This Fried Chicken Restaurant In Tennessee Has Food So Good You’ll Ask For Seconds… And Thirds

This history of fried chicken is a bit murky, and while many have staked their claim on this delicious dish, the South has spoken up and declared ownership. All that being said, one thing we know for sure is that Southern fried chicken is delightfully tasty. If you need to feed your craving for this amazing dish, Mama’s Chicken Kitchen in Gatlinburg, TN, has you covered with some of the best fried chicken around.

Located in Gatlinburg just minutes away from the Great Smoky Mountains, Mama’s Chicken Kitchen was established in 2016. However, the restaurant has roots dating back long before that. If the name sounds familiar, you may have been to Mama’s Farmhouse in Pigeon Forge.

Mama’s Chicken Kitchen was born out of Mama’s Farmhouse and the same homestyle fried chicken everyone knows and loves is sold here. Where the farmhouse restaurant is meant to be a sit-down family-style place to dine, Mama’s Chicken Kitchen hones in on everyone's favorite crispy dish.

The restaurant offers a variety of chicken options as well. Try the chicken wings -- whether you're in the mood for some spicy buffalo wings or kickin' bourbon flavors, your taste buds are in for quite a treat!
