Chicken in the Rough, also known as Beverly's Chicken in the Rough, is a fried chicken restaurant chain and former franchise.
 It was one of the earliest restaurant chain franchises in the United States.
 Chicken in the Rough was founded by Beverly and Rubye Osborne in 1936 in Oklahoma City, and the restaurant's specialty half-fried chicken dish was also created in 1936.
 The dish itself was also referred to as "Chicken in the Rough", and consisted of a half fried chicken, shoestring potatoes and a biscuit with honey.
 Three restaurants presently serve the dish today, located in Port Huron, Michigan and Canadian neighbor Sarnia, Ontario.
 The chain's logo was an image of a rooster smoking a cigar and carrying a golf club.
 The chain also used a logo of "Chicken's Caddie", which depicted a chick acting as a golf caddie, stating "I'll gladly be fried for Chicken in the Rough".
Chicken fried bacon consists of bacon strips dredged in batter and deep fried, like chicken fried steak.
 It is an American dish that was introduced in Texas in the early 1990s.
 Frank Sodolak of Sodolak's Original Country Inn in Snook, Texas, states that he invented the dish; however, a similar recipe in the "Louisiana Cookery" cookbook by Mary Land uses salt pork, the bacon of its day.
 It is usually served as an appetizer with cream gravy or sausage gravy for dipping and sauce.
Nasi goreng pattaya, or simply nasi pattaya, is a Southeast Asian fried rice dish made by covering or wrapping chicken fried rice, in thin fried egg or omelette.
 The dish is believed to be originated from Malaysia, and today also commonly found in Indonesia and Singapore.
 It is often served with chili sauce, tomato ketchup, slices of cucumber, and "keropok".
"Chicken Fried" is a song by the Zac Brown Band, whose frontman Zac Brown co-wrote it with Wyatt Durrette.
 The song was first recorded in 2003 for the 2004 album "Home Grown".
 A second version was then released in 2006 by The Lost Trailers, whose version was released as a single but withdrawn from radio.
 Two years later, the Zac Brown Band re-recorded the song and released it as the first single from their album "The Foundation".
 In late 2008, it became their first chart single, as well as their first number-one hit on the "Billboard" country charts.
 The Zac Brown Band version was also featured in the 2008 movie "Witless Protection", starring Larry the Cable Guy.
The first dish known to have been deep fried was fritters, which were popular in the Middle Ages.
 However, it was the Scottish who were the first Europeans to deep fry their chicken in fat (though without seasoning).
 Meanwhile, a number of West African peoples had traditions of seasoned fried chicken (though battering and cooking the chicken in palm oil).
 Scottish frying techniques and West African seasoning techniques were combined by enslaved Africans and African-Americans in the American South.
 Prior to the Second World War, fried chicken was often very expensive and was only enjoyed on special occasions.
 In the late 1900s and early 2000s, however, fried chicken has been mass-produced and the price of the dish has gone down significantly.
Kennedy Fried Chicken and Crown Fried Chicken are common restaurant names primarily in the New York-New Jersey-Philadelphia, Baltimore area of the US, but also in nearby smaller cities or towns along the Northeastern United States.
 Kennedy Fried Chickens typically compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in the inner city neighborhoods of several states along the East Coast.
 There are also a number in the West Coast, primarily in California.
 A number of these restaurants, located in other states, are named New York Fried Chicken, essentially designed in the same manner and offering the same general menu as Kennedy and Crown Fried Chicken.
 It is not an actual franchise; every "Kennedy" named chicken restaurant is independently owned and operated by different individuals but consist of almost the same menu.
"Whatever It Is" a song by the Zac Brown Band, an American country music group.
 It is the second single release from the 2008 album "The Foundation" and the band's second Top 3 hit on the "Billboard" country singles charts.
 The song is the follow-up to the band's number-one debut single "Chicken Fried".
National Fried Chicken Day is observed annually on July 6.
 In observance of this day, some people consume various preparations of fried chicken.
 Fried chicken has been described as an "American restaurant staple".
 Some fried chicken restaurant locations such as Church's Chicken and KFC, and other restaurants such as Grandy's locations, offer special price reductions on National Fried Chicken Day.
 It is unclear how the day originated and who or what entity started it.
