A HERITAGE WE CAN BE PROUD OF...
The American English expression "fried chicken" was first recorded in the 1830s, and frequently appears in American cookbooks of the 1860s and 1870s. When it was introduced to the American South, fried chicken became a common staple. Try it with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce!
