Huckabee Mocks Romney for Skinning Fried Chicken

Mitt Romney took a stop off the trail Saturday, and shared a meal with his traveling press corps. The food? Colonel Sanders' fried chicken, and biscuits. Romney, known for his healthy eating habits, however, pulled off the skin. For some Southerners, a culinary faux pas.

Today, FNC asked Huckabee, how he as a Southerner, and someone who is also known for his healthy diet(Huckabee famously lost 110 pounds) eats the calorically-colossal, but Southern gastronomic mainstay.

"Going thru the weight loss program I try to eat it more broiled, and baked but I can tell you this: any Southerner knows that if you're not gonna eat the skin, don't bother with calling it fried chicken,"Huckabee said through a smile." And that's good, I'm glad to hear that he did that because that means I'm going to win Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma- all these great Southern states that understand that the best part of fried chicken, is the skin."
