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.

Try Southern Kitchen in Tacoma. They are SC transplants, I believe, and serve great fried chicken. BTW ours kid went to University of Puget Sound, so we visited them a few times. For us here in NC, it has to be Bojangles.
It was to appease the Moslems.
Always how my mother made it.....even down to the Crisco. Simple is better a lot of times.

There’s a good reason people avoid the south side of Chicago
The Crack Shack
I’ve been in a couple. Very depressing places.
Oh wait....you mean a restaurant chain.
Never mind.
I haven’t tried Bojangles since I lived in Virginia. It was really good. Also their biscuits.
I understand the nostalgia factor, but the mercury levels must’ve been through the roof. I love lake Huron whitefish myself, but keep it intermittent for that reason.

I like Popeyes, Publix, and Bojangles.
Most places I’ve tried cook it until it is dry inside and cook it too hot so the crust is dark brown,not golden. It is also hard to find good fryers less than 3lb birds in the store to try at home. Those huge breasts are tough.
So as we speak, I am roasting a lemon garlic pepper chicken right now.
Royal Farms in MD and VA have the best “gas station chicken” I have ever come across. Try to grab some each time I travel through the area. I would take it over Popeye’s or Bojangle’s anytime.
There are still a few Golden Birds around. I liked the one on Vermont just south of Exposition, a few blocks from USC. They offered collard greens as a side dish, which I prefer to French fries. Unfortunately, that one is long gone.
Popeye’s with Red Beans and Rice
Yes, my mom always had bacon grease too. And I love, love, love pimento cheese! They are easy to go nuts on ; )
Happy Easter
