Harold's Fried Chicken

One of my favorite fall foods is fried chicken. With fall knocking on our doorsteps, now is the perfect time to find the best fried chicken restaurant in Peoria.

The Qualities of Good Fried Chicken
The qualities I look for in delectable fried chicken are simple by sometimes missed. The first required quality is a crispy outside. If fried chicken is soggy, you might as well bake some chicken for dinner because it will taste better and be healthier. The second required quality is a tasty breading. Chicken tastes like chicken. When I buy fried chicken, I look for a tasty breading that compliments the chicken flavor well.  This required quality can be subjective, but usually it is easy to identify a tasty breading. The final quality that is required for good fried chicken is a nice juicy breast. Nobody wants dry chicken, so I shouldn’t need to explain why this requirement exists. 

Harold's Fried Chicken
Harold’s Fried Chicken checks all of these requirements off and more. First, the crispy outside. Let me tell you, this chicken has the most delightful crispy outside. When you crunch into this chicken, the biggest smile will quickly follow. The breading at Harold’s should be as valuable as the Crusty Crab secret formula. It's the bomb. The crunchy and tasty outside is followed by a nice juicy breast. It’s truly a party in your mouth. 

The next time you are looking for a good fall lunch or dinner, visit Harold’s.

Pro tip: Be careful. The location is sketchy.
