Ste Jormur @stejormur.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Some EXTREMELY important lunchtime data analysis: We all love those weird independent fried chicken shops that name themselves in the style of KFC after random US states. But how many of each state are there in the UK? And where are they? 🧵 3534198
vinniegerstroke.bsky.social @vinniegerstroke.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I would advise you all to stay away from "Unlucky Fried Kitten"...😳 010
leearizuno.bsky.social @leearizuno.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I swear there was a Jersey Chicken in South London in the 2010s. They must have run out of states, or even islands. 000
Rocket Boy - TNG @rvcassell.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I saw a Kenny Roger's Roasters in Doha or Abu Dhabi. I was kinda jet lagged. 010
studpuppet.bsky.social @studpuppet.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I believe you may be missing a vital metric in your analysis. You should also be measuring how many of these shops had their logos designed by Morris Casanova. peckedclean.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/c...peckedclean.wordpress.comCornering the Market: Fried Chicken Shop SignageNext time you stagger drunkenly through the door of a Chicken Cottage of Morleys (the south London chain which installs bulletproof screens in its outlets to separate customer from staff) spare a t… 0160
Ólafur Waage @olafurw.com · 15/06/2026There is/was one in Sweden, NFC, I remember it in Malmö years ago. According to the comments Nordstan Fried Chicken, it's a mall in Gothenburg. www.reddit.com/r/funny/comm...reddit.comFrom the funny community on Reddit: My friend Theodore took a photo of this in Sweden!Explore this post and more from the funny community 000
Rachel Happe @rhappe.bsky.social · 15/06/2026And only 1 Indian fried chicken… which is the best I have ever had 😏 000
Richard Turkowitsch @richardtrk.bsky.social · 15/06/2026This feels like a spiritual cousin of NZ having a chain of burger restaurants called Burger Wisconsin. 020
Rob Jacques @knutcrosswords.bsky.social · 15/06/2026The Rhode Island Red Chicken Shop seems to be a tap-in 030
Murderers @patmamonkey.bsky.social · 15/06/2026There is a small chain in and around Boston, MA called Kennedy Fried Chicken and it’s the best of both worlds. Your brain sees “Kentucky” but then double takes and the Kennedy association leaves you shaking your head and nodding at the same time 040
Subfusc @subfuscous.org · 15/06/2026I used to use New Jersey Fried Chicken as a joke name to explain the naming of UK chicken shops to American friends...until I actually thought to check. 010

JonnyExists @jonnyexists.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I pass Ohio Fried Chicken on the way to work, always thought it sounded like the blandest possible chicken. 140
Ste Jormur @stejormur.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Google Maps has: 1 each of Alabama, Carolina, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, N Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Washington & W Virginia 2 of Alaska & Nevada 3 of Arizona & Mississippi 4 of Florida, N Jersey & Texas 6 of California & Kansas 8 of Maryland & N York 11 of Tennessee 8584
Kay And Skittles @kayandskittles.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I think covid killed Kansas Fried Chicken in Manchester but shout out to the absolute goat. 010
Jonn Elledge @jonnelledge.bsky.social · 15/06/20261,500 words and three maps for CityMetric on my desk by thursday pls 2330
Patrick Dalton @patrickdalton.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I like the ones where they call themselves something that vaguely sounds like a state such as "Kenkey Fried Chicken" which calls to mind Kentucky & also, to me at least, the author Ken Kesey. 110
Alistair King @alistairking.bsky.social · 15/06/2026My favourite, which I think I saw on a visit to Manchester many years ago, was McTucky Fried Chicken. 5130
Jared, Fried Man 🇺🇦 @silkscreenfiend.bsky.social · 15/06/2026England couldn't handle Massachusetts Fried Chicken. (It's seagull.) 1130
The Wilder Way: Starring Patrick Wymark @harrydobermann.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I was intrigued by "Alaska Fried Chicken" which (knowing nothing of Alaska) sounds the most tone deaf of cultural appropriations. Looking it up on Trip Advisor I was amused to see the most recent comment is "chicken was cold." 1703
enguslad.bsky.social @enguslad.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Our nearest is called Lego chicken. What's that about ? 100
elrondcupboard.bsky.social @elrondcupboard.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Ok but what about Ferfect Fried Chicken? 000
Patrick @atomicpopwi.bsky.social · 16/06/2026I'm a bit hurt no one has claimed Wisconsin Fried Chicken. There is no such dish of course, but what an opportunity to bring cheese and fried chicken together at last! Deep fried cheese curds paired with fried chicken would be a hit! 000
Panther Raccoon @pantherraccoon.bsky.social · 15/06/2026There’s a YouTube channel called the pengest munch where a guy reviews a lot of them 020
Kilgore Sprout @kilgoresprout.bsky.social · 15/06/2026If you wanted to check another dataset I believe I saw a similar thread using the hygiene ratings 010
londonguy2309.bsky.social @londonguy2309.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Usually these places are found where there are a lot of Americans 000
Liam Hogan @liamjhogan.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Pretty sure similar musings brought "Alaskan Fried Chicken" to my attention a fair few (10?) years ago - glad to see it still exists! 000
Questing Vole @thequestingvole.bsky.social · 15/06/2026There used to be one in... I think Gravesend, called Kent Bucket Fried Chicken which I love. 171
