I do love food and do love to eat.

What I do love most about food is when the food is super easy to make, when it’s delicious, and when it doesn’t cost a lot of money to make it.

When I think about those silly requirements, I think about fried chicken or I should say mouth-watering fried chicken.

Over the past couple of years, I have eaten different styles and flavors of fried chicken. Some are ok and some are really good that I dreamt about them quite often (of course, not anymore).

I reached out to my blogger friends and asked them if they have any mouth-watering fried chicken recipes they like to share.

I was shocked by the number of different fried chicken styles and flavors that I got from there. I had to trim the list down to just 8 since I want to just feature the best of the best.
