Bojangles tenders and Long John Silver’s planks draw fresh praise

Several restaurant features spotlight standout chicken dishes, from fast-food tenders to a longtime neighborhood favorite. Bojangles’ tenders are praised for their seasoned, crisp coating and juicy meat, while Long John Silver’s Chicken Planks are said to have improved with a moister preparation and retain their distinctive light, tempura-style batter. In St. Louis, Porter’s Fried Chicken draws loyal customers with its no-frills counter service and regular or spicy fried chicken. In Dallas, Prego Pasta House is noted for serving well-regarded chicken fried steak despite its Italian menu.
