America’s ‘Fried Chicken War’

I know this is kind of heresy but there isn’t good fried chicken in the Bay Area and I’ve traveled the country in search of fried chicken. I can’t tell you how many times people have said “omigod you have to try so and sos” only to be disappointed over and over.

The best I’ve found in the US is Howlin Rays in LA (obviously) followed by Ms T in Chicago followed by the Gus’s chain.

In the Bay Area, KFC is still the most reliable.

I'd agree SF could have better Southern-style fried chicken. But at the KFC level Krispy Krunchy Chicken is pretty damn great :)

I haven't tried KKC yet. It's on my list. Also, Thomas Keller's fried chicken is wildly overrated also. Perfect fry but very unseasoned. Not worth a trip up.
