Some things in life are worth chasing: true love, lost luggage, and unbelievably good fried chicken.

Some eateries talk a big game, boasting "world-famous" wings that taste suspiciously like yesterday’s leftovers. But every once in a while, you stumble on a place (maybe it’s a roadside shack, maybe it’s a no-frills diner) that absolutely nails it. We’re talking crispy, golden skin that shatters like glass, juicy meat that drips flavor, and seasoning that whispers secrets to your taste buds.

Yeah, that kind of fried chicken. In Minnesota, there’s a restaurant dishing out poultry perfection, and LoveFood has tracked it down. No hype, no gimmicks, just honest-to-goodness fried chicken that might make you cancel your dinner plans for the rest of the week. So loosen your belt, grab some napkins, and let’s dig into the best fried chicken Minnesota has to offer.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best fried chicken in Minnesota is served at Wendy's House of SOUL in Minneapolis.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best place to order a basket of fried chicken in the state:

"At Wendy's House of SOUL the go-to order is the whole wings, served over fries with a side of house-made Soul Sauce – but there’s another standout you shouldn’t miss. Owner Wendy Puckett created the Soulroll to cleverly sneak veggies into her kids’ meals, and it’s since become a signature item. These crispy, deep-fried egg rolls are stuffed with a flavorful mix of soul food staples like greens, mac ’n’ cheese, and smoked meats – making them a must-try at this beloved spot."
