Fried chicken may be strongly associated with indulgent Southern comfort cuisine and heartwarming soul food, but you can find the crispiest, tastiest bites all over the country, from Nashville hot chicken smothered in spicy sauce to filling sandwiches loaded with slaw and even sweet and savory combinations like chicken and waffles.
According to a list compiled by Taste of Home, the best friend chicken in all of Washington can be found at Heaven Sent Fried Chicken. With a name like that, you can bet this Seattle restaurant knows what's what when it comes to delicious fried chicken. Available in both original and spicy, hungry diners can sample the "award-winning" chicken in various forms, from legs and thighs to strips and snack-sized bites.
Heaven Sent Fried Chicken is located at 14330 Lake City Way NE in Lake City.
Here's what Taste of Home had to say about the fried chicken served at this beloved establishment:
"Are the breaded birds at this Northern chain really sent from above? No... but they definitely taste like they are. With meat so tender it almost melts in your mouth, you'll understand why chef Ezell Stephens was flown to Chicago to make his famous fried chicken for Oprah herself."
