Personal statement I love fried chicken. I really do. Fried chicken with a side of mac and cheese‚ biscuits‚ coleslaw‚ and mash potatoes with gravy puts me in a highly euphoric state. “Chicken Fried” by the Zac Brown Band is also my favorite song. This is a classic country tune and I love country music. I never used to be a fan‚ but now it is rooted at the center of my life. Country music has made me do things I’ve never done before. It’s gotten me through good times and also through bad times.
