Pudgie's

Pudgie's Famous Chicken, often referred as simply Pudgie's, is a chain of fast food restaurants. Competing with KFC and Popeyes, many locations today are co-branded with Nathan's Famous, many of which are also co-branded with sister chain Arthur Treacher's, and have several locations in the New York metropolitan area. It is famous for their fried chicken products to be skinless, making their fried chicken with 25% less fat than traditional fried chicken,  which makes their skinless fried chicken their signature product.

History
Pudgie's Famous Chicken was founded in 1981 in Bethpage, New York by George Sanders. George Sanders developed his secret batter recipe and skinning progress. This concept was spread throughout Long Island and by 1989 it became a franchise company. TruFoods Systems, Inc., bought the Pudgie's trademark in 2002, and as of 2011, TruFoods operates the Wall St. Deli, Ritter's Frozen Custard, Arthur Treacher's, and Pudgie's. Today, this concept is exclusive to Nathan's Famous, and as such, many of these are cobranded with Nathan's.
