Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits is a regional chain of fast food restaurants based in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializing in spicy, "Cajun" fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits. The restaurants, named for the song written by Jerry Jeff Walker, are also known for their distinctive side dishes (called "fixins") including dirty rice, Cajun Pintos and Cajun seasoned french fries. Founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1977 by Jack Fulk and Richard Thomas, Bojangles' grew rapidly to over 200 locations by 1984, only to see its growth rate slow in the early 1990s.

The company grew substantially in recent years to over 400 locations in 11 states, mostly in the American South (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia) and the Mid-Atlantic States of Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and New York. There are also international Bojangles' locations in Mexico and Honduras. The Wall Street Journal in 2008 ranked Bojangles' as one of the "25 High-Performing Franchises." As of February 2008, Bojangles has 439 locations and is growing at a rate of about one new restaurant a week.
