Love fried chicken? Then mark Sunday, July 6 on your calendar — it’s National Fried Chicken Day, the unofficial food holiday where fans can celebrate one of America’s favorite comfort meals with free food deals and special offers from top restaurants and fast-food chains.
Why Celebrate Fried Chicken Day?
Though no one officially claims credit for creating this day, the love for fried chicken runs deep. In a YouGov poll on The Most Popular American Dishes, fried chicken ranked 83% in popularity, right up there with burgers and grilled cheese. Even sides like fries (85%) and mashed potatoes (84%) barely outscored it.
According to the National Chicken Council, the average American will eat over 103 pounds of chicken in 2025, up from 77 pounds in 2000. Chicken is now the most consumed meat in the U.S., as red meat consumption continues to decline.
