On July 3, 2010, the Canoefest Fryers Club set an official Guinness World Record for the Largest Serving of Fried Chicken, filling a brand new Osagian Canoe with 1,645 pounds of FRIED CHICKEN. This brought the record back to the USA from Kuwait, who had held the record at 1,278 pounds. Another attempt by a large corporation in Kentucky reported to fry a contending amount, but the official record was awarded to us!
Over 200 fryers and volunteers fryed up 2,700 pounds of raw chicken, donated at a discount by OMara Foods in Greensburg, a major chicken supplier to the area. The 2,700 pounds cooked down to the 1,645 that was the world record weight. The chicken was then served up in over 600 dinners, with additional chicken donated to a local food bank.
This is the brand new canoe, donated by Osagian Canoes of Missouri, that held the record chicken.
