Since then, several new ways to get this mutation have been added to the game. In this guide, you will learn all possible methods to obtain the Fried mutation in Grow a Garden.

There are a few ways to get the Fried mutation in Grow a Garden, including the newly introduced Mutation Spray Fried, and Fried Mutation pets. So, here are the best ways to get the Fried mutation in the game:
1. Fried Chicken Event
The Fried mutation can be obtained during the Fried Chicken admin event in Grow a Garden. This weather event takes place before the Grow a Garden updates if the admins run it. Before the update goes live, admins run a vote for the events.
Select the Fried Chicken event by stepping into the voting zone and praying that the community wants it too. Once it starts, the Cooked Owl showers the lobby with chicken legs and the best plants in your garden to get this Grow a Garden mutation on most of your plants.
2. Fried Mutation Pet
The Fried Pet mutation is one of the easiest ways to obtain the mutation for your crops. First, complete the cooking quests and claim rewards from the Chris P NPC. If you are lucky, you will receive the divine rarity Pet Shard Fried.
Use it on any of your pets to give them the Fried mutation. The Fried pet will randomly attempt to give the Fried mutation to a crop in your garden. Remember, even if the timer triggers during the attempt, the pet might fail to apply the mutation. So, it all depends on your luck.
3. Mutation Spray Fried
In the cooking rewards, you will also find the Mutation Spray Fried. Using the spray instantly applies the Fried mutation to the crop you select. I suggest you keep it saved for a bigger crop with more value, like a Gold Bone Blossom. Each spray comes with one use, so try not to spray it on a carrot.
Best Tips to Get Fried Mutation in Grow a Garden
The easy way to get the Fried mutation on your plants is to wait until the Fried Chicken event arrives. Here are a few tips that can help you get this mutation on most of the plants in your plot.
- Save Food Items: Every craving interval, you will notice that Chris P NPC is asking for a specific food item. It is better to give the food items he demands and save the other ones. This way, you will have a chance to get high-tier rewards. It increases your chances of getting the Fried Mutation Spray and Pet Mutation Shard.
- Plant Variety of Plants: Before the update starts and Jandel runs the Fried Chicken event, I suggest you plant different tiers of plants in your garden. It will help you get more value out of the crops.
Is the Fried Mutation Worth Getting?
No, it is not worth grinding for the Fried mutation. The good thing is that you don’t need to buy or wait for the mutation. While completing the cooking quests, you will find the gear that helps you get the Fried mutation. The mutation amplifies your crop value by 8x, which is decent. Outside of the value multiplier, there is not much use for the Fried mutation in Grow a Garden.
So, will you use your gear to get the Fried mutation now, or will you wait until the developers add some quests around it? Tell us in the comments below.
