It's the best food, right? Like, just undeniably in the upper echelons of deliciousness that exist in the history of human culinary brilliance. It's not complicated, but seriously. So fucking good.

yeh

are we going to make racist jokes soon, or can i put away my wifebeater?
-
The board will now hear arguments from the board about this fact. Additional topics of discussion include the dominance of KFC vs Popeyes, and whether spicy, crispy, or original chicken is better.
Obviously homemade is the best, so don't be a dick.
-
Additionally, discussion of proper side dishes, and beverages to accompany them.
-
I offer that while fried chicken is indeed delicious, I find the bones to be pointless and prefer my fried chicken to be made of boneless breast meat.
In addition, applying the same methods to a cow is also amazing.
-
it's all about the fucking drumsticks guys

Oooooooooohhh lordy

I think I prefer KFC to Popeyes. I need to go to Popeye's more for a better comparison.
I'll take a local place Pollards (http://www.pollardscatering.com/) over either of them though.
If KFC then it's going to be crispy.
-
Obviously homemade is the best, so don't be a dick.
My mother's is the Only Good Fried Chicken. I mean, yeah, fried chicken is the best goddamn dish on earth, but my mom does it better than anybody else, making everybody else's fried chicken taste like ass. Well-spiced, properly cooked, tender ass, but ass all the same.
Also, mashed potatoes and sweet tea are the only acceptable additions to a fried chicken meal. Potatoes may be served with gravy, and must always be covered in lethal amounts of butter and salt.
Your breakfast on the day you eat fried chicken must always consist of scrambled eggs, biscuits with Jimmy Dean sausage gravy, and grits. FUCKTONS of butter and salt in those grits god damn it I don't want to taste any ground up corn at all.
-
KFC is really no good. I tend to stick to local fried chicken joints. They tend to do it right at places like that. Franchises don't seem to have special family recipes like the little fried chicken shops.
As far as bones vs. no bones go, I do think eating the chicken sans bones is easier and cleaner and it's how I usually cook chicken but the fact remains that bones add flavor to meat when cooking. That's just how it is. So when it comes to good friend chicken, bone in tends to get the best results.
Also, I'm awful partial to a heap of really good coleslaw on the side and maybe a Dr. Pepper or some other soda with a little more kick to it than normal coke.
I like my fried chicken a little drier, not dripping with grease at all and I certainly won't complain if it's on the spicy side. A good batter made with flour and/or mashed up plain cereal (corn flakes!) is nice but throw in a decent amount of cajun spices (and obviously salt and pepper) and, if you really want to make things interesting, some cinnamon or the like for a unique little flavor kick and it tends to push it over the top. When I make my own (and it sometimes comes out OK and sometimes not) I tend to experiment and try out various spices in various combination. Also, a butter milk wash is basically essential. None of this dry rubbing spices on or shit like that. Even eggs and/or regular milk won't do, as far as I'm concerned.
Those are my theories anyway.
-
I have never had homemade fried chicken.
KFC is pretty much the only place to get it here, although there is a TASTY FRIED CHICKEN now, but I've been too scared to enter it. KFC is alright I suppose, it kinda lacks flavour.
Also, what the hell is a grit? Is it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits ?
-
If you've never had grits, you are missing out! They are so good. Of course, the only good ones I've really had are in the south so I rarely waste my time with them up here. But Patrick is correct, fried chicken and gravy with grits and biscuits at breakfast is basically perfect and an experience all should have. It might just kill you but hell if it isn't worth it.

