If fried chicken is your comfort food, mark Sunday, July 6, on your calendar. That's National Fried Chicken Day.

Fried chicken is one of the most-loved foods in the U.S. – along with hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, fried chicken ranks among the most popular entrée in The Most Popular American Dishes, YouGov's regularly updated online poll. Each earned 83% popularity among American adults; however, side dishes french fries (85%) and mashed potatoes (84%) did rate a small helping higher. Chicken has also become the preferred meat dish in the U.S. as consumption of chicken is up about 34% from 77.4 pounds per person, on average, in the year 2000 to an estimated 103.7 pounds in 2025, according to the National Chicken Council. During that time, total red meat consumption (including beef, pork, mutton and lamb) declined about 7% from 120.2 pounds to 110.8 pounds. There's more chicken celebrations to come with National Chicken Finger Day (July 27) and National Chicken Wing Day (July 29), but why wait?
