National Fried Chicken Day

I give you my word I'm not kidding. Today, July 6, 2022, is National Fried Chicken Day. It's always celebrated on July 6.

How does one celebrate? Put simply, you eat fried chicken.

What Are Restaurants Doing In Honor of the Holiday?

As near as I can tell, not much. One national chain, however, is stepping up to the plate. Popeye's across the country are celebrating with a special offer just for you. According to Thrillist, you can enjoy Popeye's signature crispy, hand-battered, hand-breaded chicken for just $6.99 on National Fried Chicken Day. You can take advantage of this offer at the store or via their app, or even online at popeyes.com.

I searched a number of other national chains and local Grand Junction restaurants and didn't turn up anything in the way of special offers.
