I really like the fried chicken at Redbones. I don't know if it was a once a week special or if they have it all the time. But it's god old fashioned country fried chicken that you can get with (or without) white gravy.
The best southern-style fried chicken I've ever had in this area was near Central Sq (just a few T stops!), at Coast Cafe: http://coastsoulcafe.com/ Doesn't taste gross and oily, just crisp and juicy! Mmmmmm....
There is some amazingly good fried chicken at.... Blue Fin. Yes, Blue Fin, the fancier Japanese restaurant in the Porter Exchange (in the back). I was shocked by how good it was. And it's not particularly expensive, either, for the quantity you get. Definitely worth your consideration.
Why don't you like it? Just curious... I mean, it's not crazy-flavorful and greasy goodness like some places, but it definitely represents that whole "frying to lock in natural goodness" that Southerners bust out for those deep-fried Thanksgiving turkeys, etc.
Haha, you sound like me and my friends last week in Central Square. I was ready to kill a man if it could've some how scored me some actual fried chicken. Looks like a lot of people have chimed in here, so all I have to say is that if someone told you they got their fried chicken at Mass Chicken, they're not eating fried chicken. :'( (It's rotisserie.)

There's one over near Fenway.
Trust me, it's worth the trip!
PS- Get the "spicy" when they ask. When they say "spice" they mean "flavor"

I miss the Popeye's that used to be in Porter Square.

When Wabbit and I go to New York on the Fung Wah, it lets off right smack next to a Popeye's in Chinatown. It's part of the reason we go.

The best fried chicken establishment in the boston metro area is easily the Hen House in Dorchester (might be roxbury).

I don't care for the chix at Coast. The meat patties are another story entirely.
