Upon our second round of tasting up against Bojangles’, Chick-fil-A dropped in our rankings to third place. Our tasters felt that Chick-fil-A and Bojangles were so close in taste we needed to do a final taste to see who really would come out on top. However, because the taste test had been split up into two days, we felt that Chick-fil-A had edged out the first day of competition because of “All the butter!” slathered on the golden biscuits. Initially, Chick-fil-A came out on top of as the winner of our taste test. Another taster said: “ liked the texture even though it wasn’t super fancy.” “It falls apart very easily, which is kind of annoying,” one taster said. This biscuit lacked flakiness and the texture of the biscuit was crumblier than we liked. One taster said: “Sweeter than most biscuits, but still savory due to the butter.” As for appearance, the exterior of the biscuits was pretty and lighter than the other biscuits we tried, but still had a nice golden color. They were moist, slightly dense, and sweet. We found the biscuits, which came buttered, to be too buttery, not surprisingly. The butter flavor overtook the biscuits. Our tasters tried biscuits from Chick-fil-A on the second day of tasting. “I want to like this biscuit more than I do,” A taster said. Another taster said: “It would be a good sandwich biscuit though.” As is the biscuit is lacking something for us to want to eat it on its own. “It begs for sausage or grape jelly,” one taster said. The overall impression of a Hardee’s biscuit is you can’t eat it alone. Our tasters thought it was a “nice looking top” for a biscuit. Even with the appearance of layers, the texture was more crumbly and gummy than flaky and as one taster pointed out: “It has an almost cakey interior.” The biscuit’s exterior was very dark and bubbly, not smooth. “It has good flavor, but nothing to write home about,” one taster said. The tasters came up with an almost flavorless profile that was bland, lacked butter and salt. With a few technical changes, it could be a pretty decent biscuit. There was nothing glaringly wrong with the biscuit. As is I don’t like it at all.” Overall our tasters agreed this biscuit was “acceptable, but lazy.”īefore the taste test, one taster claimed that Hardee’s had the best biscuits, but our ranking has them in fourth place for a few good reasons. One taster pointed out this biscuit could be better with the addition of a savory topping: “If this was ultra-fresh, it’d be good with gravy. The top of the biscuit looked bubbly and golden brown and the interior of the biscuit showed multiple layers, but “the center needs moisture,” a taster remarked. “It seems greasy on the top, so I wouldn’t order this,” a taster said. Artificial butter flavors came to mind when the tasters ate this biscuit and they were put off by a tough, greasy exterior.
“The dough tastes overworked,” another taster added. “Another too salty for me, but a pretty good-looking biscuit,” one taster commented.
We were hoping the flavor of the biscuit would match the appearance, but our tasters were left disappointed. It has great golden-brown coloring and is the perfect size, resembling a homemade biscuit. Yes, our process wasn’t perfect, but hey, we still believe every biscuit was tasted properly during the taste test. Our hope was to try all seven biscuits at once, but a scheduling mishap forced us to try five biscuits one day, followed by the other two on the next day. Straight from the oven wasn’t possible with this taste test, but to give the biscuits a fair chance we warmed them up in the oven right before the tasting began. Biscuits are best eaten when they are nice and warm right out of the oven. We wanted to see how these seven fast food biscuits stood up to our ideal biscuit - one that was flaky, flavorful, but not too salty or buttery with a moist, not gummy texture when you bite into it. A number of fast food chains have added biscuits to the menu to help you save time while still enjoying this Southern food.īut which fast food chain had the best biscuit? When choosing a biscuit from Bojangles’ or Popeye’s, which should you choose? Which biscuit had the best flavor and texture? We had to know the answers, so we did the tough work for you by tasting biscuits from a variety of fast food chains in the South Our testing process and criteria But let’s be honest: not everyone has time to make homemade biscuits. You don’t have to be a biscuit connoisseur to enjoy a good biscuit in the South. We butter them, we top them with sausage and gravy and sometimes, even make put a piece or two of fried chicken in the middle of one to make a sandwich. Biscuits are a doughy piece of heaven in the South.
