This Texas Only Chain Serves The Best Fried Chicken In The Whole State

Fried chicken is a classic American food thanks to places like KFC.

While KFC, Popeyes, Wendys, and others compete to see who has the best chicken sandwich, foodies know that the crispiest and juiciest fried chicken doesn't come from a fast food joint.

That's why food website Mashed looked high and low to find the best fried chicken in every state in the U.S. It looked at reviews, awards, recommendations, and did its own taste tests before compiling its list.

So where can you get the best drumstick in Texas?

It's Frenchy's Chicken in Harris County.

Here's what Mashed had to say about this regional chain:

If you're listing the best fried chicken joints in Texas, Frenchy's Chicken deserve to be at the head of the class. This restaurant was created by a native of New Orleans back in the 1960s. While fried chicken wasn't on the original menu, these days, Frenchy's Chicken is known primarily for its delicious fried chicken. Pick up one of their Family Boxes on your way home, and you'll be greeted with wide smiles at the dinner table.
