In the mood for some good fried chicken this weekend while enjoying some college football. Anyone got any suggestions? Preferably near Fairfield County?

Garden Catering in Old Greenwich, CT.

For first timers, get a high school special: A 1/2 of breast nuggets with french fries dusted with their special seasoning.

Stop by after November 1st and Tods Point is open to the public. It's gorgeous there in the fall/winter and you'll have the place to yourself. Views of Manhattan.

The Chicken Roost in Bridgeport, Connecticut

Bridgeport’s “The Chicken Roost” was an offshoot of “The Chicken Coop”, which began in Hartford. The restaurants were run by a family of five brothers, and became famous with generations of Connecticut residents for their fried chicken, onion rings, and the cute baby pictures that adorned the walls.

I used to live on Lee Av across from old Bassick High School. Loved the fries at the Chicken Roost. Right across from the Mosque. Bridgeport at one time was the perfect melting pot. Rough but not crazy dangerous. Then drugs came in and it became lethal. Political graft was rampant and so you have what u have now.

My father was the rib and rotisserie chicken man Thursday , Friday , Saturday and every other Sunday , while I breaded. My mother managed and made most of the salads and deviled eggs along with Rocco . Sister was a fry girl Friday night's were insane . I spent most of my childhood there or on a baseball field. Good times.

Which one was the original, State St. or Main St. (the remaining store)? I recall going to State St. in the 80s/90s a lot.

It’s really good. I concur. I’d stop there before my FFD county gigs frequently. I’ve never had a problem there but I used to walk in and out of Father Panic village before it was razed.

I got to discuss this with a Detective from the Bridgeport PD who was stationed at my volunteer position at the Vibes a week later. Said he had never seen anything like it in his 30 years on the force. Over thirty rounds fired. Killed the target, shot the owner in the ass for employing him, and no collateral damage. A professional Jamaican hit...

My grandfather owned both( was one on State street for years )Drumstik Bar B Q's for 30 something years before his death in 1999. His wife and children have run it since and before that all five of his children , along with my sister and father all worked there. I'm not sure about it's current reputation but back in the day it was the best. Fish , chicken, greens , egg potato salad, liver and gizzards , deviled eggs and German chocolate cake. Little of everything

Does his second wife’s family run it or his first wife’s family? I still remember him cooking chickens !

I'm not sure , I texted my mom and asked her. State street was being robbed too often to stay open. He ended up being stabbed and nearly gutted in the main street store late one night. He managed to get to his office , grab his weapon and put a few rounds in one ( since most of the length of the front was all glass) .

Getting shot in the buttocks in Bridgeport is actually fairly common. Google it.

Lol I was in there the other day and had to run back to my car for my wallet. They ran those prices up crazy. Chicken still fire though.

Rootsman Kitchen on Park Avenue deep in the hood in Bridgeport. Just south of the Railroad tracks. They don't make it until after lunch. Lock your car doors. Consider packing....but it's excellent.

Haha I like your advice, but true .
 
Garden Catering is delicious. I'm far from a fried chicken connoisseur, but I remember a place/gas station near the Webster Theater being good.
 
Broasterant on Park Street in Hartford has EXCELLENT fried chicken. The neighborhood is pretty sketchy though so consider that when going there.
