In terms of Kentucky’s most legendary claims to fame, fried chicken ranks up at the top. Not to brag, but we’re kind of world-famous for it, and it truly is an iconic part of Kentucky culture. Each summer, the streets of Corbin come alive with riot and revelry in the form of endless fried chicken and uncanny Colonel Sanders lookalikes. This is the magic of the World Chicken Festival, an only-in-Kentucky event that most certainly belongs on your Bluegrass bucket (of fried chicken) list.
