Fried Chicken Dish, United States of America
Chicken Parmigiana
Recommended by Food Network and 9 other food critics.
"The real stars here are the comforting Italian dishes, such as a chicken alla parmigiana that devotee David Arquette describes as “carbs on cheese on sauce.” This dish starts with a chicken breast that’s coated in breading, then fried in oil with a dash of sherry. The bird comes smothered in marinara sauce, blanketed in bubbling layers of melted cheese and accompanied by a side of pasta."

"The appeal is as much the tuxedoed servers as the reliable classics: You want the tableside Caesar salad, and the cappuccino ice cream for dessert."

"Literally the best chicken parm in the world. This is not hyperbole. I am the definitive source of chicken parm knowledge. My spirit animal is chicken parm. Red Sauce runs through my veins. What makes DTs parm special is the perfect balance of the following attributes: - Crisp: The breading MUST hold up against sauce and cheese. This is a timing issue, as much as a fryer issue. They understand when to sauce it so that it comes out with a crunch. - Thickness: Some purists from NYC might question how thick DTs parm is. Many of the top places in NYC are too thin. There needs to be a balance of chicken to breading. DTs gets it right. The universe is in balance here. - Sauce: there's sherry that spikes the sauce. It becomes a unifier between the cheese and the chicken. It's magical. Hard to explain, but I would argue that this is the key elevating factor above all others. - Cheese: it's swimming in it. If you don't get a coronary from the volume of cheese in your chicken parm, it's not worth the effort. And again, all of this sauce and cheese do not detract from the crisp. Lastly, you are given options for side pasta with this parm. The natural choice would be to get meat sauce or bolognese. Wrong. The agilo e olio spaghetti is actually the appropriate pairing with DTs parm. Run, don't walk..."
