This Assembly Row restaurant is frying up a storm with a variety of fried chicken options at lunch, brunch, and dinner. There’s the chicken with cheddar-chive waffles, for example, with pepper-maple syrup and Louisiana-style honey-hot pepper sauce, not to mention the made-to-share bucket of fried chicken with biscuits and four sauces, plus an optional addition of a half or full rack of ribs.

Rosebud's menu draws inspiration from a lot of places, but particularly the South, so it's fitting that there are several fried chicken options. For dinner, the Tennessee hot chicken — a fried chicken thigh — is served with pickles, aioli, and shredded lettuce. On the weekend brunch menu, try the chicken and waffles or the "classy chicken" sandwich with Vermont cheddar, sausage gravy, and an egg, served on an English muffin.

Visitors to Sarma must save a bit of room to accommodate the surprise specials: Servers roam around the dining room with trays, offering up interesting bites that aren't on the regular menu. While it's always a safe bet that these roving specials are going to be delicious, diners must absolutely say yes to the fried chicken if it appears. The boneless thighs are crispy with a sesame and nigella seed coating, and they're seasoned with green harissa and served with a tahini remoulade. (Note: The chicken is also generally available on the late-night menu.)

Trina's —open for over 10 years — is a fun spot known for its hot dogs (and cocktails), but it knows how to handle other comfort food, too. The fried chicken on the dinner menu currently comes with hot pepper syrup, potato salad, miso baked beans, and arugula, while the brunch option puts pickle-brined fried chicken strips, American cheese, and pickles on a biscuit. Fried chicken and waffles with hot pepper syrup is also available at brunch, which is served on Sundays and Mondays.

While Highland Kitchen in Somerville is always worth a visit on fried chicken and tiki Mondays (or any night), its newer Cambridge sibling Highland Fried is basically celebrating chicken and tiki night every night (and at Sunday brunch). The three-piece dinner is a good entry point: three pieces of chicken with one side and one biscuit. But there’s also a whole chicken (three sides, three biscuits), individual pieces, and a fried chicken thigh sandwich. Don’t forget a tiki drink.

The Automatic serves a Korean fried chicken sandwich on all of its menus (brunch, lunch, dinner, and late-night); it comes with gochujang, kimchi, and cilantro. Counteract the heat with a frozen mudslide.

Can't handle too much heat? Opt for State Park’s Tabasco honey fried chicken rather than the Nashville hot. Either will more than satisfy all fried chicken needs, and each comes with appropriate sides. There's also a chicken katsu sandwich with cabbage, pickled mushrooms, mayo, and Japanese-style barbecue sauce, served on a potato bun.

This Kendall Square barbecue joint — which has newer siblings in Boston’s Fort Point and at Somerville’s Assembly Row, with more on the way — has plenty of options for those who feel like venturing away from ribs, brisket, and the like. Try the fried chicken in sandwich form (with pimento cheese, ranch, lettuce, tomato, and onion), or get it in a basket with fermented honey hot sauce and a couple of sides.

At Roxy's Grilled Cheese's storefronts in Allston and Cambridge (but not at the food truck), diners can get the double fried, a sandwich with twice-fried, buttermilk-brined chicken, lettuce, pickles, ranch, and spicy honey, served on a Portuguese sweet bun.

Sure, Bonchon's a giant international chain, but for Korean-style fried chicken cravings (and perhaps a side of cheesy tteokbokki, bulgogi, or a sashimi platter), Bonchon's the place to go. Locally, there are outposts in Allston and Cambridge's Harvard Square; further out, there's one each in Lowell, Salem, and Waltham. Choose a chicken part (wings, drums, boneless strips, or a wing-and-drum combo), choose a sauce (spicy, soy garlic, or a combo of the two), and choose a size (from five drums or 10 wings or strips up to 20 drums or 40 wings or strips).

With a name like Buttermilk & Bourbon, a restaurant had better serve a good buttermilk fried chicken — and fortunately it does. Get it in the form of wings, boneless thighs, or a bone-in half chicken, served in a choice of styles (Nashville hot, sweet and spicy, or with barbecue syrup or white barbecue sauce). Might as well stick with the fried theme and get some beignets for dessert.

Blue Dragon’s popular buttermilk tempura whole chicken platter, served with sweet chile sauce and “slawce,” is big enough to feed a few hungry diners alongside some snacks and dim sum plates. Available at dinner (not lunch). Follow it with a skillet cookie.

Tiffani Faison's Fenway barbecue powerhouse includes a buttermilk fried chicken tray, which comes with one hot scoop (such as mac & cheese or barbecue beans) and one cold scoop (such as watermelon salad or potato salad), plus pickles and onions, as well as white bread if requested. The chicken is also available a la carte.

Slade’s is known for its active events calendar, from live music to comedy shows, but don’t miss the food, particularly the fried chicken wings, tossed in “secret seasonings.” The entree portion comes with two sides, such as fried plantains or spicy fries.

Cutty's popular Super Cluckin' Sunday special happens just once a month; upcoming dates are posted on the restaurant's website. The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, served on a buttery sesame brioche bun, is available from 10 a.m. until it sells out, and it's topped with either ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, shredded iceberg, and shaved sweet onion or honey mustard, sharp cheddar, mayo, shredded iceberg, and sweet onion. No other sandwiches are available on this day, but there are drinks, house-made potato chips, and hand pies. No phone orders accepted on Super Cluckin' Sunday.

Chicken and waffles is the order at this counter-service Newmarket Square staple — choose from tenders, wings, or a thigh and drumstick combo. There are also a variety of sauce, syrup, and butter choices to make, and even the waffle comes a few different ways (buttermilk, banana, or cornbread).

The Whisk pop-up team settled into their own permanent space in Jamaica Plain a few years ago, where they're serving a varied menu with plenty of surprises. Take the fried chicken, for example — it's served with maple umeboshi (pickled Japanese plum-like fruits), lime, and herb slaw. The chicken is available in small and large portions and can be made “really” spicy, optionally. Try pairing it with the maple, miso, and lemon Brussels sprouts. There’s also a crispy chicken sandwich with habanero sauce, honey, and pickled tomato available at lunch.

This casual cafe opened in Dorchester in late 2016, serving a variety of soul food, including its popular fried chicken. The three-piece chicken plate comes with two sides, such as candied yams or mac and cheese. (Not in the mood for fried? Get barbecue chicken instead — it’s “can’t-put-it-down good,” per the Boston Globe.)
