Had a neighbor who went back to east Texas for a funeral years ago. He was looking forward to Hattie's fried chicken. Hattie told him that it was KFC. That was back before the explosion of fried chicken joints. I fried my own for years, but never again. My go to fried chicken is the Popeyes Tuesday special spicy. Had it tonight.

Yours?

My go to is Bubba’s in University Park near SMU. The Babe’s folks.

Been going for years. Never changes. Good folks.

I like Bush’s Chicken, I always stop there in Lemesa when I go thru.

Agree. Bubba's is always good.

Babes has pretty good chicken. For fast food I like Churches Spicy.

Babes is hard to beat. Chicken, biscuits, gravy.....come on with it.

Brookshire grocery store

Yep Bubba's across from SMU

Gus's Fried Chicken

Chicken Express. Always delicious.

Babe's Chicken is so-so...but their catffish, chick fried steak, and all the fixins! MMM!

For chain fried Chicken, Popeye's.

Ours is a hit or a miss, sometimes it s great, others, okay.

Favorite all time is Blue Ribbon chicken, a New York place. Also Vegas.

Locally, believe it or not Kroger deli.

I decided to eat at Popeyes last week 3 pieces meal that comes with one side ( I had Red Beans & Rice) a biscuit and a drink, it was $9.47 Never again

For some unknown reason we found that Ohio has great fried chicken. Every little hole in the wall makes it and it was always the best ever. That’s the only thing I miss about Ohio.

Yup!!! Always solid.. If Im in the Metromess Bubbas in Dallas or Frisco... Even though they own Babes, its not the same...
Waco gotta stop at Bushs!!

Pop’s Honey Fried Chicken on Hwy 80 in Terrell. Never seen so many sides. Very good fried chicken.

You guys aren't going to believe this but the Walmart chicken here is dang good . I am a picking eater also but there deli has really gotten great

Had the chicken at the Brookshires Bridgeport store, pretty good.

My favorite "normal" fried chicken is Walmart deli fried chicken.

The best fried chicken ive ever had came from a place called Yardbird in Las Vegas. Was supposed to be marinated in buttermilk and spices for 18+ hours, it was off the charts compared to any other fried chicken ive had.

The buttermilk brine is important to get that super juicy chicken.

Another vote for Brookshire's! It's a staple on any summertime fishing trip. I like it better cold, actually, so I buy it the day before and toss it in the ice chest with the beverages.

Bush's in Waco is OK but something changed about 15 years ago and I'm no longer a fan. They do have large pieces, thougjh. Much bigger than Popeye's. A thigh from Bush's is the size of a breast from Popeye's.

Not really propper fried chicken, but I love those open top cups of chicken nuggets from Walmart.

I read this and immediately was confused with the Yardhouse restaurant chain. Looked up Yardbird and saw where they are opening one in Dallas mid-March 2020. Will have to try.

Yardbirds is without a doubt the best fried chicken I have ever had with the exception of my mother’s own recipe. Exciting to hear they are coming to DFW. Their Chicken, Waffles and Spicy Watermelon is about as good as it gets. Always a must when in Vegas.

My momma was a great cook but she fried chicken in a skillet rather than a deep fryer. Made great gravy with the pan drippings but came up short of the deep fried chicken of now days. I like most of them but prefer Popeyes because of their spicy recipe.

My mom made fried chicken in the oven. I guess it was less of a mess. No it wasn’t shake n bake.

I've heard of this. Good?

Babe's is really good, but if you eat all the family style sides, biscuits, etc. you almost have to be wheeled out of the restaurant on a dolly.

Lisa's Chicken (Three locations in Arlington) IMO is easily the best fried chicken for the money.

Does anybody know if The Red Rooster is still in business in Brenham? Once upon a time they had great fried chicken.

Just my .02,
LeonCarr

Well of course it was good, it was cooked by Mom.

We had a Bush's Chicken place, it had just got going good and then closed without notice. It was really good while it lasted.

Babes, Sanger,Tx

Hands down its Frenchy’s, but you only know about it if your from Houston.

This^^^!!!

She wont see it sooooo…. its better than my mommas fried chicken

if your ever in the middle of God's country, be sure to stop here...

Oh heavens that does look good

You are correct sir. I get some every time I'm there.

we had a place in Wichita Falls called the Chicken Box...was open for a long time but just recently shut down dangit! Best chicken i've ever had!!

We had a place in Waco called Crack House Chicken ( unofficial name). It was great chicken, but the place looked like a crack house! Everyone just asked for lunch, "Crack House Chicken?". Ok

Dang, I remember going there growing up. They would put the jalapeno juice in with your bag of chicken.

I'm at work reading this and looking at the pics like

Forgot about this place. It was good.

My favorite is by far Eischen's. Just don't get it very often. I do like Babe's and Brookshire's too.

I was over at the same center where Popeyes is and saw that KFC had just opened a new store near there. Haven't had KFC chicken years. Might give it a try just to compare and contrast. Hate to give up the taste and price of Popeyes Tuesday special.

You can take it to the bank when I quote myself. I'm trying it with a microwaved sweet potato tonight.

Lucy's in Austin...Fried Chicken, Fried Calf Fries and Fried Deviled Eggs...mmmm

The chicken spaghetti casserole is amazing there. Also their fried pork chops are really good.

Just went to the website and menu, looks great

Fat Chicken Rockwall

THIS!!!! I’ve had the chicken at most places that have been mentioned here. GUS’s hands down.
Brookshires is good but man they love to pour on the salt

This is supposively the best in Dallas. Streets Fine Chicken. Haven't been there but the menu looks killer.

My favorite "fast food" fried chicken would be Popeyes Spicy. Restraunts in Texas probably babes. My wife's though beats all of them. Now, don't tell the wife but the absolute best fried chicken I've ever had - the pan fried chicken at AQ Chicken House in Springdale, Arkansas.

I will have to try it

bigbob_ftw get a box of this https://grocery.walmart.com/ip/Kent...BQqfEAQYASABEgLI-fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Follow the instructions. It is real good. use butter not water. We did it last night.

Jalapeno dipped gizzards from there were awesome back in the late 70's early 80's.

When all the stupidity stops.

We live close enough to Mary`s Café to get the carry out service during the corona virus crack down. We got a LARGE chicken fry for the two of us and it was way more that we could eat. It actually made two meals for 2 people. It was also very tender and tasted great. Great job Mary` Café.
