You’ll find a lot of debate among aficionados: Whether the white or dark meat fries up better, which oil is best, what kind of breading to use, and even the ideal pan and dredge for the optimum crunchy, juicy piece of fried bird. But stand on any side of these variables you desire, and you’re still going to give us a hot, crispy piece of succulent fried chicken. And we’re going to love it.
