According to Daily Republic writer C.W. Plunkett, “fried chicken has been around for hundreds of years. It was a recipe that was first brought to this country by Scottish immigrants, and then it was later perfected by cooks in the South who added flavorful and unique spices to their coating mix”… and we couldn’t agree more!

What an honor to be quoted by the fine people of Smithfield’s Chicken ‘n bar-b-q… thanks very much! In all honesty, I enjoy eating your chicken the best while simply sitting in my back yard, having a nice, cold beer, and listening to a ball game (and hopefully the Giants win!). And I never forget the potato salad!
Once again, thanks for the quote… and the chicken!
Honestly, my favorite place to enjoy Smithfield’s chicken is in the restaurant. Ours in Henderson has the most friendly staff who go out of their way to make our visit an enjoyable one.
Smithfields has always been a favorite place to take the family for Chicken as well as BBQ. Great chicken, good service and lots of sides and awesome TEA! Can’t be beat.
the best fried chicken place is smithfield’s it is never oily and always hot and fresh.it is the best chicken i have ever had.jacksonville nc claims to have others but i am telling you now you go try some of smithfield’s and you will never go to another place.i get the potao salad and cole slaw and bbq combo plate but i first eat my chicken and then if i do not have room i put up my bbq for a sandwich later.i will be glad when they move to this side of town
Smithfields is best, and we’ll be having it for dinner tonight to celebrate National Fried Chicken Day!
The “other” chicken places seem to be using very small birds these days, while Smithfields continues to be normal sized, big juicy pieces just like it would be if I cooked it myself! Thank you!
PS – Also love the fried pork skins.
