If you are craving a classic chicken dinner, fried chicken and corn are always a good combo. As a kid, I remember loving KFC’s fried chicken and corn-on-the-cob meal. Unfortunately, the fast-food chains don’t have that whole cob wrapped in a yellow plastic bag side anymore, but they do have corn. A handful of other chains also sell the crowd-pleasing combo. Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best fried chicken and corn, according to diners.
Church’s Texas Chicken serves golden, crispy chicken. “I like that it’s not greasy, but crisp and tasty!” one fan says. “Went to church’s the other day and I gotta say it was the best fast food fried chicken I’ve had in a long time. Better than Popeyes and KFC imo,” another added. Some locations have corn on the cob. “Church’s Chicken corn on the cob is really good,” one Facebook user says.
KFC serves juicy fried chicken pieces in its iconic red-and-white bucket. One diner calls the KFC bucket experience “a blast.” Order corn as a side. “Just gonna put it out there, KFC corn is better than the chicken,” says a Facebooker. “I hate corn but even I agree it’s better than the fries as well,” another agrees.
Cracker Barrel serves homestyle fried chicken smothered in gravy, and diners keep coming back for it. One Reddit user writes that it is “very good,” adding that the poultry pieces are “light, flavorful and juicy.” Another adds, “I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. And the honey drizzled on it knocked it out of the park. And the corn side is simple but a favorite, made with whole-kernel corn and a touch of butter.
