There’s no denying the South has some of the best fried chicken in the country. But the secret's out and all around the country chefs are frying up some great fried chicken. Here are our picks for the 13 best.

If you find yourself craving fried chicken in upstate New York, Portland, Oregon or California, we’ve got you covered. Some of these restaurants are serving up classic Southern fried chicken or putting their own twist on our fried favorite. Either way, all of these restaurants will satisfy your fried chicken

The Crack Shack San Diego Founders Michael Rosen and Atlanta transplant Richard Blais had a bold, but simple vision when they created The Crack Shack: Southern California fried chicken and eggs. And with their “crack spice” and locally raised free-living chickens, the menu at The Crack Shack reimagines these classic dishes. While the menu varies at each location, the delicious fried chicken stays the same.

There is no such thing as great fried chicken outside the south...

It’s not that hard, but Yankees and west coasters always think they can do something better... and they can’t.

...To me the best fried chicken is Popeye’s. I guess they are outside the South too.

I still love good old KFC, all dark original. I’ve tried some of the others and they never did much for me. I just wish they had better sides.

Soak it in butter milk for 12 hours before frying.
Use a bit of baking powder too with your flour with salt and pepper. Pan fry in a cast iron skillet.

I used to love KFC. For years now, those KFC place near me serve a far inferior fried chicken.

Stroud’s in Kansas City, MO...best I ever had.

Popeyes in downtown Chicago was excellent years ago....don’t know about now. The ones in the suburbs that I have tried have blown.

“gay side dishes”

Sweet Potato Waffles.

Why does everything have to have sweet potatoes or kale in it?

I also prefer Popeye’s.

KFC is way too greasy now.