Dixie fucking Lee
And some good gravy
Relieves my hunger pains when
Krispy KFC
Is unsavory, although,
Exquisite fried chicken is
Surely home-made
Lest we forget
Of this American dish
Lavished in grease and goodness
-
If you've never had grits, you are missing out!
My arm has been burned against a giant tub holding incredibly hot grits. The mark is still visible (it is kind of heart shaped). Therefore I have a vendetta against grits. I will not eat them. they have it out for me
Also fried chicken is only alright. KFC and Popeyes are incredibly terrible and I cannot eat there. I think it is even worse than trying to eat mcdonalds. And even the tasty homemade stuff makes me feel a bit gross. Not a fan.
-
Well-spiced, properly cooked, tender ass
How did people miss this?
-
Here is the breakdown of fast food fried chicken:
KFC is for white people who wear polos and loafers, and have yachts and wouldn't know good southern food if it bit them on the ass.
Popeye's is as close to middle of the road as you're gonna get. It's greasy enough to be some alright fried chicken, but not so greasy that lame as white kids in polos find it alright. You best get some red beans and rice when you get this shit.
Church's motherfucking fried chicken. This is the shit. Do you like real southern food? Are you black? Did you grow up in the south? Did you grow up in the ghetto? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you will like Church's chicken. If I remember correctly, you can get greens here as well. Shit is good. I haven't been to a Church's since I moved out of the city. Edwardsville is filled with stuffy white people who wear polos with their colars popped, and kakhis. All we have here is a KFC. Fucking lame.
Also, the greasy a fried chicken restuarant is the better the chicken is. I am serious.
-
homemade fried chicken is wonderful but kfc fried chicken is for people who just do not enjoy living.
-
Is fried chicken any good? Must admit I have never had any myself.
-
Fried chicken is a tasty and easy food to cook yourself. Chicken dipped in flour dipped in egg then dipped in panko bread crumbs fried in oil = happy people.
-
Surprisingly good. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_and_waffles)
-
I think I prefer KFC to Popeyes. I need to go to Popeye's more for a better comparison.

