Compared to places like KFC, Popeye's is gourmet. I find the flavor at Popeye's pretty solid. You can still taste the chicken, which is moist and tastes great. I've always had reasonably crispy chicken too. At KFC, I often get breading that's sliding off the chicken, because it's so greasy. Church's chicken I find way too bland.
When it comes to fried chicken, I want it to be a bit fast-foody. I don't really like the fried chicken I get in fancier restaurants. Outside of fried chicken places I've had in the USA, Popeye's is pretty solid.
