In my younger days I recall going to a place in Springdale, AR that had great fried chicken. Was it A&Q, or something like that?

AQ - said to have been Bill Clinton's favorite chicken and now
festooned with pictures of celebrities, including Bush Sr., which is the only reason I got a friend to go who is a big GOP enthusiast. The chicken was no better, in my estimation, than Popeye's (which is actually quite good). |
My great grandma's and my grandmother's fried chicken was better than any other fried chicken I have eaten anywhere...period.
Since both sweet ladies have passed away, it is down to a few Church's and even fewer KFC's for decent fried chicken...as long as it is fresh, extra crispy and HOT!!! Cheers, |
I was going to vote for Babe's too. Haven't been out to the Roanoke locations since I can get to the Garland or Carollton location much more easily.
It's great fried chicken. |
Chicken Mary's North of Pittsburg, Ks. It beat out Chicken Annies which is next door on the show Food Wars. It's the best!!
|
Stroud's in the Kansas City area (two locations). Featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

Indeed. The one on State street behind the Hilton is HORRIBLE, Hyde Park is pretty good, and I've heard good things about the one down by Cermak and Michigan/State, but haven't been there.
Apparently some are corporate owned and some are franchised, and quality varies greatly. |
Another + for Publix, but it definitely needs to be eaten when freshly-made. I live three blocks from the downtown Ft. Lauderdale Publix, and I'll wait for a fresh batch if the containers in the rack have been there for a while.

Paula Dean's Lady and Sons in Savannah, GA had hands down the best fried chicken I've ever had.
Say it ain't so! |
I've been having tasty fried chicken at Nana's Soul Food south of Charlotte NC...I might give Coops a try next week

Fast food wise, my votes go to Popeyes and Bojangles.
The Lady and Sons was ok, but the buffet itself was a bit underwhelming IMO. For the best Fried Chicken in Savannah, try Ms. Wilkersons(probably spelled that wrong) +1 to Publix. http://www.mrswilkes.com/index.html Last time I went to the Lady & Sons was about 15 years ago when I was hosting a corporate group for a city tour on a Sunday when Mrs. Wilkes' is closed. |
A year ago I would have been all over this like a man over a bucket of fried chicken, but I'm actually sick of fried chicken.... and believe me it takes a lot of it to make me sick of it, I used to eat it at least every other day.
1. Bon Chon Chicken is amazing, we actually had people get jobs there in order to learn how it's made.... 2. The chicken that beat bobby flay on Throwdown with Bobby Flay actually sucked, I've had it and it was incredibly disappointing. 3. Good Fried Chicken is only as good as the sides that accompany it. I'm going to Jamaica in October and apparently there is some good Fried Chicken over there, can't wait! |
