"THE CHICKEN COOP" on Asylum Avenue in Hartford. The owners also had restaurants in Bridgeport and New Britain, CT that served the same Fried Chicken and Onion Rings that were deemed next-to-none by patrons lucky enough to have experienced them.
NOTE: This recipe from Crisco’s “Good Eating Cookbook” and is offered as a next-best thing to The Chicken Coop's incomparable Fried Chicken.
