We asked you, our readers, where to get the best fried chicken in South Florida — and the nominations are in.

Now, it’s time to vote. Fill out the form below and choose your finger-lickin’ favorite.

So what makes the fried chicken served at a grocery store, no-frills eatery and a couple of high-end restaurants a cluck above the rest?

In their nominations, readers said the finalists all have something in common: fried chicken that is fresh, not greasy with crispy, crunchy coating on the outside and juicy and tender meat on the inside that tastes like “old-fashioned home cooking.”

They also said they liked that it’s consistent and a good value.

“It’s addictive!” one reader said about her nomination.

When another reader picks up an order at his favorite spot, he said the pieces never make it home: “I eat them in the car.”

Voting will close on Monday, Jan. 22. Can’t see the form below? Click here to open it.