KFC is for white people who wear polos and loafers, and have yachts and wouldn't know good southern food if it bit them on the ass.
WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN YACHT?
You can keep the fucking loafers and polos but as a white person who goes to KFC I want my GOD DAMN YACHT!!!!!
And why are these grits, collards, okra, and chicken fried steak trying to bite my ass?
-
Fried okra,
-
Oh my god fried okra. I should make some of that shit tonight.
-
Deep-fried batter should contain fish - specifically, haddock, though several others will do. Eaten with proper twice-fried chips, loads of salt and vinegar, and a ball of battered mushy peas on the side. Tartar sauce is poncy, but actually rather good with it.
-
Fried Okra is seriously so good. Okra in general is one of the most underrated vegetables.
Chicken Fried steak is also delicious, but keep that bourgie shit out of my thread.
-
Meh, I've never been a fan of KFC. Bojangles is my fast-food restaurant of choice when it comes to fried chicken.
-
Popeyes is clearly the best fast food chicken because you can get jambalaya right there in the drive through. Drive through jambalaya. DRIVE THROUGH JAMBALAYA.
-
Man, I made a delicious jambalaya the other day. It was god damn tasty. God I love cooking.
-
I am with ozy, I think it is best boneless. I will just buy a chicken, de-bone it, and do it that way though, so I've got boneless chicken bits and soup bones.
Instead of an actual batter, I dip chicken in egg-wash with seasonings, then roll them in bread crumbs, and pan-fry then bake them. If I am feeling decadent I pan-fry them in butter.
I know I am neither a southerner nor a 'merican, so this is the way I have come to do it in my wacky culture.
KFC is OK. It was a big deal when it first came to my tiny town out on the far-side of nowhere, I used to like their popcorn chicken a bunch. I think my metabolism could no longer deal with it, though.
Obviously homemade is the best, so don't be a dick.
My mother's is the Only Good Fried Chicken. I mean, yeah, fried chicken is the best goddamn dish on earth, but my mom does it better than anybody else, making everybody else's fried chicken taste like ass. Well-spiced, properly cooked, tender ass, but ass all the same.
This was not funny?
-
KFC is for white people who wear polos and loafers, and have yachts and wouldn't know good southern food if it bit them on the ass.
Totally untrue where I live. If you have the money to buy a yacht here, you have the money to not eat at KFC. Srsly. The only people I see at KFCs here are rednecks and Hmong.
-
Church's motherfucking fried chicken. This is the shit. Do you like real southern food? Are you black? Did you grow up in the south? Did you grow up in the ghetto? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you will like Church's chicken.
Q, F, muthafuckin' T.
The problem with boneless chicken is, simply put, flavor. I mean, it's fine, but the bone adds depth of flavor to fried chicken. If I'm going to drown my chicken in buffalo sauce or some such, boneless is fine, since the point isn't chicken flavor anyway. But if I am going to get on the outside of some fiiiiine muthafuckin' Church's, don't play me no boneless shit, now.
Oh, sides. Dude. Okra and mashed taters. Truly Southern people understand grits to be a breakfast food. And, admittedly, something someone either enjoys or loathes with their entire being. There is no middle ground.
-
I am a big fan of mashed-potato salad.
-
Get some fucking hawtsauce up in this bitch.
-
I offer that while fried chicken is indeed delicious, I find the bones to be pointless and prefer my fried chicken to be made of boneless breast meat.
I am not a fan of breast meat. Despite how white meat is generally considered the best meat, I prefer dark meat. I'll have a drumstick please.
-
Pfft, drumsticks are no fun. If you only eat drumsticks you never get to refer to chicken boobs. (Sometimes in my head I also think of them is chicken tits, but never out loud because that's just crass.)
-
(http://streetknowledge.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/fried_chicken.jpg)
-
Like seriously what do you even say about that
-
If they weren't drumsticks I'd be able to say that those mo-fos are chest deep in chicken titties.
-
They appear to be titty-deep in chicken drumsticks.
-
I like to think that it's a defensive wall made out of moa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moa) drumsticks.
They've made the wall because the moas have returned from extinction in a highly unexpected apocalyptic scenario. Those two gentlemen are the last surviving humans. They're making their last stand behind a pile of their slaughtered enemies.
They've fried the bodies of their slaughtered enemies because just because it's a post-apocalyptic world doesn't mean that you can't have a little treat now and then.
-
They might be the menacing harbingers of humanity's destruction, but boy do they taste great when coated in a batter made with a subtle and piquant blend of thirteen herbs and spices!
-
Fuck yeah chicken drumsticks as big as your head.
-
I have a place up the street that does fried chicken that is kind of like KFC but tastier and without as much grease. It's fucking rad. Anyone who knows Newtown, I forget the name of it at the moment but it's on the corner of King and Brown, across from the book store/art supplies store.
-
Clems?
Clems is the best.
-
corner of King and Brown
Oh man I hope there's a shop that has something to do with snakes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Brown_Snake) somewhere near that corner.
-
It is the second largest venomous snake in Australia (after the Taipan) and the fourth or fifth? largest venomous snake in the world
And now I know exactly why wikipedia is my first source for solid information
-
