The Best Fried Chicken in the Seattle Area

"It’s only fitting that Cookie’s Country Chicken has found a home in Ballard, a neighborhood with strong nautical ties. Owner Brian Chandler spent 10 years in the maritime industry, including a stint spent perfecting his fried chicken recipe while feeding oil industry crews in Louisiana. Chandler started Cookie’s as a pop-up, having a consistent spot in Pioneer Square. The new Ballard location includes more menu offerings, with spicy and regular chicken and sides like mashed potatoes with gravy, mac and cheese, and collard greens." - Eater Staff, Jade Yamazaki Stewart
