The deep south is known for great fried chicken. My grandma mastered the art of frying chicken. Nobody else comes close.  Back in the day, nobody in West Alabama could beat the fried chicken at Cotton Patch. It was simply the best. Legendary fried chicken for sure.

A recent ranking says there are five MUST TRY fried chicken restaurants in Alabama.

Martin’s in Montgomery, Alabama is an institution.

The meat and three has been serving up fine food for more than 80 years. Fried chicken at Martin's is the most popular thing on the menu. Martin's fried chicken is on Alabama's 100 Best Dishes list.

Eugene's Hot Chicken in Hoover, Alabama is another MUST TRY.

Betty Maye’s in Huntsville, Alabama

Betty Maye’s makes fried chicken so good it will make you want to curl up and take a nap. This is juicy and exceptionally flavorful fried chicken.
