Fried chicken is having a moment. In January, popular burger chain Shake Shack released a fried chicken sandwich to much fanfare. To showcase its new Nashville Hot Chicken to the media, Kentucky Fried Chicken hosted a cocktail party in New York the same month. And at last week's South Beach Wine & Food Festival, the Chicken Coupe event saw several chefs serve their own versions of the fried dish. To bring a piece (or a few pieces) of the trend to meetings and events, here are five places to order the Southern-style dish.
