Several outlets have reported on the best fried chicken options at chain restaurants, with some focusing on cutlets, boneless wings, or fried chicken sandwiches. There appears to be some variation in the specific types of fried chicken being evaluated, with some outlets also considering bone-in fried chicken or chicken tender baskets. The reports seem to be comparing the quality of fried chicken at various chain restaurants, but the exact criteria and rankings are not consistent across the different outlets.
