Are you making chicken for dinner and wondering what to serve with fried chicken? Everyone loves juicy chicken coated and fried until it is crispy and crunchy. And it tastes even better when it is paired with the right side dishes!

Fried chicken used to be something I made rarely, because frying chicken is messy, but since I got an air fryer and started making air fryer fried chicken I make it all the time!

And since I like variety in my meals I have tried a lot of different side dishes with my chicken. Some of them are classic, like mashed potatoes. Some of them are healthy, like green beans. Some of them are not even remotely healthy, like fried hush puppies. But they are all delicious!

So if you are trying to figure out what to serve with fried chicken check out this list of the best side dishes for fried chicken!
