Fried chicken is the heartbeat of soul food, and we treat it that way in our kitchen. We marinate each piece so the seasoning sinks past the crispy coating and into the meat, then dip it in buttermilk and flour right before it hits the fryer. The result is that crackling, golden crust you can hear when you bite in, wrapped around juicy, well-seasoned chicken that tastes like it came from a family reunion platter.

This is the plate you order when you want to put your phone down and really enjoy your meal. The flavor leans savory with a touch of warm spice-not fiery, just enough to keep you reaching for one more piece. Paired with our classic sides, it turns into a complete comfort spread: think mac and cheese, yams, collard greens, or potato salad building out your own "Sunday dinner" any day of the week.

Fried chicken travels beautifully, too, so it is just as welcome on your table at home as it is in our dining room. Whether you are grabbing a quick solo meal at the bar, feeding the family, or planning a group feast, this is that familiar favorite everyone can agree on. If you are new to AmericanSoul Kitchen & Bar and wondering where to start, our Fried Chicken is the dish that tells you exactly who we are-simple, soulful, and made to be shared.
