Would you believe me if I recommended Johnnie's Foodmaster at Broadway and 16?

Johnny D's fried chicken (w/sausage gravy) is pretty good, if you gotta go Somerville.

Andrea's House of Pizza on Boston Ave in Medford (right next to Tufts) has some of the best fried chicken around, I think they deliver to Davis...

Wings Over Somerville is pretty awesome, but it might not be quite what you want.

I seem to recall B Side Lounge had a really fried chicken, which I sampled at some point this summer. Get there fast, as it's going to become something else soon...

Popeye's???? Pull-eaze! We're talking *fried chicken* here, which when done well is a food of the gods.

When Bob the Chef's closed, they took perhaps the best f.c. in the area with them; it was also available with waffles, which was an extremely pleasant nutritional train wreck.

But all is not lost - the Summer Shack over by Alewife offers Jasper's Fried Chicken, which is darn good stuff, better than all but the absolute elite. I've tried it at the Back Bay Summer Shack and it's not as good; the Alewife location is better all around in my experience.

Also - in the Porter Exchange building, one of the Japanese stalls makes an excellent boneless fried chicken; the Japanese like to use boneless thighs and coat them with a batter that's very much in line with American fried chicken. It's served with mayonnaise for dipping, which you're free to ignore if you want, and potato salad; I've found that it can definitely satisfy a craving. I don't remember the name of the stall, but if you go in the Mass Ave entrance, and go to the central corridor with Citibank behind you and the sushi place in front of you, it's the one just to your left that fronts on the central corridor.

Good for you for seeking out the real thing! And I, too, am eager to know the whereabouts of Mrs. Jones in Dorchester!
