Fried Chicken and Creativity: reinventing a Classic !

Fried chicken has long been seen as a simple, almost ordinary dish. But in Paris, over the past few years, it’s been enjoying a true renaissance. Restaurants like Buns Paris have made it a specialty in its own right, with one ambition: reinvent the classic without betraying it.

The principle remains the same: marinated, seasoned chicken, coated in a light breading then fried until it reaches perfect crispiness. But where industrial fast food stopped at the basic recipe, the new spots explore, invent, dare. They play with spices, vary the marinades, and put real care into the sides.

At Buns Paris, fried chicken isn’t a side act: it’s treated with as much respect as the smash burger. The cooks look for the right balance between crunch and tenderness, between aromatic intensity and finesse of flavor. The result is a dish that speaks as much to street-food lovers as to the curious in search of something new.

And the success is real. Fried chicken has become a must-have on Paris menus. You’ll find it on the plates of students, families, groups of friends who come to share a simple yet generous meal. It’s an honest dish, one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but when done right, can surprise you with its depth of flavor.

In Paris 15 as in Paris Ourcq, fried chicken embodies the perfect alliance between American tradition and Parisian creativity. And that may be its greatest strength: staying true to its origins while adapting to modern tastes.
