Best Fried Chicken in CT

[Drew]

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

TKs in danbury. unless you're talking about southern fried chicken in which case i never found any

Drumstick Barbecue on Main St. in Bridgeport has awesome fried chicken.

Sometimes you have to just go in the hood, some of the best fried chicken is found slummin there.

I go to a gas station when I'm in Stratford, that makes great fried chicken: Linky

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.

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.

Here's a take for you.

Fried chicken is terrible. Prove me wrong.

Nope. And don't give me the "you've just never had it from _____" or "If you tried mine, you'd change your mind". It's all gross.

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.

I know you love New Orleans, they of course do fried chicken better than everywhere else.

It is the best I've had. Fiorella's is my favorite because I like it spicy.

Shh. Don't bump the price.

Father Panic village

Were you autocorrected, or is this some kind of high concept social commentary misspelling thing like Amerika?

This is my favorite chicken sandwich anywhere, BRD in Baltimore, made from boneless, skinless thigh meat:

It was a neighborhood in Bridgeport. Known for drugs, crime and lots of police activity.

Growing up in Stamford, Reddi Rooster was damn good. I see they are still around, not sure if they are still good.

Thighs criminally overrated? I thought those were universally known as the best part. The wings get all up fried. Drums/Legs are for the kids. The breasts can be good but are so easy to overcook if you don't know what you are doing. The dark meat and size of the thigh is perfect for frying.

I remember an interview Cypress Hill had a million years ago and they did a gig in the area. They went looking for a bar in Bridgeport and ended up in a pool hall. They said 12 year old kids kept coming up to them trying to sell them guns and crack. They never even heard of Bridgeport before they booked a show and they thought CT. was all rich white people. DJ Muggs said he couldn't believe it, it was one of the roughest areas he had come across.

I'll have to try Fiorella's. Have had fried chicken in New Orleans and didn't find it anything special. When I'm in New Orleans it's all about the fried oyster or fried shrimp Po Boys. Mrs. Diesel is all abou the Mufallatas (or however it's spelled).

Had Willie Mae's and Coop's, need to try Fiorella's.

Well aware; true spelling was Panik.

Didn't you mean "underrated?"
Otherwise, yes.
