Yelp Elites Claim This is the Best Fried Chicken in Indiana
The battle for the best fried chicken title continues in Indiana as Yelp Elites unveil their new favorite. Growing up in southern Indiana, fried chicken was a staple at my house.

I've had a lot of great fried chicken over the years, so it's quite hard to pick a favorite.

That said, one restaurant in Indiana is now said to have the best fried chicken in the state.
