The long holiday weekend may be over, but guess what: Today is National Fried Chicken Day! This holiday might have caught you off guard, but don't worry—we prepared this list of Valley dishes you can order to get your fried chicken fix.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
The Bayou in Bethlehem is the Valley's twist on southern cooking. Their buttermilk-fried chicken comes with bread-and-butter pickles and a sweet mashed marshmallow brulee. If your mouth isn't already watering, The Bayou also serves fried frog's legs in a buttermilk herb emulsion.
Noellie's Famous Wings
Pita King in Allentown serves Noellie's Famous Chicken Wings in 12, 24 and 36 count. Order them boneless or bone-in in Hot, Mild, BBQ, Spicy BBQ, Mango BBQ, Sweet and Spicy, Caribbean Inferno or Garlic. Vegetarians, try the fried cauliflower served with tahini sauce and pita bread.
Nashville HOT Chicken
At Two Rivers Brewing Company in Easton, the Nashville HOT Chicken is only an appetizer. These fried, boneless chicken tenders are covered in kicked-up seasoning and served with a side of sweet and sour pickles, green goddess dressing and white bread. Now, what to order as your entrée?
Southern Fried Chicken
For once, skip the wings at P.J. Whelihan's to show a fried chicken sandwich some love. The pub's Southern Fried Chicken consists of a buttermilk-fried chicken breast served with American cheese, spicy pickle aioli and pickle chips on a seeded potato roll.
Gluten-Free Fried Chicken
The Mint Gastropub in Bethlehem offers a gluten-free fried chicken that is breaded with jalapeño cornbread, covered in garlic-rosemary honey-butter sauce, served with a side of pickles and collard greens.
Chicken Parm Sandwich
At Hops, the chicken parm sandwich is a fried chicken breast, covered in marinara sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese on a kaiser roll with lettuce and tomato. Don't leave without trying their German chocolate cake!
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Jake's Wayback Burgers serves more than just beef. Their Buffalo Chicken burger is a fried spicy chicken patty served with lettuce, tomato and buffalo blue sauce on a potato roll. Don't forget a side of fries and a shake to complete the full Wayback experience.
