I dip, you dip, we dip
North Carolina dipped fried chicken starts with brined chicken that’s seasoned, deep-fried then dipped in a tangy-spicy sauce. Four-unit Ted’s Famous Chicken in North Carolina is known for its dipped chicken, which features a blend of vinegar and hot sauce. Sonic Drive-In’s limited-time Dunked Ultimate Chicken Sandwiches, which debuted this past summer, gets right the recipe’s dipping action, but the sauce selections—bourbon barbecue, Buffalo or garlic Parmesan—are far from traditional.
