This is a classic option that will leave you wanting more.

3. Popeyes

[{"selector":"#anim-822dbc95-ac3b-42a5-9eea-5b20c46bb6aa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ece7f203-effd-4ffb-aecd-13c63c0a8e31","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(644.64301%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fcbfec5e-1483-4424-aabd-06502772e90a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-542e98ca-a4a8-485b-adb1-90e6da7d605f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] On any given day, this might be the best fast-food fried chicken out there. The only reservation was that maybe the battered coating was almost too thick in some spots, and for that reason Popeyes didn't land the top slot on our list.
