Not many people can resist chicken dipped in batter and fried until crisp and golden, which is why fried chicken is largely considered classic comfort food.

It doesn't even matter what sides I have with it, although I prefer mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw, I'll rarely say no to fried chicken, and it appears I'm not alone.

According to US Foods, a significant percentage of consumers say they crave fried chicken at least once a month or more, with many citing weekly or even daily consumption. This widespread appeal is reflected in its prevalence on menus across various restaurant types, as well sheer number of restaurants dedicated to fried chicken in its many variations.

So, if you're looking to find the best fried chicken in America, where do you go? The truth is that every state has great places to try, especially in the south. I've found my all-time favorites in the southern states.
