Great Fried Chicken in the San Francisco Bay Area

firebus's picture

In no particular order. Only including places I've eaten. Tell me where else they have awesome fried chicken in the Bay Area and I'll go eat there.

  • Little Skillet. Is it as good at Farmer Brown?
  • The Front Porch. West Indies/Soul Food fusion. Corn breading on the chicken. This is also the only place I know in SF that serves doubles.
  • Oriental BBQ Chicken Town. I think the O.B. in the name is an homage to the Korean lager. For a long time it was just kids, but now the old folks are coming in too so I think it might hang around.
  • Casa Orinda. It's right next to Orinda BART, has a Spanish name, Western decor, an Italian-American menu straight out of the 1950s and fantastic fried chicken. It is an anomaly.
  • Bakesale Betty. Yeah, yeah. Everyone loves the chicken sandwich. (Except for Gavin Newsome who likes the chicken sandwich at Little Paris.) Best on days when the coleslaw is super spicy.

Don't forget Jody's in Albany

Jody's on lower Solano in Albany does fried chicken on Saturdays only. We should meet up there and eat some to see if it's worthy of your list...I'm guessing it must be as Jody seems like he might be the best chicken fryer in all the land...
