Do you enjoy eating fried chicken but feel guilty when you eat too much of it?
Well then National Fried Chicken Day was created just for you.
See today as a ‘cheat’ day as it might be the only day you are allowed to eat as much pieces of chicken as you like.
From as early as the 15th century, Europeans have been eating fried chicken. The initial recipe of covering meat in flour and spices before cooking it comes from them as they believed it helped to seal in the flavour.
Celebrate by ordering chicken at your favourite restaurant or try out a new recipe.
