There are certain foods that feel synonymous with summer. Cheese-smothered hamburgers and mustard-slathered hotdogs are obvious choices (you can also opt for ketchup, if you so desire). Buttery, salty, corn on the cob (even if you eat it with a drill) finds it way onto many a summer table. Ice cream is no stranger to a sticky heatwave. But above them all, fried chicken is one of the most perfect of all summer foods. We’re talking about crispy, greasy, shockingly-comforting fried chicken. The kind of fried chicken you can bring cold to the lake, eat steaming hot on the porch, or bring in a tupperware to literally any summer picnic.

Hungry people all over the country will be enjoying this mouth-watering treat today, July 6, as we celebrate National Fried Chicken Day. Restaurants from coast to coast will rally around this important summer holiday with deals galore. Check out some of the best below.
