Now that the Houston area (well, Stafford at least) will finally be getting an overrated In-N-Out Burger (stifle yourselves) a handful of Houstonians have set their sights on landing another cult fast food chain.

Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits, a place where biscuits and Cajun fried chicken are all the rage from breakfast to dinner, was founded in 1977 in North Carolina. Think of it as a less spicy Popeyes with added sweets and you have the idea.

ALL THE CLUCKS: Houston street corner has five chicken-to-go places across the street from one another

A Twitter account dedicated to Bojangles love in Houston was set up a few weeks back. Props to the people behind it for trying to get the word out about a regional delicacy that's missing on the Houston map.

There are 11 states with Bojangles locations (all east of the Mississippi) including one in the heart of Washington, D.C., blocks away from the U.S. Capitol to feed hungry fat cats lawmakers.

What Bojangles has that Houstonians should be lusting after are biscuits, which they seem to have perfected. In addition to hand-breaded fried chicken (claimed to be marinated for a minimum of 12 hours in a blend of spices) they have numerous biscuit sandwiches including a pork chop biscuit.

The famous Bo-Berry Biscuit is a blueberry-laden biscuit slathered in icing and running at a cool 350 calories per, along with enough sugar to negate your morning coffee.

THE MORE YOU KNOW: H-Town is Fried Chicken City

The macaroni and cheese is made with four cheeses (a rarity in fast food) and their version of hash browns are called Bo-Tato Rounds and have a slight onion flavor, bigger than most hash brown bites. This is also the kind of place that is so steeped in southern attitude it has grits on the menu as a side.

The man behind the Twitter account got a taste of Bojangles while serving in the United States Marine Corps.

"While the Houston food scene is amazing, there are certain regional franchises that I'd like to see come here," Ray Fisher said this week. "I was hoping that by starting a Twitter handle for that purpose, I could attract other Bojangles fans to make some noise."

Just this year alone Houston has seen the entrance of Gus's Fried Chicken along Washington Avenue, plus fast food chains like Raising Cane's keep popping up from The Woodlands down to Lake Jackson.

Back in 2016 Bojangles brass told Business Insider that they would like to open as many as 3,500 locations nationwide in addition to the over 600 it already has.

How would more fried chicken do in a city already filled with every kind of greasy, flaky bird under the sun? Houston is a place where you can either do fried chicken on the cheap at Frenchy's or paired with expensive champagne at a fine dining restaurant like State of Grace so there is plenty of room for variety.
