To celebrate next week’s Valentine’s Day, Starbucks has debuted two new beverages – Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino and Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew according to Chew boom.

Starbuck is got a lot going on recently. We just told you about our new favorite drink people are turning their nose up to, but  it's actually really good! The Oleato.

This is the BEST Fried Chicken in North & South Carolina

Now, if there's one thing I know how to do... that's eat! I enjoy eating and indulging. I love food and trying new foods. Whether I am going to a restaurant or just cooking it up myself, I love it. One of my favorite foods is chicken. I know, pretty basic because who doesn't enjoy chicken? In just about any form chicken can be great because it can be cooked in so many ways or mixed with so many different ingredients. It goes with just about everything!

Well, Taste of Home is naming some of the best fried chicken in every state. As soon as I saw it, I had to take a look for myself. Because when someone says "best friend chicken" you have to see what they are talking about. They took every state and did a deep dive to find the best fried chicken in each state. From Alaska and Hawaii to right here in the Carolinas. But, where do you think has the BEST fried chicken in North and South Carolina? Let's take a look at the two spots with the best fried chicken in North and South Carolina and see what it's really hitting on. See the full list here of every state to see what other restaurants you can try when traveling this year.

South Carolina

First off, we're starting in South Carolina. According to this list, Yogi Bear's Honey Fried Chicken in Hartsville, SC is the BEST fried chicken in the state. Imagine crispy, fried chicken being dipped in a sweet, savory syrup... perfection! I have never been here but I know of Hartsville and I know they have some great, great food! You can get multiple dinner pieces, pork chops, gizzards, seafood, and more all in one spot. Sounds like we might need to take a little visit to Hartsville soon.

North Carolina

Now, lets take a trip to the Tar Heel state for some crispy chicken. If you're heading to Chapel Hill, then you may want to visit Mama Dips in Chapel Hill. Home to some down right, Southern home cooking you can enjoy crispy, tasty chicken at Mama Dips. Get fried chicken, fried pork chops, fried chicken livers, and so much more. Their famous fried chicken is cooked classically with not to many ingredients and just the perfect balance of salt, pepper, flour, and love. I judge fried chicken based on a picture and trust me, you can see the crunch in the pic!
