HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – The popular magazine and website, Southern Living, released a list on Oct. 15 featuring the best friend chicken in the south, with Christian County included. To make the list, they gathered a group of southern chefs to recommend their favorite spots in the region that range from gas stations, to fast food, to more upscale restaurants.
The Huck’s location in Crofton on South Madisonville Road was chosen as one of the best 11 places. There are now three of these popular gas station/markets spread throughout the county, but this location was singled out as the standout.
In the article by Southern Living, Greg Garrison chose this as his favorite due to the crispy exterior and moist inside of the fried chicken. As an executive chef and partner at the restaurant Repeal 33 in Savannah, Georgia, he said he was in Crofton on a hunting trip when he fell in love with the food.
He also pointed out that the chicken was the perfect temperature, and it was clear that the employees cared about quality. All of these elements reminded him of home-cooked food.
