fried chicken
Breaded, oil-cooked bird
Fried chicken is chicken pieces coated in seasoned flour or batter and cooked in hot oil until crispy.
It's a staple of American Southern cuisine, strongly associated with comfort food and family gatherings.
We picked up a bucket of fried chicken for the picnic.
The dish appears across cultures—Korean fried chicken, Japanese karaage—each with distinctive seasonings and techniques.
