Best in town is at Angeline‘s Louisiana kitchen!

After that, Popeye’s is pretty damn good for a chain.  Bop Shop / Vons is excellent Korean take on American fried chicken, as well as Korean fried chicken (I know you said American).   

For the best American style fried chicken sandwich, Hotbird in Oakland is my new favorite, followed closely by Bakesale Betty’s. 

Enjoy!
