What if I told you that fried chicken was invented by an Irishman in New York City who accidentally dropped a drumstick in a barrel of pig lard that had been out in the hot sun all day in the summer of 1874?

That story sounds like a typical genesis for such a popular victual. I believe they call it happenstance, and if you called me out on it, I’d say, enthusiastically, “Yeah you right!”

That means the story is completely false, in case you don’t speak in Flameisms.

Whether you’d believe the tall tale or not, however, the brilliant minds at (tH)inkSlinger compiled a must try list of Top 10 Fried Chicken Joints in the United States. Winners include both national chains and local hits with ranking based on nothing more than Jimmy Flame’s personal experience with each.
