Beloved Nebraska Eatery Serves The 'Best Fried Chicken' In The State

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 Nebraska, 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 Nebraska has to offer.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best fried chicken in Nebraska is served at Dirty Birds in Omaha.

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

"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."
