The only recorded ordinance banning the eating of chicken with a fork is on the books in Gainesville, GA, USA.The city commission adopted the ordinance as a publicity stunt in 1961 due to Gainesville's status as "Chicken Capital of the World".

And yes, we HAVE arrested someone who violated this law!

• If you are out in a restaurant then you should eat chicken with a knife and fork. You can use your fork to pull the meat away from the bone or, cut pieces of the chicken with your knife and then use your fork to eat it. If in a high end restaurant you do not pick chicken up with your hands and eat it as that is not etiquette, but if you are at a family orientated restaurant this is acceptable.

Pork

Any utensils.
