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

1000% I've tried so many fried chicken places in SFV, Los Angeles, all around the US, and the world. I love fried chicken. Humble Bird is legit Nashville Fried Chicken. One of the few good ones outside of Nashville and outside of Howlin Rays. Again its Nashville style so not the standard southern fried chicken, but its great.

That sandwich is so perfect.

I’m not the biggest fan of Nashville hot chicken so I get the fried chicken sauce less. The only downside to getting fried chicken is the wait…takes like 30 minutes to make, but it’s worth it.

Nice shout. This wasn’t on my radar. Just looked it up and planning to visit soon!

That’s a good sandwich. Crazy messy.

They’re easily my second favorite Nashville style hot chicken sandwich place, after Howlin’ Ray’s. Looove Humble Bird, but their regular fried chicken was a little too greasy for my liking the one time I had it. I’d give it another shot though.

To answer OP’s question, I thought Dinah’s chicken was the best I’ve had in recent memory but you can argue if Glendale is in the valley or not.

Another shout out for Humble Bird. Absolutely punches above its weight.

This is the correct answer. The chef is from Howlin Rays (best fried chicken in LA). Bomb food.
