dishes that are offered with the chicken, how many and how good they are? With all these things to consider, we decided we had to just consider the chicken or else our heads would explode trying to compare considering all those factors. Me personally, I lke a big juicy breast with lot’s of crispy, tasty breading. But then again, some times I enjoy a wing, thigh and drumstick, or maybe a nice boneless breast. Decisions, decisions. How could I choose “THE BEST”? Who cares what I think? We decided it would be best to include our readers in this quest. We went back to FaceBook and asked YOU what you look for in your fried chicken, what kind of bread goes with it and your favorite side dishes, because after all YOUR opinion is what really counts… What do you look for in your fried chicken? Kathi: I don't want skin on mine. It can still be crusty without it, and taste better, in my opinion. Linda: My mom fixed fried chicken and gravy and biscuits for breakfast for us!! MMMMM! I Asked for that at a restaurant one morning and the Lady said she remembered having that and said now that is a country breakfast!! Tom: I look for some chicken in my fried chicken! lol (< Oh... a wise guy!) Shannon: Crispy crust and the chicken moist not dry! My mama made the best fried chicken ever! Wish she was still here to make it! Crystal: Locally pasture raised chickens please. Tina: I want it really crispy on the outside and extra juicy on the inside. Lilly: I like mine with a little hotness to it. Add some cayenne pepper to the breading. Nat: A big fat drumstick, that's crunchy and makes the fat run down my arm. Laura: I don't want bones or The Village Restaurant 4131 E First St Blue Ridge (706) 632-2277 White Columns Restaurant 200 Industrial Blvd, (Piggly Wiggly Plaza) Ellijay (706) 273-7135 Yellow Jacket Restaurant 2755 Blue Ridge Dr, (Past Mercier Orchards) Blue Ridge (706) 492-3475 Davis House Restaurant 449 Industrial Blvd (In Spring Plaza) Ellijay (706) 276-7340 Honesty is the best policy.
