December 26, 2013. Ridgeland, Mississippi. Fried Chicken.

Today, Ken and I ate the best fried chicken we have ever tasted, all while sitting in the truck by the side of a road.   Our plan was to get to Edwards, then have lunch, as we had an appointment to look at another farm property at 2:00.    When we got to Edwards, we discovered that they have no restaurants, but we discovered a service station with a sign for fried chicken so we went in.

For $8.00 we bought 5 pieces of chicken which included  two rolls.    We found a spot beside the rural road and ate our fried chicken.  Now perhaps we were hungry but the chicken tasted better the more we ate.    That chicken tasted delicious.  It was a bit spicy and very tender and juicy.   Of course, we were a mess.  I dropped pieces of fried chicken all over my skirt but I didn't care a bit.  That chicken was worth all the stains.

So just north of Highway 20,  at exit 19 on highway 22, you can find this small service station making the best fried chicken in the world.   Some days you just get lucky, even if you must eat in the truck.
