We tried the regional fried chicken chain many people say is the best in America to see if it lives up to the hype

A regional chicken and biscuit chain is ready to become a household name outside the Carolinas.

Bojangles', a chain founded in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina, has grown to over 700 locations, stretching from Pennsylvania to Alabama.

And earlier this month, news broke that Bojangles's is eyeing Delaware as fertile ground for further expansion in the Mid-Atlantic.

Most people north of the Mason-Dixon and west of the Mississippi have never heard of the Southern chain; however, loyal fans swear by their chicken and "Bo-Berry" biscuits.

In our quest to find the best fried chicken chain in America, we visited a Bojangles' in Charlottesville, Virginia, hungry for the truth.
