London
Best Fried Chicken in London.
Harry's top 10 fried chicken spots in London score 60–87 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing.
Crust and juice are a treaty: shatter on the outside, steam on the inside, seasoned all the way through rather than shouted on top. Harry checks whether the crust survives ten minutes and whether the brine did its work. Heat lamps are where fried chicken goes to file its retirement papers.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
