"Chicken Fried" is a patriotic song by American country music group Zac Brown Band, whose frontman Zac Brown co-wrote with Wyatt Durrette. The song was first recorded in 2003 for the 2005 album Home Grown. A second version was then released in 2006 by the Lost Trailers, whose version was released as a single but withdrawn from radio. Two years later, the Zac Brown Band re-recorded the song and released it as the first single from their album The Foundation. In late 2008, it became their first chart single, as well as their first number-one hit on the Billboard country charts. The song was featured in the 2008 film Witless Protection.

The song has also been placed at number 39 for the Taste of Country's "Top 100 Country Songs of All Time" chart.
