Golden Skillet sign in Sandston, Virginia
Golden Skillet is a fast-food chain that mainly sells fried chicken originating in Richmond, Virginia .[1] The first Golden Skillet chicken was sold in 1963 at the downtown Richmond department store Thalhimer's .[1] The fried chicken recipe was created by Clifton W. Guthrie, the original owner and founder of Golden Skillet.
The slogan for the chain was "Tender as Quail ! Tasty as Pheasant !"[2] While the recipe was not officially published, it is known that the fried chicken was cooked in special pressure-cookers and with specific breading.[1]
History [ edit ]
In 1963, a vice president of a Thalhimers grocery store tasted Guthrie's chicken at a banquet and shortly after, it was sold at the Thalhimers' restaurant.[1]
Eventually, in Richmond, the first freestanding location opened in 1968.[1] By October 2, 1981, Guthrie's death, the chain had grown to 180 franchises worldwide and 16 places of operation.[1] It had affiliate firms with Puerto Rico, Canada, and Japan.[1] [3] [4] As of April 2024, the company operates 10 locations in Maryland , North Carolina , and Virginia .
Golden Skillet would be sold to American chain Dairy Queen sometime in the 1980s after Guthrie's death.[5]
Locations [ edit ]
Some locations of the franchise include Sandston, Virginia ,[6] Plymouth, North Carolina ,[7] Henderson, North Carolina ,[8] Ahoskie, North Carolina ,[9] Petersburg, Virginia ,[10] and Richmond, Virginia .[11] [12]
