Fried chicken is a staple American food and is quickly gaining popularity around the world. These crispy yet succulent pieces of chicken are made in various countries with their own little twist added to them. The Indian version of chicken fry, for example, has India's signature spices added to the marinade and is spicier than its American counterpart. The style of cooking the chicken and the ingredients used also vary greatly between the two places. This gives the dishes, though same in name, distinctly different tastes.
