I moved to SF last year from SC and it has been a royal pain to find a good fried chicken joint. Friends, if you find yourselves in the southeast do your best to get into a Bojangles. Any suggestions for a good chicken joint in the Bay Area?
I have only found one reasonably good fried fish place and most of the french fries in the area aren’t great.
> To keep her family from starving, Annie began selling ham and veal sandwiches for a few pennies to miners passing the front of her house. It seems like an editor at the BBC missed something here. This should have probably read "To keep her family from destitution" - if they had ham and veal to sell, they presumably had it to eat themselves.

It's such a shame because the chicken you can buy here is, to my taste, of much higher quality compared to that in the U.S. The tenderness is incredible, and it's so moist it's almost impossible to overcook.

The only way to make fried chicken fast preserving its inner moisture is using a pressure fryer. That's the innovation that enabled KFC to become a fast food chain.
I'd love to choose a side. Sadly, I'm living in Copenhagen after living in the U.S. for many years and there's no fried chicken war and barely any fried chicken.

The trick is to call an hour ahead, and have them make it fresh for you. That's half a fried chicken, plus another half as fixin's!
Publix fried chicken has even made some top 10 lists for chicken/fried chicken reserved for restaurants.

I know this is kind of heresy but there isn’t good fried chicken in the Bay Area and I’ve traveled the country in search of fried chicken. I can’t tell you how many times people have said “omigod you have to try so and sos” only to be disappointed over and over. The best I’ve found in the US is Howlin Rays in LA (obviously) followed by Ms T in Chicago followed by the Gus’s chain. In the Bay Area, KFC is still the mos…

Traditional style:
RT Rotisserie, Brenda's, Hard Knox, Rusty's Southern, Brown Sugar Kitchen
Personally I'm a fan of the non-Southern-style fried chicken
Wing Wangs, Hot Sauce and Panko, San Tung, Rintaro
All Time Fav is Tokyo Fried Chicken in Montery Park (LA)
Everything is just perfectly cooked. chefs kiss
