Yelp named the best fried chicken found in New Jersey

It’s not exactly the first food you think of when it comes to a summer feast but who doesn’t love a good batch of fried chicken?

It’s one of America’s favorite comfort food and it even has its own national day. Just two days after the Fourth of July, National Fried Chicken Day is the perfect time to take a break from the BBQ scene.

The best part about fried chicken is that you can eat it in multiple ways. Chicken and waffles is a fan favorite, there’s the classic fried chicken sandwich or just a bucket of actual fried chicken.
