Kentucky Fried Chicken is a cornerstone of Southern American cuisine, featuring chicken pieces marinated, then breaded or battered and deep-fried until crispy on the outside and juicy inside. While rooted in African American culinary traditions, the dish became especially associated with Kentucky and Georgia, where it evolved into a cultural and comfort food icon. Kentucky stands out thanks to Harland Sanders, who in the 1930s–40s developed a signature blend of 11 herbs and spices and made Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) a national and global symbol of Southern-style fried chicken.

Common variations include Nashville Hot Chicken (Tennessee), buttermilk fried chicken, and spicy fried chicken served with biscuits, slaw, or waffles.
