Your A-List: Best Fried Chicken
Although Texas isn’t officially “the South,” we do like our home cookin’. And nothing says down home comfort food like a nice plate of fried chicken.
The winner of the Your A-List poll for Best Friend Chicken goes to Top Notch, with 25 percent of the vote. The Burnett Road eatery with the recognizable vintage sign prides itself on its charcoal grilling, but as Statesman food critic Dale Rice can attest, the chicken is “crisp and non-oily as the onion rings, with juicy, tender, flavorful meat beneath that golden crust.”
What else could a Southerner (or Texan) ask for?
