Thrillist's favorite fried chicken is in a gas station

August 3, 2017

Thrillist revealed its favorite fried chicken concept in an article written by Ryan Joseph, according to a press release. Surprisingly, this particular chain can be found in gas stations.

"Chances are you won't find America's best-kept fast-food secret at your local strip mall," Joseph wrote. "No, you'll find this fried chicken franchise in more unexpected places, like the Rapid Stop gas station at East 55th and Payne Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, or at random rest-stop convenience stores across the South and Midwest. You might even encounter the crispy poultry and fluffy biscuits at a bodega in Brooklyn, spitting distance from a bustling subway stop."

The chain doesn't receive much popularity, even though it has over 2300 locations, according to the release. The concept was established in 1989 by a convenience store owner, and today brings its Cajun-style chicken to 41 states, American Samoa and Malaysia.
