An American's love for food is unmatched. Whether it's BBQ, Mexican, or hot dogs - you name it, we have a passion for it.

Just like finding the best burger in every state, Americans want to know where to find the best fried chicken in their state. Luckily, Mashed did the heavy lifting and found where to get the best fried chicken in all 50 states.

Here is what the report had to say about fried chicken in the United States:

"Look around, and you'll notice that fried chicken is ubiquitous on restaurant menus these days. KFC serves approximately 60 million buckets of its chicken in the United States per year, and fast food fried chicken sandwiches have never been in such high demand."

To find the best fried chicken restaurant around, Mashed looked at reviews, awards, recommendations and even participated in "hands-on taste testing."

So, where can Missourians find the best fried chicken in their state?

Grace Meat + Three.

Here is what the report had to say about Missouri's best fried chicken place:

"Grace Meat + Three is well-known in St. Louis for having the best fried chicken in all of Missouri. Pick Rick's Famous Fried Chicken, and you're guaranteed to be enthralled. It comes with house pickles, and you can opt to have it Original or Hot and Spicy. If you enjoy spiciness, don't hesitate to go the spicy route. It's fabulously enjoyable from the first bite to the final bite. The Original fried chicken won't let you down, but it's not quite on the same level as the Hot and Spicy version."
