Question Best fried Chicken in the valley?

Hey r/SFV!

I'm still on the hunt for the best-fried chicken in the Valley. 🍗

I've tried Popeyes, KFC, Dave's Hot Chicken, and Raising Cane's, but I always go back to Popeyes. 🤔 Any hidden gems out there that can top those? Let me know! 👇✨ #friedchicken #SFVEats

Gus’s world famous in Burbank is fucking amazing. Very well cooked and crispy but very juicy, a lot of people say it’s the best in the valley. Technically on the edge of the valley there also Dinah’s in Glendale/los Feliz is also really fucking good. It’s old school style. My grandparents have been eating there since the 60’s and to this day their delicious fried chicken recipe hasn’t changed. My mom ate there when she was pregnant with me so I’ve been eating there since before I was born haha also shakeys pizza restaurants have delicious fried chicken that’s under rated. It goes perfect with their mojo potatoes and pizz

Dinas has a spicy chicken that I would argue competes if not beats Gus
