Question

When dining out what is the proper way to eat fried chicken? Use a knife and fork or your fingers?

Answer 1

in most places, you eat with your hands. if it's a fine dining upscale restaurant (though it would be weird if they had something simple like fried chicken), then you gotta use the fork and knife. so basically, eat with those fingers.

Answer 2

Depends on the place, but fingers mostly, especially if it's fast food or a big chain.  If it's a fine dining place, utensils would be best.

Answer 3

Your fingers are the ONLY way to eat fried chicken.  I do not care where it is or who I am with, fingers all the way.

Answer 4

The proper, according to ettique, is to eat all food with a fork or spoon.  When eating friend chicken at a family style restaurant and BBQ restaurant or any other casual restaurant it is appropriate to each the chicken with your fingers as long as there is a napkin to wipe your fingers (don't l**k them) if you are in any finer restaurant your should always use a fork and knife to eat chicken with or any other food that has bones (i.e.) ribs, in most cases foods such as these will not be on the menu at these establishments.

So EAT WITH YOUR FINGERS! It's okay.

Answer 5

if your in a casual dinning place(like a place where you could wear jeans) than it is fine to use your fingers. but if ur at a fancier place that utensils would e best...think of it trhis way...no jeans no fingers

Answer 6

Savage Style is acceptable.

Answer 7

I dont care where I am, I eat fried chicken with my hands. And besides if there selling fried chicken, they cant be THAT CLASSY AND UPSCALE. Whoever may be watching me will just have to get over themselves if they think I am being sloppy! Oh well.

Answer 8

The rule of thumb is, (same with french fries in my family) if it comes out of a box or bucket... or you can pick it up in a drive-thru.... Fingers all the way.

If some nice wait person brings it to you, pull out that knife and fork!

Answer 9

fried chicken - fingers all the time, I don't try to make an impression on people,

Answer 10

Fingers

Answer 11

Answer 12

Don't be scared to use your fingers.  It shows that you don't care what people think about you and that your hungry.

Answer 13

Most likely if they serve fried chicken at the place, then it is acceptable to eat it with your fingers. But when in doubt, eat with utensils.
