Believe it or not, the Queen City has become something of a fried chicken hot spot over the past several years. Four new eateries boasting fried tenders and hot chicken have popped up in the last year, joining a multitude of established joints that have been feeding the hearts, souls and mouths of the Southern-loving Cincinnatians for decades.
From hole-in-the-wall gems to hot new spots and classic joints we know and love, these are your best bets for some damn good fried chicken.
