biscuit and it seems just as good to me as any other place around, though I haven’t tried any of these gourmet places. It is better than Chick-​Fil-​A (the biscuits, NOT the sandwich), Hardees and probably as good as Sunrise.
The tea is too sweet, of course, but the fries are good and dirty and long live the Bo.
