You'll find Lucky Wishbone Restaurant at 1033 E. 5th Ave., Anchorage, AK 99501.
This place is always hopping, so you'll want to get here early to avoid a wait, especially on weekends. What's everyone so excited about? The chicken, of course.

Luckily, there's plenty of seating, but be prepared for a bit of a wait on a Friday or Saturday night.
This chicken isn't typical run-of-the-mill fried chicken.

It starts out fresh - they'll never, ever serve you frozen chicken here! Then it's dipped in buttermilk and pan-fried until the outside is perfectly crisp and the inside is tender and juicy. This might possibly be the best pan-fried chicken on the planet.

The question isn't whether or not the chicken is delicious...it's how hungry are you? Depending on how much chicken you can put away, you'll order the Mom, the Pop, or the Junior.

The Pop comes with a breast, thigh, leg, wing and back - five pieces of juicy chicken. The Mom comes with just three pieces - the breast, your choice of a leg or thigh, and your choice of a wing or back. The junior is just two pieces of chicken - a leg and a wing. All three dinners also include French fries and a corn muffin with butter.
