12. Mom's Touch
Known for marinating their chicken in Cajun spice blend for 24 hours, Mom’s Touch has garnered criticism for using “ridiculous amounts of sauce,” per a Redditor.
While Yelpers like that it's affordable, Mom’s Touch can't seem to compete with other chains. The only location currently remaining is in the City of Industry in California.
When it comes to Don Chicken, Yelp reviewers have complained about the chicken being “bland,” “not saucy enough,” and “chewy, rubbery,” leading to disappointment.
92 Chicken double-fries their chicken, which results in a crispier texture, and offers various toppings and sauces. However, they have mixed reviews across locations.
While customers in Durham, North Carolina say it is some of the best fried chicken, a Yelp reviewer from the Garden Grove location called it “pricey” and “not that crunchy.”
bb.q, or "best of the best quality," Chicken is one of the fastest-growing Korean fried chicken chains in the U.S. — according to forum members of Food Talk Central.
However, the franchises are loosely governed so the "... experience may vary vastly from location to location." Per a Yelp review, the honey garlic flavor is a safe choice, though.
Stylishly decorated to feel more like a restaurant rather than a fast-casual chain in some locations, Kuku Korean Cuisine also serves other Korean dishes.
As for the reviews, a Yelper notes, "The fried chicken almost has no breading, but is still crispy." However, another reviewer said, "The fried chicken was divine."
