Huckabee challenges Romney over fried chicken.
PENSACOLA, Florida (CNN) – Mitt Romney's failure to eat fried chicken with the skin on is nothing short of blasphemy here in the South, according to GOP rival Mike Huckabee.
Romney, of Massachusetts, dug into a piece fried chicken at KFC while campaigning in Lutz, Florida on Saturday, but not before peeling off what most would consider the best part — the crispy skin.
It *is* the best part but damned if I eat the skin either.



As a long time resident of Okaloosa County, Florida, as someone who grew up here, you eat the skin of good homemade fried chicken, but you order extra crispy from KFC and remove the skin before eating.
KFC pressure cooks before frying and the skin never attains the crispiness of the homemade that is skillet fried.
What does a squirrel eater know about chicken?
But I do the supposedly "healthy" thing and take it off and just eat the chicken.
