Maryland Fried Chicken, founded by Albert Constantine in Orlando in 1959, revolutionized the fried chicken industry with a unique breading recipe of 21 herbs and spices, pressure-fried in pure peanut oil. Initially inspired to compete with Colonel Sanders, Constantine's marketing strategy capitalized on the influx of Baltimore residents to Florida, successfully establishing a beloved chain that thrived throughout the years.

Despite selling the franchise operation in 1975, Maryland Fried Chicken has continued to maintain its nostalgic appeal, drawing on themes of family farms and picnics. Today, the brand remains a staple in several states, with a focus on quality ingredients sourced from Delmarva producers.
