  1. 1

    The Busy Bee

    West End

    Open since 1947 — Atlanta Magazine's #1 and a perennial Infatuation pick. The segregation-era Black-owned institution whose yardbird defines the Atlanta style.

  2. 2

    Mothers Best Fried Chicken

    Decatur

    The Infatuation's top Atlanta fried chicken — a Decatur counter whose bird snaps through the skin into juicy meat.

  3. 3

    Hop's Chicken

    Old Fourth Ward

    The Infatuation calls Ponce City Market's Hop's 'the prototypical example of what good fried chicken should be' — snappy, well-seasoned skin over juicy meat.

  4. 4

    The Colonnade

    Morningside

    Old-school Cheshire Bridge supper club — named by both The Infatuation and Atlanta Magazine as one of the city's definitive fried-chicken plates.

    The General Muir

    Emory Point

    NYC-deli-style restaurant whose fried chicken landed on both Atlanta Magazine's top ten and The Infatuation's best-of list.
