Get to know a little of the American tradition around Fried Chicken

A crispy fried chicken thigh or any other part of chicken made like this, for those who love chicken, it's just perfect! But, although crispy fried chicken is a dish that most Brazilians love, it has its tradition coming from the Americans and is also famous in the United States, so much so that a whole day was created just for it, more precisely the 6th. July, known as National Fried Chicken Day.

Despite all this tribute, stories and news tell that fried chicken originated in Scotland and the Scots took this delight to the North Americans when they began to settle in the south of the country around the 18th and 19th centuries. It was customary for these peoples to fry pieces of chicken in very hot fat to eat, in a simple way, and the idea spread to other regions of the country.

What used to be more of a snack, went further and just like for the Americans, gained new versions, being sold buckets of crispy fried chicken, hamburgers with fried chicken in the filling, portions of potatoes with chicken and these are just some of the many ways to consume this dish. Kentucky Fried Chicken, or as some know it, KFC, is a super famous network of fried chicken sales in the USA that is very loved.
