“The best fried chicken in the literal world. The truth. 🤯🌎🍗🙏🖤“

“Yessss 😍🍗 I am absolutely in love with the deliciousness of fried chicken livers! There’s just something about that crispy outside and tender, flavorful inside that makes me so happy every single time. I swear, I cannot leave Kentucky without getting some fried chicken — it’s basically a requirement at this point! 😂✨

And let me tell you, it just hits differently here. I’m convinced it’s way better than anything you could find in NYC. The flavor, the seasoning, the texture — everything tastes homemade and authentic 🙌💛

You can truly tell they cook with love and pride, and that passion comes through in every bite. It’s not just food, it’s comfort and tradition on a plate 🥰🔥 Kentucky fried chicken will always have my heart!“

“I have lived in the Lexington area for 15 years and have never tried Lee’s. After a situation of food not being ready at a competitors when we ordered ahead and was told we needed to wait an additional 20 minutes past our quoted time we decided to give them a try. They blew their competitor out of the water in terms of service 100%. They were friendly and we had the food right away. I have had better friend chicken but for the friendly service and convenience they are worth the money.“
