July 6th & Fried Chicken!

July 6th is National Fried Chicken Day! Sorry chickens but fried chicken is Fun Food. And so is Fried Chik’n or Chick’n if you can find it!

I learned way more about Fried Chicken from Eater as they dedicated their entire day’s Newsletter (June 29th) to the background, history and best places to eat it! Fried chicken is eaten around the World.

Personally, I’m a fan of fried chicken in nugget format – my friend’s mom makes the best Chicken Karaage and the next time you have indian food, try Chicken Pakora – tamarind sauce or mint chutney is a fun change from sweet & sour sauce or one of these other sauce suggestions. My current fave fried chicken experience happened in Vienna (VFC!) at Figlmuller Lugeck a wunderbar Schnitzel restaurant! And in a pinch, I’d even defend Chicken McNuggets deserving a spot on the fried chicken spectrum…! As Eater says – Fried Chicken is EVERYWHERE.

Whether it is for breakfast with waffles or at any other time of the day, in a bun or biscuit OR all on it’s own, not only is fried chicken Fun Food but all (!) accompanying foods ( e.g. potato salad!) are ALSO Fun Foods.
