The standard chicken fry at KFC cannot be more than a starchy coating of flavors with lots of sesame seeds, but there are places in the US, which fry the chicken in the right order. The African Americans who use the most authentic technique for the prefect crispy fried chicken own these places.
The simple technique lies not in over flavoring the chicken batter, but preserving the natural juices of chicken and dusting them with flour, salt and pepper only. The African American restaurants that do it best are as follows:
1. Ruthie – Ruthie is near Fort Greene Park not only gives the best of chicken breasts and thigh portions, but also accompanies it with cornbread, spicy and cheesy sauces and salad greens at $8.75 only.
2. Mitchell – It is in Prospect Heights and is better than Ruthie is, with a crispier skin and a variety with cornbread and in sandwich.
3. Les – Located in Bed Study Les serves the best fried-chicken, priced for a dollar and the one with sides comes at $7.95. The sides with fried-chicken here comprise bitter turnip greens flavored with smoked turkey and a potato salad kissed with mustard. To add to the meatiest fried chicken is the setting of the place that steals the heart of its diner.
The restaurants mentioned above make the best chicken out of scrap, but they have failed to attract customer attention as they produce the best in America in a little more than 20 minutes, they maintain a low profile and they do not boast on added flavor. The chicken fry by the African American restaurants gives ‘pure meat’ to the meat lovers cooked in its own juices.