Yeah it's definitely Clem's Chicken. It's a Newtown institution. They fought Chicken Wizard and beat them into the dirt, then kicked their sorry arses out of Newtown. They are the High Lords of greasy hangover food. Clem is possibly some kind of chicken-cooking demigod with two deep-fryers for hands. Man I think I'm going to go there after work.
-
Fuck yeah, Clem's. Deservedly winning their once long-running battle with Hook-a-chook earlier this year.
-
Hey, pagebreak! Kind of sounds like some kind of chicken shop RPG.
I need to get on the phone to a games developer right now.
-
Oh man yeah, it was Chicken Wizzzyrd not hook a chook.
But still yeah, their shit got beat down.
-
Clems' fish isn't that spectacular. But then again, it is a chicken shop, so what would you expect. I wish there was a good fish and chip shop around here.
Also, I used to think of Hook a Chook (it replaced Chicken Wizard, but died pretty quickly) as Hooker Chook, and then got slightly annoyed that their signs had nowhere near enough heavily made-up chickens in fishnets on them.
-
Holy shit I am going to Clem's for dinner guys, how did I spend six months here without knowing this? This is important local knowledge.
-
I wish there was a good fish and chip shop around here.
Fish On Fire in Glebe is stone-cold awesome. And pretty cheap, too.
-
Lunchy, we are probably talking the place up a bit - it's basically just your average takeaway place. But the fried chicken there is pretty good.
Yeah but it's all the way up in Glebe. We used to have a fucking tops fish shop just up the road, but then someone bought it and started renovating it but ran out of money halfway through or something like that, so it's been closed forever.
-
Ezell's Famous Chicken in seattle is the best fried chicken around.
Even Oprah thinks so:
Ezell's was made famous when Talk show host Oprah Winfrey called it her favorite fried chicken. There are a number of photos of her on the wall of the original restaurant proclaiming her love of the chicken. It is also said she has the chicken flown to her in Chicago when she has a craving.
Check the picture:
(http://www.ezellschicken.com/images/home_pic2.gif)
I think I will have some tomorrow.
-
corner of King and Brown
Oh man I hope there's a shop that has something to do with snakes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Brown_Snake) somewhere near that corner.
I owned an albino California King Snake not too long ago. It somehow escaped from its cage (regardless of the BRICKS on ALL FOUR CORNERS of the top of the cage) and was never seen again. :(
-
I will never have a snake or a spider as a pet for this reason. I do not want to be woken up by a poisonous animal biting my face.
-
i think people normally get ones that aren't poisonous, or not poisonous enough to hurt a human for that very reason. I am pretty sure you aren't allowed to have brown snakes as pets, anyway.
-
That's more to do with them being a native animal than because they're dangerous, though. You're not allowed to have any native animal as a pet in Australia unless it's injured and you're someone who volunteers to nurse injured animals.
-
The vast majority of snakes and spiders are not venomous, or at least not venomous enough to do any damage to humans.
-
Unless you're in Australia, which is the only continent on earth in which the elapids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elapid), or venomous snakes, are the dominant group.
-
But Harry, what about people who have blue tongues as pets? I mean they need a reptile license, but they are still native animals, no?
-
Yeah but like (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/est_xplosif/random/snakebite.jpg)
-
That's more to do with them being a native animal than because they're dangerous, though. You're not allowed to have any native animal as a pet in Australia unless it's injured and you're someone who volunteers to nurse injured animals.
Reptiles are an exception to this rule (there are also a few others, though it varies from state to state). There is a thriving trade in Australian reptiles within Australia, though the type of animal you're allowed to keep is controlled by a licensing system. A silly herpetologist friend of mine has a class 2 license, allowing him to keep venomous snakes.
-
My sister and I saw a python bite a guy like that a few years ago. I think it is a little funny, but she's now afraid of snakes.
I am pretty unhappy with fried chicken right now. About forty minutes ago I entered my apartment. I stepped on something, and when I lifted my foot I saw that it was a chicken bone. My stomach began to churn as I realized that tiny greasy bones were strewn across my floor. My cat had discovered them in the trash while I was out. I picked them up and threw them away while trying not to gag, then washed my hands more than was probably necessary. I called my boyfriend to inform him that he is not allowed to eat chicken wings in my apartment any more.
-
Err, don't pythons choke their prey to death before devouring it? Unless the guy was already dead, I doubt it was a python.
-
Perhaps it was a confused python?
-
Guys what happened to talking about fried chicken
My mom has a deep fryer and it is basically the best invention in the world because it makes it easier to make the best dish in the world.
We do not mess around with fried chicken in this house, that fucker cost like $200 and that is all we do with it. SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.
-
Err, don't pythons choke their prey to death before devouring it? Unless the guy was already dead, I doubt it was a python.
Pythons bite to get a grip on their prey, then constrict if I remember rightly. The bite isn't generally fatal, though.
-
Oh shit, I didn't know that. That is pretty interesting.
On an unrelated note: Man why all you Aussies always gotta make this about you? This is a thread about fried chicken dammit.
-
Fried chicken is amazing with ranch dressing.
Don't believe me? Try it next time. Your mind will be blown. In a very sexual sense.
-
I am now wondering if anyone has ever eaten batter-fried snake.
-
The venom glands are delightfully tangy.

