Oh, wow, someone though of fried chicken fingers and fries before Cane's/Lane's/Baileys/Zaxby's. Shocked. Who is the original decent chicken sandwich (Chik Fil A doesn't count, cause it sucks?) Fight!

Guthrie’s in Auburn is the original chicken finger, fries and Texas toast place. The ones around Auburn are still fire, but the ones franchised out in other towns are very hit or miss, with most being a miss.
I now see this was already mentioned multiple times.

On the Guthrie's cups it says Fried since 65. The Original Guthrie's was in north Al. That's where the chicken finger and sauce were developed. The son went to Auburn in the early 80's so they opened a restaurant there. The place they bought for the restaurant was to small they eventually limited to menu to just chicken fingers fries and toast.

Anytime I walk in a Zaxby's it smells like something has just burned.

Guthrie's in Haleyville opened in 1965, but they didn't start focusing on chicken fingers until the late 70s..
Most of the copycats like Zaxby's, Cain's, Foosackleys, Slim Chickens, etc did not open until the 1990s and early 2000s.
ETA: and Guthrie's is still the best IMO. The fingers are close, but Guthrie's sauce is like crack.

From Wikipedia
quote:
Founders Todd Graves and Craig Silvey were studying at different universities when they wrote a plan for a chicken-finger restaurant which Silvey submitted in a business plan-writing course, receiving a C-minus grade. At the time, Graves worked at Guthrie's Chicken Fingers.[6]
quote:
The original Guthrie's was opened in Haleyville, Alabama, in 1965 by Hal Guthrie.[1] The restaurant originally served a full menu of Southern food, but in 1978 it was changed to focus primarily on chicken fingers.[1] This switch resulted in Guthrie's becoming the first restaurant to have a menu largely centered on chicken fingers.[2] By 1982, a second location would open in Auburn and a third in Athens, Georgia by 1984.[1] By 1997, eight locations were open and all were under the ownership of the Guthrie family.[1]

In the grand scheme of things Zaxbys > Canes and it’s not really close.

Maybe that solves the issue. Cane's has started selling nuggets to avoid the possibly copyright claim.

I ate at the one in Daphne and thought it was pretty good.
