Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best fried chicken joint in Nebraska:

"Dirty Birds does something incredible to its chicken. First, the meat is brined for two days in liquid leftover from pickling green beans and cucumbers. It's then coated in batter, fried to a perfect golden brown, and finished with your choice of sauce, from Nashville hot to garlic honey. This process achieves a crispy, salty exterior with moist, tender meat – and customers can't get enough of it. The chicken is served with pickles, sauce, a side, and a biscuit, or you can order it in a brioche sandwich."