This is, in fact, the best fried chicken.
I have eaten rattlesnake in a stir fry, but never batter fried.
-
What did the rattlesnake taste like?
The closest I've come to eating snake would be drinking cobra wine.
Think tequila, except there's a cobra instead of a worm.
-
I once ate eel.
Tasted like chicken...
-
Eel is the most delicious fish.
Fact.
-
Confirming.

-
I once ate eel.
Tasted like chicken...
I once ate eel, at a slow food market in Naples.
It tasted like the sea, and like the dream of a love affair in a foreign city, and like sunshine on a beach on a day that's warm but not hot, when a zephyr toys with your hair like a newly woken kitten playing with fallen leaves.
-
Thats a lot of taste for one eel. Are you sure there wasn't some MSG mixed in with it?
-
Do not eat ell at a traditional London East-end pie-'n-mash place - it is disgusting the way they do it (indeed, so are the pie and the mash). Of traditions that should be allowed to die quietly, those places are top of my list.
-
Thats a lot of taste for one eel. Are you sure there wasn't some MSG mixed in with it?
I'm not kidding when I say that the food at that market almost made me cry. There was no MSG, only the absolute joy of life. In a form your tastebuds could appreciate!
-

McDonald's does this on the Ranch Snack Wraps.
If you choose grilled chicken, it is because you are a pussy. Crispy, motherfuck.
-
Man there is no way in fucking hell the best fried chicken comes from Seattle.
This (http://www.amyruthsharlem.com/) is the best fried chicken (and waffles) ever taken off a cast iron skillet.
-
Err, don't pythons choke their prey to death before devouring it? Unless the guy was already dead, I doubt it was a python.
As the owner of a ball python, I can confirm by watching my snake eat and my love affair with animal planet that a snake does in fact bite its prey to hold it in place, while it coils around the small animal, not really choking it but more just bone crushingly mushing its insides to death with a lot more force than necessary. This does not in fact ever get old.
I am now wondering if anyone has ever eaten batter-fried snake.
Rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, TX (http://www.rattlesnakeroundup.net/main/modules/page/). Tried to go every year as a kid when we lived down there, I've had rattlesnake several times and I agree with pretty much everyone else who eats it, kinda tastes like catfish with the consistency of fried chicken, best when battered and fried.
Also, I refuse to believe that the best fried chicken comes from anywhere in the north 'Gene, it just isn't true and in that dark pit of a New Yorker soul that you have you know it.
-
Dude it's HARLEM.
That doesn't really count as the North.
-
No more snake posts in this thread. Seriously. Go start another thread.
Right now, I am sitting here eating some KFC, and it is still not nearly as good as Popeyes, or Church's motherfucking fried chicken.
-
I am still placing bets on MSG, I have never encontered food I care that much for.
-
How has Chick-fil-a not been mentioned?
I do enjoy Popeye's but I think it is mostly because of their fries.
Also, am I the only one who thought this thread would be like the bacon thread we had a while back?
-
no one's mentioned chick-fil-a because while it's okay, its not the best and its more about chicken sandwiches than fired chicken, which I prefer on the bone. Their chicken nuggets are okay as well, and I'll admit their selection of dipping sauces is probably the best out there chainwise.
Also, they aren't open on Sundays, and I take issue to that since Sunday is the best day for eating fried chicken.
-
Wow, how did I forget Chic-Fil-A? That's easily the best fast-food chicken around.
-
yo i had one of those fried chicken "ranch BLTs" in the states from a mcdonald's and it made me all bloaty and sick as hell, fuck yo chicken's couch america
-
I have to second Bojangles. The last time I was in North Carolina, I bought a Picnic dinner with double dirty rice, ate half of it right away and then ate the rest later, after a long session of Playstation 3.
BOJANGLES.
In Chicago, the best fried chicken I've had was from Harold's Chicken Shack, which is not convenient for North Siders. It is also not saying much because it's mostly Popeye's and KFC around here. There are a couple of Mexican chicken places, but they're kind of out-of-the-way, too.
-
KFC<<<Bojangles<<<<<<<<<<<Chic-Fil-A
-
Holy Freakin' Heck.
Fried Chicken is @#$%ing awesome. And I'm not just saying that because I'm Black... OK maybe I am, but I love the stuff.
-
In honor of this thread, I made fried chicken tonight. Dear lord it was delicious.
-
I saw an ad on TV today and decided that KFC should probably disappear from the face of the earth for creating THIS:
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p316/darkbluerabbit/chicken_bigbox-1.jpg)
From their website: Hungry for all of your KFC favorites and can’t pick just one? Now you don’t have to. Your rumbling stomach doesn’t stand a chance against our new Variety Big Box Meal, which includes a drumstick, a Crispy Strip, an individual box of Popcorn Chicken, two Homestyle sides, a biscuit and a refreshing 32-oz. drink. Fill up on all your favorites!
That is at least twice, if not three times what a human being should be eating in one sitting. The only person with an excuse for eating that is Michael Phelps. With the munchies.
-
I know that it's generally fun to yell at major fast food chains for their involvement in America's "obesity epidemic" but this is a thread about fried chicken. You can yell about how their chicken isn't tasty but I don't think "too many calories" is a valid point.
-
And to be fair if I ever ate at KFC... I might order that box. I enjoy popcorn chicken no matter where it comes from, they have good sides at least, and their chicken isn't the worst, as long as you get extra crispy, the original recipe does suck. The biscuits just aren't as good as popeyes though.
Strangely enough tonight in honor of this thread I made fried okra as one of the sides to a cajun inspired meal, which also included shrimp and sausage gumbo (sadly minus the file) and collard greens. All that talk about how awesome okra was earlier really made me crave it and I realized I haven't had any in years.
-
phil shut up you are making me so hungry all of you god dammit
-
KFC in America tastes like crap.
KFC in Jamaica is the @#$%ing best. There's a good reason we love our "fluffy" women.
-
Calories be damned. It's the sheer volume of that meal that terrifies me.
The human stomach is about a quart. A quart=32 ounces. That is just the soda. Before any food. And that is a LOT of food.
But none of that matters. I really just wanted to make a joke about Michael Phelps with the munchies.

