There’s just something about the heat of summer that makes us want fried chicken. It makes us think of graduation parties, big gatherings, and picnics at Schenley. Put some on a waffle, and we’re always in for brunch! Or give us a hot chicken sandwich to test how much spice we can handle. No matter which way you prefer your fried chicken, we guarantee there’s a restaurant in Pittsburgh serving it up just the way you like it.
Classic Fried Chicken
Now, when we say “classic” we mean fried chicken on its own. With sides, of course, because what’s fried chicken without sides?? But these are the spots to check out when you just want a good old fried chicken fix.
