Lee's Famous Recipe Country Chicken

I had to make a quick trip last week back to my place of birth, and when I think Kentucky, I think "fried chicken".  A quick online search for "best fried chicken in Louisville" and Lee's popped up.

I have to say, it was a really nice surprise.  Lee's looks like any other fast food joint in this town, but the fried chicken was absolutely outstanding.  If I recall, there were three options for the fried chicken and I went with the original or classic.  I ordered the "snack" which was a leg and thigh and biscuit.  The chicken was incredibly moist and tender and it was fried to a golden, crispy goodness.  Frankly, it reminded me of how KFC used to be, many eons ago.

I cannot vouch for anything other than the chicken.  I did not get a chance to eat the biscuit.

Next time I am in town, this place will be on my rotation.

I love chicken. You love chicken. We all love chicken. When something is good, what does it taste like? F%$#ing chicken, that's what! However, if you've ever had LEE'S you might find yourself wondering if the phrase should be altered a bit to reflect this better tasting version of the bird.

Founded by the business partner of Col. Sanders, LEE's chicken is a much smaller fast food chain. It's so small in fact that, to this date, I've only been to one location, but I hear tale there's more out there.

The chicken is more than finger licking good, after a meal, you might even consider gnawing off an appendage or two. The sides remain unhealthified, with superbly seasoned green beans, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, corn on the cob and even macaroni & cheese. Oh yeah, the biscuits... sorry... had a moment there. The biscuits might as well be god's love in an edible form. Forget that nasty wafer at church, this is the bread of heaven.

LEE's is simply a must, Grab a gallon or two of sweet tea if you're taking it home to the wolf pack.

PS Chicken livers and gizzards are still on the menu, I have no idea what a gizzard is... but they taste delicious.
