Do you remember that McDonald's chicken biscuit deal from last week, where they were handing out free samples? Well, it turns out that Hardee's was a bit miffed about that. Hardee's says that they've had the best chicken biscuit since 1972, and they're out to prove it. So from now until June 30, you can get the purchase price refunded if you don't agree that the Hardee's chicken biscuit is the best one out there. According to one company spokesman, Hardee's is pretty confident that they won't be refunding much money.
I haven't had a Hardee's biscuit in so long I can't even count the years, but I do remember them being delicious. On the other hand, I had a McDonald's chicken biscuit a couple years ago when they first came out, and I thought it was horrible. I don't know how much has changed at either place, but based on my (albeit sketchy) experience, I'd say Hardee's is probably right. Does anyone have any more recent experiences they'd like to share?

I guess that's why there is only one left in a three hour radius from my hometown. I think their food used to be good, but I don't know about their chicken. I always ordered the ham and cheese myself.

Everyone has their own preferences, but I guess for those of us that grew up with Bojangles, there's just nothing that can compete with the slightly spicy cajun fillet biscuit.

I think that now-a-days most people look at Hardee's as a nasty, old, run-down, beatup place that you only go to if you're out in the middle of nowhere starving to death. Well the size of their burgers should be enough to scare you away from their lunches. But. If you manage to take the time to roll out of bed before 10:30 and catch one of their breakfast sandwiches I think that you will be highly pleased. Now, I find the chicken biscuit a little on the greasy side and I could make one just as good myself but tasty none the less. But i do recommend trying the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. It is so good I always go there when i'm up early enough to catch the breakfast. McDonalds on the other hand just doesnt have that homemade taste to it. Maybe it's a personal choice but i dont know. Just try it and see. If anyone trys it please reply to me and tell me how you like it.
