AMAZING
1st SPICY FRIED CHICKEN
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Los Angeles
I love Popeyes fried chicken! Their legs are still tiny, but I just learned that their breasts are actually juicy! I usually avoid white meat fried chicken everywhere I go because it tends to be dried out. These were not. Color me impressed
3rd SPICY FRIED CHICKEN
Church's Chicken, Los Angeles
This was tough. It's spicy, like Popeyes, but in a different way. It has jalapeno juice on it. I think I like the flavor of Popeyes more, but these pieces are much larger. Very juicy too.
4th SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
Gus's BBQ, Los Angeles
Wow! This was delicious! It is half of a boneless chicken. I can't make this number one on my fried chicken list because there's no option to get it without the white meat. The dark meat and white meat are all in one piece. The seasoning is great and it's so crispy. The dark meat is juicy and Delicious. The white meat is just okay. They serve it with apple cider gravy which helps the white meat a little. I would go back just for this chicken.
6th SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, St. George
Crispy and juicy. They serve honey with it for drizzling
8th MOROCCAN FRIED CHICKEN
Mizlala, Los Angeles
4 out of six people in our group would say that this was the best thing that they ate. It is one of the biggest draws at this restaurant. Great skin and seasoning. It's crispy. I would have rated it higher if it wasn't white meat. Apparently, my husband agrees with me.
9th NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN
Yard House, Los Angeles
Flattened, breaded and fried chicken breast. Tastes perfect dipped in the honey hot sauce. It comes with sweet potato pancakes and pickles. The pancakes are delicious on their own... Save the syrup-like sauce for the chicken!
10th HALF AND HALF FRIED CHICKEN
Myungin Dumplings (명인만두), Los Angeles
Original and sweet/spicy. The original was basic but the sweet/spicy was really good
11th NASHVILLE STYLE DRUMS
Chick Stop Food Truck, USA
They have 5 levels of heat. We got hot. There are 2 levels hotter than these. They were a little hot for me but not too hot for everyone else. The Chick sauce is creamy and helps with the heat. They also give you honey which sweetens it but does not cool it down. Really juicy. #granadagrubfest
12th COCONUT FRIED CHICKEN
Cha Cha Chicken, Los Angeles
Crispy coconut battered chicken served with sweet mango and jerk dipping sauces. Choice of 2 sides. We chose Dirty Rice and Black Beans and Plantains. The rice was ok (I've had better). The chicken was really good. A thin crispy crust that was unique. I liked the jerk dipping sauce but not really the mango sauce.
PRETTY GOOD
13th SUNDAY DINNER CHICKEN
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, St. George
Fried chicken breasts. Good. A little dry. Mac and cheese and carrots were pretty good too
14th CHICKENJOY
Jollibee, Los Angeles
The skin is perfectly crispy and the chicken is juicy, but it needs seasoning.
16th CHICKEN STRIPS / GARLIC FRIES
Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park, Gilroy
The chicken was pretty good but the fries were just ok
JUST OK
17th 5 PIECES KARAAGE FRIED CHICKEN
Oi Asian Fusion, Los Angeles
Japanese style fried chicken served with choice of dipping sauce. The chicken is dark meat, tender and juicy... but there is no flavor in the batter.
18th POPCORN CHICKEN
Noe Restaurant & Bar, Los Angeles
We were at a special event where we got to sample new menu items. These were too dry.
19th JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN
Rococo Ramen, Los Angeles
Choose your flavor: original, garlic-soy or spicy. This was spicy. Apparently the flavor is just on the side and you dip in it. It was ok.
21st FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAVY
Joe's Cafe, Los Angeles
Fried chicken leg & thigh served with a creamy garlic gravy. This was disappointing. The very garlicky gravy is better described as a paste... Not very good.
22nd FRIED CHICKEN
Black Bear Diner Mt. Shasta, Mount Shasta
Nope. Thick, hard batter. Small pieces so there is more batter than meat. Also, I didn't enjoy the potatoes and gravy either.
