Best Fried Chicken in CT

[Horatio]

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

Thanks for sharing. That place is still solid.

Bridgeport News: Detectives Investigate Shooting – DoingItLocal

www.doingitlocal.com

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...

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

BonChon Chicken in Fairfield is delicious but it's not traditional football chicken and it's kind of pricey

apparently, u guys bought the Chicken Roost.

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.

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.

That area is fine. You can't live your life afraid to walk down a street.

Here's a take for you.

Fried chicken is terrible. Prove me wrong.

Thermonuclear take, burden of proof is on you here

You can go see for yourself. The vibe isn't the safest.

I mean, yeah it’s all gross if you think about it.

That’s why I don’t think about it. I love it.

Thighs are criminally underrated.

And Boneless thighs in Chicken Cacciatore is to die for.

Some people don't know what the "hood" is would love to bring people to actual hoods/sketchy places.

So many small town and burbs people in CT. are scared of Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury...it's hilarious.

Greer's Chicken bristol

I went to Greers a few times. I liked the crunch and flavor but it had no heat AT ALL.

It isn't fried chicken to me if I don't sweat a little. My family is from down south
