My grandpa Miller would take fresh vegetables to Belgrade Gardens. I loved to go with him because I would get a free chicken dinner.

I LOVE ALL THE legendary Barberton chicken it’s the only chicken that beats Popeyes , its better than any southern chicken I have found to date. The hot sauce (should be called hot rice , name is a bit misleading really its not a condiment, its a side dish lol ) is very good the second day or after, seems the older it gets the better it tastes , I always take some to go too.

The chicken, hot sauce, and coleslaw are all great and compliment each other well. The recipes for all tree are on Pinterest, but you’ll have to search deep for them. Look for a newspaper clipping showing all three. I posted the recipes on this site and they were almost immediately deleted. Good luck finding them.

It IS the best fried chicken I’ve tasted, but I wish that you had included the recipe for that tomato-rice dish that goes with it.
