These variations on fried chicken show how beloved the meal is to many. So much so that people love to see it remixed in order to give the dish a fresh perspective. Although it might not appear to have as devout a following as bacon, the southern recipe is just as versatile. It can be used in both savory and sweet dishes to the delight of many. It is, however, surprising to see that there are not as many products complementing the food item as there are for bacon.
From chocolate fried chicken to fried chicken pizza crusts, many restaurants and experimental cooks have found ways to create exciting variations on fried chicken. It will be interesting to see what comes next.
