According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best fried chicken in Florida is served at Yardbird.

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

"While other menu items at James Beard–nominated Yardbird, such as lemon basil pasta and lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, might distract you, it's the chicken that steals the show. Lewellyn’s Fine Fried Chicken, served with honey sauce, was inspired by owner John Kunkel's grandmother’s recipe, and it takes 27 hours to prepare – so it's not surprising it's become the stuff of legend. Other menu highlights include chicken and waffles and whole fried chicken (served as pieces). There are six other locations across different states, as well as an outpost in Singapore."
