I would love to hear if there is a particular fried chicken you deem the best! Footnote: My personal favorite is (or was, they recently renovated and I have not been back yet) the Williamsburg Lodge Hotel Restaurant in Williamsburg, Virginia.

I like to make "karage" at home; Japanese-style fried chicken.

Looking it up online, it does appear that the restaurants are still there and still have the same menu. I wonder if it is still as good... -Jeff
