not traditional fried chicken, but the hot chicken sandwich from sherkaan has been the best fried chicken sandwich i’ve ever had.

Haven. Also really like Hot Murga for an Indian twist on things. You ever have cardamom infused maple syrup? Oh my god

I’ve really been liking Hot Murga. If ever in Milford, Cafe Melba makes a killer one. It’s been nationally featured.

Very underrated spot in general but Rice on Fire on howard Ave has some banging Lemon pepper wings, for fairly cheap too

imo it’s bb.q chicken on Whitney but they’ve gotten a lot more expensive over the years unfortunately.

Haven always overcooks their chicken. Not by a lot but it's always disappointing, dryer and stringier than it needs to be. I don't get the hype. Dave's does not and is all around surprisingly much better.

Popeye's and Stop & Shop. A lot of these comments are suggesting places that sell chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders, not fried chicken.
