History, tradition and origin
Fried chicken as the world knows it came from the American South, where Scottish frying methods met West African seasoning in the hands of enslaved cooks. It became Sunday and picnic food. Korea developed its own style after the 1970s, frying twice for a thin, crisp shell. Spicy wings in hot sauce and butter date from 1960s Buffalo, New York.
Food economy and industry
Chicken is now the most eaten meat in the world. Modern birds reach market weight in about six weeks, and integrated companies control hatching, feed and processing. Wings, once a cheap leftover, are in such demand that their price jumps before big sports events. Fried chicken shops are among the most common small food businesses in many countries.
