best fried chicken??

[JDog]

Best Fried Chicken is Barbeque Inn. It was written up in Texas Monthly as the best fried chicken in Texas. Don't be in a hurry. It takes 30 minutes to fry the chicken. The chicken fried steak is some of the best in Texas too.

You know when you are getting old : instead of watching the porno channel, you are watching the food channel.

I would stack my Houston fried chicken experience up against anyone's.

In no particular order:

Barbecue Inn (truly old-school, like a 50s diner . . . because that's what it is; great fried shrimp, too; avoid the BBQ)

Al Aseel (seasoned with garlic and zaatar; them Palestinians got soul!)

Kenny & Ziggy's (just to cover all sides . . . they used to serve it every Wednesday, now only as a special; breaded with matzoh)

Spanish Village (on Almeda; trust me)

Funky Chicken (on Heights Blvd. south of I10; Bradley Ogden's new "fast food" joint; mashed potatoes with chicken gravy not to be missed)

Randall's on Westheimer @ Shepherd (not all Randall's, just this one; call in an order and they'll make it fresh and put it in a paper bag with little vents so it won't get soggy on the ride home)

Lucille's (in the Museum District)

Pondicherri (fried chicken with an Indian flair, breaded with chickpea flour)

Liberty Kitchen

Down House

Haven

Damian's

Frenchy's

Timmy Chan's

Popeye's

Frenchy's gets my vote.. I recommend it all the time.

Popeyes also had the best onion rings but they discontinued them years ago. Love the red beans and rice too. Not as good as Treebeard's.

As a youngster I use to make thouse onion rings as the cook of a Popeyes. They were hand made mostly, fresh onions, not the pre fried type you get now. Most everything else there was boil in the bag. Had a huge pot that would just be on boil all day. Took 10 mins and a knife to make red beans.

Strike out Down House, Liberty Kitchen and Timmy Chan's from above, and I agree.

Glad to see someone else likes the fried chicken at Haven.

Also at Haven is the Shrimp Corn Dogs, which are just short of heaven-sent.

Please pardon the "bump", but there is a big article on Fried Chicken to today's Houston Chronicle.
Paging Prime Time! Paging "Prime Time".

That ain't the one I was talking 'bout, DG (although I DID see that). See the "FOOD / Flavor" section in today's rag.

Prime time...where is your fave chicken place baby???

I finally had chance to go to Barbecue Inn. I was very disappointed. That place is not even in the same hemisphere as Frenchy's, there's no comparison. I will check out Max's next to see if they are what I have heard about them.

I'm curious to know also do what Primetime thinks. That man knows about fried chicken....
