But Fried chicken has a fascinating history to be told; It is said that deep-fried chicken immigrated from Scottish tradition to the southern United States. After the introduction, the dish became a staple food for South Americans. Slowly seasonings and spices were added to the traditional recipe to improvise the flavor. The combination of adding spice is believed to be originated from West African tradition. Fried Chicken was an expensive dish until World War II; later the price lowered due to mass production. The consumption of chicken gradually increased from the year 1960. In 2016, Americans consumed around 91 pounds of chicken each. Relish this dish in many variations and with some best deals.
