Southerners eat fried chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which is why so many of us are self-professed experts. For this list, though, we turned to real professionals—seventy-some people who truly know fried chicken, from chefs with their own famous recipes to seasoned food and travel writers and G&Gcontributors.

So did staples like Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack in Nashville, Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, in Memphis, and Willie Mae’s Scotch House in New Orleans. But there were still plenty of surprises, too. Who knew you could order outstanding fried chicken off-menu at OvenBird, chef Chris Hastings’s Birmingham temple to open-fire cooking? Nashville’s Karl Worley did, and now the secret’s out. Start scrolling or click to skip around and see where the pros brake for yardbird in your state.
