Fried chicken is an American dish which involves covering chicken in flour or a batter and then pan frying or deep frying it. Fried chicken originated in Scotland, however Scottish immigrants brought it to the Southern United States, which is where the name Southern Fried Chicken comes from. In the US, fried chicken has been stereotypically associated with African Americans. There are a couple of reasons for this, the dish was popular among African slaves during the civil war, as chickens were generally the only animals they were allowed have.
