The Absolute Best Fried Chicken Joint In North Dakota
When you think of fried chicken, there's a pretty good chance your thoughts may turn towards KFC.
My family grew up on the occasional bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. There is something delicious about the secret herbs and spices added to the chicken batter that just can't be duplicated.
However, we have some other tasty fried chicken options across the state of North Dakota.
Some options you might want to consider right here in the Bismarck-Mandan area would be Big Boy, Pizza Ranch, Cashwise, Runway Express (Cenex), and numerous small-town cafe options across the state.
Our friends at Love Food recently ranked each state's BEST fried chicken joint.
Their selections are based on real user reviews, awards that these restaurants may have won, and first-hand experiences from the Love Food staff.
North Dakota's best golden dipped batter chicken fried to perfection goes to Brew Bird Restaurant in Fargo.
I've never had this fried chicken before. Have you? Here's what Love Food had to say about Brew Bird's fried chicken. "They focus on all things fried chicken (they even have many gluten-free items on the menu), and a long list of sauces to go alongside their chicken."
Brew Bird is known for their chicken tenders, and their chicken sandwiches are also very popular.
Brew Bird also has a 4.6-star rating on more than 700 Google reviews.
Brew Bird is located in north Fargo at 30 North University Drive, and they also have a patio for you to enjoy your fried chicken outdoors this spring and summer.
Sounds like a winner, winner chicken dinner to me.
