Probably England and Scotland. The English in particular have been frying all manner of foods for centuries. They even fry vegetables, cooked grains and bread doughs and cakes. Fried breads such as bannock originated in Scotland and Northern England. The English have been frying battered or floured poultry, rabbit, red meats and fish in pork lard since forever.
African Americans may have brought many African recipes and cooking methods with them to the Americas but frying meats in fats/oils wasn't one of them. They adopted and adapted many other cultures cooking methods after they were brought to the Americas and started mingling with people of other cultures, in particular Scottish methods, mannerisms and language. Like y'all for example - that's of Scottish origin.
.
A lot of food such as Battered Fish and Chips was introduced to Britain with the help of immigrants.
what is it about fried chicken that would make people who eat meat not enjoy it?
do people actually think it tastes bad (lets use a universal brand like kfc for the example) or is it just like health food nuts that cant get past the whole deep fried/ fried food thing
serious question because i personally never met anyone who didnt enjoy some good fried chicken on occasion
It's like the saying everything tastes good if it's deep fried, but some things can be a bit too much, like fried spam or something the idea is revolting. fried chicken is usually good but sometimes not as good. There are a lot of variables, like how oily it is (well it's deep fried so of course it's oily, but I mean if it's not well drained or cooked at the right temp it's swimming in oil/soggy and that's not nice), the chicken itself, the seasoning of the batter, the batter consistency.etc.
In the movie "Argo," they showed them eating KFC in Iran, and I'm sure that was accurate, but that was over 30 years ago.
As Argo treated the truth like a toilet, the KFC incident was probably pure fabrication.
Foe example, it was implied that New Zealand embassy staff were indifferent to the plight of the Americans, when in fact, they assisted. It wouldn't make such a good movie though, if it wasn't the whole world against a valiant, underdog America. Still, it's only a movie and it's about entertainment. The truth should never get in the way of a good yarn.

The KFC was probably just beans and rice.
An existing KFC in Iran right after the Shah left is no so far fetched. I mentioned it as a part of the movie because I don't know if it was in fact true.
Deep fried chicken is rather rare here. Marinated buffalo wings have some popularity as snacks, but mostly rednecks and other eat them at restaurants, mainly in Tampere, Pori and in a few other really redneck hillbilly cities.
I can't believe this is even a question and it seems the OP is serious as well!

Wow, I didn't think that was possible.
Every country has their own version.
