A close (and by that I mean, the winner eaked out by a hair) second would have to be Busy Bee. Third would be Thelma’s Kitchen.

The chains (Publix, Popeye’s, etc.) are good only when you have to take it in bulk - like to a dinner or picnic.

It makes me sad that some people do not know what GOOD Fried Chicken taste like. As a true Southerner I was fortunate to grow up in a home where Fried Chicken was a staple of our diet. Good Fried Chicken does not come from Walmart, Public’s Deli,Church’s or Mrs. Winners. For me Mathews has good Fried Chicken, another good place is Maritza and Franks in Hapeville.

Of the chains, Popeye’s is best, especially the spicy. Crispier and less greasy than KFC. Church’s used to be good - better than KFC, but I haven’t been there in a while.

Grocery store fried chicken (like Publix) is an abomination - usually more breading than meat. The breading can break your teeth when hot, and is only semi-edible when cold.

For one-off, Mom & Pop type places, Buckner’s has my vote, but is a haul for me. Closer to home I like Daddy’s in Acworth and The Whistle Stop in Kennesaw.

Decades ago there was a cafeteria chain in Atlanta called Morrison’s. They had the BEST fried chicken hands down.

The closest in taste to it that I’ve been able to find is the Collard Green Cafe. If you’re able to ignore the grumpy old man that runs the place, you’re in for a great piece of chicken!

Didn’t like the Colonade’s chicken. The Blue Willow and Gladys Knight’s are pretty good, but certainly not the best. Didn’t like Matthew’s Cafeteria’s chicken either.

The Midway Meal House on Hwy.9 between Milton and Cumming. It’s the best!

My fried chicken by far is the BEST! But the chicken at Publix is running a close second. :-)

Rexall Grill…Buford Highway @ Hwy 120 in Duluth…Buttermilk marinated…crispy, yet moist inside…and very tasty.

Nobody does fried chicken better than the Colonnade, order that with the macaroni and cheese and finish that baby off with a big ol slice of Coconut cream pie. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL EATING!!!

for those who say Publix yuk, well just maybe a lot of us like the crunch. I could do without the inside. I try to buy the skinniest piece they have just to have the crust. I am a native of Atlanta so truly southern. Matthews is very good as well as Blue Willow but I still prefer Publix to any around.

Boortz is upset because his name was misspelled by the very company HE works for. No wonder he preaches on HATE so often. The man is full of it…HATE, that is! Keep it up Neal (Spelled correctly BTW!)
