Fried chicken may be strongly associated with indulgent Southern comfort cuisine and heartwarming soul food, but you can find the crispiest, tastiest bites all over the country, from Nashville hot chicken smothered in spicy sauce to filling sandwiches loaded with slaw and even sweet and savory combinations like chicken and waffles.
According to a list compiled by Taste of Home, the best friend chicken in all of South Carolina can be found at Yogi Bear's Honey Fried Chicken in Hartsville. This popular restaurant serves up some of the best fried chicken you'll ever have, largely thanks to its unique batter and the sweet honey you can dip it in. Yogi Bear's Honey Fried Chicken, located at 514 S. Fifth Street, has a 4.0 star rating on Google and more than 1,300 reviews. Learn more at the restaurant's website.
Here's what Taste of Home had to say about the fried chicken served at this beloved establishment:
"One word: thick. That's the best way to describe the crust of this famous fried chicken, which tastes even better dipped in syrupy honey. It's heavy, too, because the extra-dense exterior keeps all of the savory juices trapped inside."
