Best Fried Chicken

Most everyone visiting this site loves fried fish and I suspect most all of you love good fried chicken. We all know grandma made the best but what restaurants in your area make THE BEST fried chicken. I live in the Tallahassee FL area and I really can't bestow that honor on any of our restaurants around here but I lived in Montgomery AL for several years and Martin's restaurant made the best I've ever eaten. They are still doing business so if you're in the area, give em a try.

What about where you live? I may want to give your favorite place a try if I'm ever in the area.

gus's world famous fried chicken mason, tn the best you will ever find if you like spicy chicken. the one in mason is the original one but they have branched out over the past couple of years. there is one in down town memphis, east memphis, whiteville, jackson, and south haven, ms. google it.

Im from NC, but the best I ever had was Bee's they have family style dining, lazy susan tables....in Chatanooga TN.

When I think of good fried chicken I think of Eischen's Bar in Okarche. Great place to take a group of friends for beer and chicken in central oklahoma. Quite a few people load up and drive a couple hours just for the chicken.

The one in Jackson closed, but they opened one in Dyersburg. I've been to the one in Mason a few times. You're right, it's good stuff.

Other than my wife's fried chicken, my mother taught her now to. I would have to say Classic fried chicken in Shreveport, La.

Believe it or not, our Ingles serves plates for lunch daily. That place employees some of the older black ladies that really know how to fry chicken too. Nobody will tell ya, but if you've ever eaten anything cooked in homemade hog lard then you'll recognize the taste in their chicken.;) It's about as good of chicken as you'll find here in Elberton if youre around come lunch time when it fresh cooked. The veggies are great too. Only problem is they dont cook bisquits.....only get rolls from a package.:( Oh well.....they fill your plate up so much they cannot hardly close the lid so it's still worth $5 a plate anytime!:)

I used to love that place back in the early 70's when I was a kid following my Daddys traveling softball team around. I could not wait for them to get a break during the Pick of Dixie tournament every year. I knew we were heading there to get some chicken and peach cobbler. Anyone know if their still in business? Dang I'm hungry.

My mom's and then her mother's or my grandmother. She makes a coating out of Cracker Meal that is truly awesome!

Price's Chicken Coop....Charlotte NC... "the best" IMHO...sorry Mammaw...

I'll keep my little list handy when I travel!!

i agree with zinsurance, eishen's bar in okla. is hard to beat.

Yup, nothing like a cold beer, basket of Okra, and a whole fryer from eishen's

Well as far as bought fried chicken,,,i love to eat popeye's.

Yes BEA'S REST. is still going strong and has the best fried yard bird around.Ate there last night .Saturdays it's cherry cobbler yum yum.If you are ever in the Chattanooga area stop in.Ask anybody for directions,they will tell ya.

in a little town called blakely in southwest ga( yes, the same place the peanut recall is from ) there is a place in town off hwy27 called blakely chicken. it has been there for years and years and years. its the best ever.

Well, for me, I will eat my chicken at home, no one around here can cook it right. I like the dark meat, wings and thighs are my favorite and me and my wife cook them the best at home. I am the same way about my fish, got to cook them my self, we need a GOOD fish camp around here in a bad way.
