Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Dreams do come true. One minute you’re getting shegged with a dry chicken burger in Edgware Road, the next you’re getting funding to go eat the chips of your life at Jay’ Zs old spot in Brooklyn.

The Chicken Connoisseur headed to NYC for the latest episode of The Pengest Munch, armed with high-end equipment and shiny new ridiculous VFX transitions.

He got a tour of the city’s notable chicken spots from A$AP Bari, the pair hitting up Texas in Harlem, Kennedy Chicken in The Bronx and Crown Fried Chicken in Brooklyn.

Don’t worry though he hasn’t sold out, the food still undergoing a rigorous taste test and the Harlem joint earning a damning: “Dead.”

The Chicken Connoisseur's simple love for chicken is probably best summed by this exchange with a customer:

“Nobody’s rich, if they was they wouldn’t be here.”

“If I was rich I probably would still come here.”

Someone book this kid on Chef’s Table, the world needs to see him review a pretentious tasting menu.
