| - Thank goodness I found this place. I was worried I was going to have to suffer out the rest of my existence in Phoenix without decent fried chicken. Family owned, friendly, accommodating, and fantastic food are all things I love about many different restaurants, but when they come together in one place, you can bet I'll be a regular. I happened to be in the Ahwatukee/S Phoenix area for work at the end of the day and found myself checking Yelp for places nearby to pick up dinner. Ezekiel's popped up, the few reviews were extremely positive, and who am I to turn down chicken if everyone likes it?
I've been here about 3 times now (with many more visits in the near future), and the food has been consistent, flavorful, hearty, and filling. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a wonderful lightly crispy skin; I found myself licking the bones for more flavor when I finished off the meat. The cornbread was the best side, with just the right amount of crumbly graininess, and I would highly recommend ordering extra. I wasn't too impressed with the green beans (slightly soggy and overcooked), but I refuse to let that detract from the main dish: chicken. You go to a fried chicken place for the fried chicken, not for vegetables.
I didn't find the wait too long, though I usually order ahead of time and go pick it up. I appreciate food cooked to order, rather than food precooked and sitting under a heat lamp. Yes, more, please!
