Long Islanders Voted Zorn’s Best Fried Chicken on Long Island!
1. Zorn’s
Multiple Locations. www.zornscaterers.com
Family owned and operated for more than six decades and three generations, Zorn’s offers hundreds of freshly prepared items for Long Islanders. It was the first to serve rotisserie chickens cooked over an open flame in barbeque ovens. Keeping with that chicken legacy, Zorn’s fried chicken is, hands-down, absolutely stellar. Crispy yet tender, thick and juicy, Zorn’s birds burst with flavor, their wholesome white and dark meat is perfect by themselves or accompanied with any of Zorn’s many fresh Homemade Fixins as sides. Macaroni and cheese and Zorn’s garlic mashed potatoes fit nicely.
