The Rest of the City is Going Fried Chicken Crazy
Fancy fried chicken is all the rage these days, with Eater, New York Magazine and Serious Eats both putting together lists of the best fancy (aka expensive) fried chicken in the city. I can’t think of any fancy fried chicken in Midtown that should have been included on these lists (can you?), but NYMag did put together a taste test of the best fast food fried chicken, and Popeye’s was crowned the king (completely deserved.) In fact, I think they’d even beat some of the fancy spots in a blind taste test. Popeye’s is (still open) on 40th btw. 7+8th.

I prefer Popeye’s over KFC for sure (namely the extra crispy). I remember there being a Bojangles in NYC once (not sure where, I was pretty young), and that was even better.

I walked by Kyochon this past Friday. It didn’t look anywhere near ready to open up unfortunately.
Am I in the minority? KFC baby! even P Diddy agrees.
