I live in LA Koreatown, so there is literally like 4 of these Korean fried chicken joints within a mile of me. 77 Kentucky and Prince are the closest. The Prince is pretty famous and also does old school Korean roasted style. 77 Kentucky has more variety.

Princes (the OG hot chicken)
McDougals
Hattie B's
Monell's
Those are the only ones I've tried that I'd put up there. Princes is godlike.

At funerals. Seriously, the best fried chicken I've ever had was at the funeral for one of my mom's old boyfriends. It was really weird to eat it because I was so sad but couldn't help thinking, "This chicken is so good."

There's a mexican friend chicken place in my city called Pollo Campero. They might be national (at least regional). Their fried chicken is the best I've ever had. The seasonings are miles beyond what I've ever had from normal American fried chicken and the breading is super thin and crispy.
Village Anchor gets touted a lot. But it's kinda hoity-toity to go for fried chicken IMO.
Joella's is a pretty great, but I'm a little worried about how quickly they are expanding to "regional chain" level. Started in Louisville but now there are spots in I think Lexington, Cincinatti and Indianapolis. I actually heard so,e pretty awful things about the Indy location. Oh well, the one in my neighborhood is still great. Royals had better cred before they dumped on the bone chicken in favor of all-tenders. F that.
Chicken King is a family favorite but is really out of our way.

Anyway, the best place by me (not in town), is a mom and pop Korean Fried Chicken Place called Peck Peck.

Have you tried Harold's?
As to the OP, if I am not making it at home, then whatever's convenient between Harold's, Popeyes and J&Js. KFC is only for when I have a coupon.

Posted for me. I've loved the Hot Chicken places since I moved here.

I was surprised, but a taste of their chicken blows the national chains out the water.
Laurel, MD btw. Midway between DC and Baltimore.
I've been to this place before. To be honest I thought it was garbage. Maybe because I still think of the location as the old KFC location where they had toonie tuesdays.

Fried chicken in the UK is generally very poor but the best in my city is The Chicken Run in Manchester. The place is basic and not in the nicest of areas but the quality is much better than appearances let on. Chicken split with a side of gravy is goood. It's also one of the better Caribbean places in Manchester but you aren't getting service with a smile though. Yard and Coop is ok, it is much better than the vast majority of what you can get from your standard UK chicken shops but is well overpriced for what it is.

Dirty Bird and Union Chicken in Toronto
Place always gives me the instashits
NYC has a couple great places..
Hill Country Fried Chicken - Nice classic Southern style fried chicken. Delicious pies also available for dessert
Momofuku - This is an incredible dining experience that combines southern and korean style fried chickens. You need at least 4 people to get a (hard to get) reservation for it. Worth trying one time

Yep, we have one here in Oxford. Which saves me from driving to Memphis for it like I used to have to.

There's a local place called Baby Al's Chicago Dogs that has some great fried chicken. The best I've had from a restaurant.

In Omaha there is a dive called Alpine Inn. They have the best fried chicken in the city by far. You get some bomb potato wedges and BBQ sauce. You also get a show and get to watch a bunch of Raccoons outside eating chicken scraps.

I'm sad the original location is shutting down and relocating. First time I ever went there, I saw a sweet little old church lady whack a homeless guy upside the head with her purse and throw him out.
Not my city but Bonchon Chicken in Philadelphia(china town) has this crazy good soy/garlic chicken wings/drum sticks. They double fry it and it the skin super crispy and crunchy(they dont use flour either so you can get away with eating a few if your on low carb). Its located in a really smelly street though but dont let it discourage you. And if you went to one in Jersey or NYC their Bonchon chicken is terrible in comparison. Its crazy too because this place has like 3 1/2 stars on yelp.

Hip Hop Chicken.
I don't know what they put on their stuff, it's probably just straight MSG, and it is delicious.
They also do fried chicken livers and they are great.

Campero's on the other side of the potomac, too. Used to go there when I lived in Woodbridge, and I know they have one in Herndon, too.
Edit: That said, the real prize around the DMV isn't Fried, it's the Peruvian chicken joints.

Raleigh? Nice. I had to be in town for work a year or so ago, ate at a couple of AC restaurants while I was there. Didn't get a chance to go to Beasley's, but I had lunch at Chuck's and breakfast at Joule's while I was there.
