Chef John Wiggins was born and raised in Tallahassee but has been cooking on campus for 36 years! He started out cooking for the FSU Football team where he introduced the now infamous Honey Fried Chicken Fridays to campus. As John told the story, he was at home eating popeyes chicken when he accidentally got some honey from a biscuit on his fried chicken. He asked if he could make it for the team and the rest is history. For over a decade Fried Chicken Friday's have been a staple in the dining halls on campus and we're grateful to Chef John for bringing the recipe to life!
