Best fried chicken in the Detroit area?

[rjk]

I've got a taste for some good fried chicken.
Where should I go this weekend?

It's a bonus if they have good mac & cheese

Chicken Shack for me but they don't sport any mac & cheese nor do they carry mashed potatoes.

True, but they still have the best side of any restaurant.

Those broasted potatoes lathered in butter.

Pollo Chapin on Junction n. of West Vernor Highway is reputed to have great juicy fried chicken and Mac & cheese spiced up with chopped jalapenos. Metro Times has a review online.

I hate to be the grump, but can't we revive ONE food thread to ask what is the best, Chicken, Chinese, Hamburger, Wings, Pita, Thai, Steak, Lebanese, Irish, Egyptian, Polish, Slider, BBQ, Ethiopian, Tripe, Coney's, Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Tea, Dinner , 2AM Fast food crams AND Omlette bars that happen weekly? A new thread every two days kinda crowd's other topics.

Thank you, and don't throw food. Tip you're waitresses. I'm here till Sunday.

And I gotta imagine if they did they would be AWESOME!

If it's just fried chicken, carry out - Amish Chicken in the Gratiot Central Market

Chicken Shack is broasted, right? Is broasted the same as fried? Either way, I like it and the potatoes.

[One Shot]

I don't think broasted is fried. But their chicken has crispy skin and juicy meat. Not really greasy.
They have a website and I highly recommend them.
But they are not a FRIED chicken place as this thread intends.

I love Chicken Shack for their ribs and potatoes. But for fried chicken, you gotta get to Lee's in Plymouth.

If the Colonel had their recipe, he would have been a General.

Popeye's. Love that spice

[Dbest]

Actually Lee's Famous Recipe is a variation of the Colonel Sanders recipe. Lee Cummings is the nephew of Colonel Sanders. He went on the road with his uncle selling spice mix [[KFC secret recipe) and pressure cookers in 1952.The rest is history. I'm not a big fan of either of those over-spiced brands. They are both too greasy as well. I think both are lucky not have to compete with Chicken Shack nation wide. Their chicken is far superior...

I f$*@#g love Chicken Shack.

[Downriviera]

Wherever I go for chicken I always order 4 fried chickens and a coke ala Jake Blues just to see the clerks reaction.

Brosted is a combination of roasted and broiled, I think.

A broaster is a combination of a pressure cooker and a deep fryer.
