But, if the chain wants to catch on outside the Carolinas, it needs to take on international players — like the ubiquitous Church's Chicken, with more than 1,700 locations worldwide.  In an effort to see if Bojangles' could keep up with the flock, we visited Bojangles' and Church's as part of our whirlwind chicken tour.  SEE ALSO: We visited the regional chain that Southerners say is better than In-N-Out and Shake Shack — here's the verdict ALSO READ: Chipotle shut down a restaurant after customers said they became violently ill — here's where you should eat instead Bojangles' was founded in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina. We visited one in Charlottesville, Virginia. Walking in calls to mind the cleanly, sterile taupe terrain of an old-school Wendy's. Ordering is a speedy business — though not a stealthy one.
