Hoosier fried chicken · Indianapolis
Buttermilk-brined chicken, seasoned, breaded and fried to order in cast iron, the Hoosier standard threading Upland South and Black migration cooking through Indianapolis neighborhood rooms.
Indiana fried-chicken culture pulls from the Upland South and the Black South, transmitted through both white-flight migration and the Great Migration into Indianapolis neighborhoods. The pan-fried, cast-iron preparation predates the pressure-fried fast-food version and survives at independent rooms across the city.
