My grandmothers fried chicken was the best. She would give the recepie to my mother, but always left an ingredient out.

Never figured out what the missing ingredient was.

fried chicken made without buttermilk can’t compete

“Never figured out what the missing ingredient was.”

Probably lard.

To this day I recall the aroma of my mothers fried chicken.....delicious!!!

I would submit that the best fried chicken that isn’t homemade can be found at Willie Mae’s Scotch House in New Orleans.

And get a side of butter beans while you’re there.

You can thank me later.

I like Gus’. We went to the one in Mason, TN when it was the only one. Now there are quite a few.

The grandkids and great grandkids swear by the fried chicken at the Belgrade Gardens in the Canton/Akron area of Ohio. I also think it is extremely good. Lots of paprika in the flour mix.

Jake:
Got any fried chicken?

Mrs. Murphy:
Best damn chicken in the state.

Jake:
Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.

My mom’s. And when I got a squirrel, she’d cook it the same way.

[P.O.E.]

Before the air fryer, there was the old electric skillet with the giant plug.

I’ve had Hattie B’s in Nashville before. Loved their hot chicken. I’ll have to try Prince’s next time I am there.

The Best Fried Chicken in the U.S.

Is made with real colonels.

TBH, the fried chicken at *most* Popeye’s is first rate if you love spicy breading.

A special hat tip to the original Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), not all their later versions.

The best fried chicken I ever had was at the historic San Gorgonio Inn in Banning, Calif., which was once a stagecoach station. However, when the highway though San Gorgonio Pass became an Interstate freeway, business declined. Although it went through several changes in ownership, they retained the fried chicken recipe. Unfortunately, it’s now a vacant lot.

Was contracting in Waukesha, WI several years ago...They advertised southern fried chicken on the companies cafeteria menu...

I went through the line and asked one cook where was the fried chicken??? He heard my accent and asked me where I was from...

I said Tennessee...He told me he was from Atlanta...He pointed and said THAT is what are calling fried chicken...It looked like plain baked chicken...No breading or anything...

He was a black guy and then told me don’t even think about looking for any country ham up here and both of broke out laughing...

I had some great Fried Chicken at the Mount Vernon Inn.