Dude, the Big Box Meal pales in comparison to the KFC Frak Pak, their Battlestar Galactica promotional tie-in contest.
-
I am proud of my country that KFC attempted to introduce the Famous Bowl (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=tfan5MacmsI) in Australia and it lasted all of a month.
-
they have good sides at least
...sorry what?
I had a bowl of KFC potato & gravy and coleslaw and they would have to have been two of the most disgusting things I've ever eaten in my life.
On the subject of fast food chicken – there's currently an add on Aussie TV where an Australian comedian is in America asking for Red Rooster (an australian chicken place) and he explains that they do roast chicken, not fried and the Americans he's asking seem completely baffled by the notion of roast chicken, so do you guys not have roast chicken or is TV just lying to me again?
-
Yeah there's rotisserie chicken here but it's mostly something you pick up in a supermarket and something that Rachel Ray fawns over, so we're not too keen on it.
-

In addition to what Phooey said here in the States there's also Boston Market (http://www.bostonmarket.com/home) so I fear that the TV is lying to you again.
-
I actually make roast chicken myself not-infrequently. Thy television spews forth lies and slander.
-
Pfft, next you'll be telling me American police women aren't all impossibly gorgeous.
-
Doesn't KFC even sell roast chicken?
-
Not that I'm aware of. Boston market chicken is delicious though.
-
I'm not a fan of Boston Market chicken, but their cornbread sure is good!
-
Man, this thread makes me depressed that the only fried chicken I can even get close to in fucking Adelaide is fucking KFC. Which is disgusting.
-
"never eat anything that comes in a bucket"
Basic understanding of how much I hate KFC.
-
Man, fuck you guys and your chicken chicken chicken chicken talk, now I want fried chicken but have no idea where to get some around my workplace.
-
Boston Market is awful. Dry, flavorless rotisserie chicken, soggy, flavorless sides, and cardboard, flavorless biscuits.
They make KFC look like heaven.
-
Actually some of my favorite roast chicken comes from Sam's Wholesale Club, which admittedly is unfortunately owned by Wal-mart and is pretty much the same thing except you buy in even heavier bulk and the selection isn't as good.
-
A friend of mine used to work at KFC. I don't eat at KFC anymore.
-
Last night I made fried chicken strips and then coated them in Frank's hot sauce and butter (2:1 ratio from the directions on the bottle). I had them sliced on salad with blue cheese dressing.
Amazing.
