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 Texas, 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 Texas has to offer.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best fried chicken in Texas is served at Mike's Chicken in Dallas.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best place to order a basket of fried chicken in the state:
"Mike's Chicken is renowned for its crispy yet tender chicken. The menu features every part of the chicken you could think of, in a variety of plate sizes from two-piece white breast meat to a half chicken. Everything is served with a choice of two sides (think creamy corn, fries, and baked beans) and a house-made biscuit or Texas toast. The chicken can also be customized with extra heat, if you prefer."
