What is National Fried Chicken Day?

National Fried Chicken Day celebrates one of the world's most beloved comfort foods, enjoyed at restaurants, home kitchens, and gatherings alike. Fried chicken has ancient roots—it appears in Roman cookbooks—but took its iconic form in America through a blend of Scottish and West African traditions. Once a delicacy, it became a global staple after the Second World War.
