I used to love Golden Bird Chicken in Los Angeles. They were a very successful local chain that had a unique recipe.
All I have to say on the topic is that best New York pizza is in Connecticut.
I only go to restaurants with a sign in the window that says “Worlds Best ______”.
Publix grocery store.
Darn great chicken.
The best perch “batter” is flour and salt.
Best if caught ice fishing on Saginaw Bay with your father in the 70’s.
My kitchen.
Order the extra crispy and pick it up fresh.
How anyone can cover Chicago and NOT mention Harold’s Chicken Shack tells me they spent little time in Chicago or ignored the south side.
Flour, salt and pepper. Pan fry with Crisco. I’m just sayin’.
To me the best fried chicken is Popeye’s. I guess they are outside the South too.
Some of the early Kentucky Fried Chicken was really good but they seem to have forgotten how to make it.
I agree. Publix has good fried chicken. The lemon pepper rotisserie chicken and chicken tenders are awesome too imo.
I agree Popeye’s
Any Popeyes, anywhere
Gus’. End of story.
