This Ypsilanti Joint Has the Best Fried Chicken in Michigan

Attention all fried chicken fans. If crispy, golden goodness is your go-to comfort food, you will want to hear this.

Love Food has just revealed its pick for the absolute best fried chicken spot in the entire state of Michigan, and it’s a must-try for any true fan of this Southern classic.

Here is your first clue: the best fried chicken joint in the Great Lakes State, according to the popular food website, is in Washtenaw County.

Any guesses? Spoiler alert, it is not KFC.

Love Food has named Ma Lou's Fried Chicken in Ypsilanti the best fried chicken spot in Michigan.

Fried chicken lovers will find heaven here as Ma Lou's Fried Chicken offers a mouthwatering menu of all things poultry. There are sandwiches with your choice of fried breast or thigh, plus burgers and party wings with garlic or habanero sauces.

You can, of course, buy chicken by the piece, too. Customers rave about Ma Lou's chicken and waffles, as well as the joint's take on a Vietnamese bánh mì.

I am sold, I will definitely be setting a date to check this place out. Two things I will travel for - concerts and food.

Ma Lou's Fried Chicken is located at 15 West Michigan Avenue. If you are coming from the Lapeer area, expect the drive to take around an hour and a half. Traveling from Flint? Plan for about a one-hour trip.

Have you had the chance to try Ma Lou's yet? If you have, I would love to hear your take on the place. Do you agree it deserves the title of best fried chicken spot in Michigan?
