National Fried Chicken Day: Celebrate with the Best Fried Chicken In New Jersey

Fried chicken is, for me, a comfort food. It's relaxing, comfy, and delicious. Fried chicken has to have the crispy and crunchy coating that makes it a delicious, eat-with-your-hands kinda food. No sense in not being crunchy and crispy because if not, it's just not fried chicken.
