Presentation counts
One must show off the best and most attractive pieces, add a bit of appetizing garnish and serve it on a beautiful platter with pretty accessories. After all, the Miss America contestants don't just roll out of bed and show up in hair rollers, sweats and fuzzy slippers, do they?
Mmmmm Good
Clearly, many of the people posting here only know fried chicken from KFC... This pan of fried bird looks delish.
Golden brown
Chicken just doesn't look as yummy in black and white
Blech!
Has a less appetizing photograph ever been taken of a purported foodstuff?
Darn it,
Don't you just hate it when the second batch comes out darker that the first?!
According to my Aunt Mabel
It ain't Authentic Fried Chicken unless it's fried in lard. (And she lived to be about 95.)
Bony
This chicken looks positively scrawny compared to today's mutant beasts.
This Just In
Contrary to popular belief, the Colonel did not invent fried chicken in the South. My Great-Aunt Ruby did, along with fried okra. So there.

This is the chicken they're referring to when people say that something "tastes like chicken" whether it's possum, rattlesnake or whatever.
