Seattle, WA
Harry currently ranks 10 fried chicken spots in Seattle, scoring 43–85 on the Harry Score. Prices run $$ to $$$.
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 the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
