[edit] 1 History

As the story goes, there was a group of individuals in the Seattle area who would order a hefty box of fried chicken every other Friday or so. After about the 10th or 11th occasion, someone suggested this to be Fried Chicken Friday and thus a new tradition was born.

This is possibly related to the unofficial American military tradition of "Aloha Fridays", a tradition imported from the state of Hawaii. In this tradition, employee's come to work on Friday dressed traditionally in a Hawaiian shirt, and participate in a pot-luck style lunch prior to departing from work early to start the weekend.
