| - Went back today and took out another 10 vehicles as I rammed into the left lane to make the turn into the lot...
I meant to try pork chops, or catfish...nope, I couldn't get past the chicken.
Once again, this chicken did not disappoint. I had an annoying end to this long work day when I got home with this chicken. But as soon as I picked up the drumstick and took a bite, it ALL washed away...seriously.
Let's back up.
When I opened my styrofoam container, I noticed that the chicken had gotten slightly moist from the being closed up for almost an hour after I got it. I thought the experience was going to be lessened. No.
The drumstick was a bit soggy on the bottom from sitting so long, but like I said, I bit into it and all the annoyances of life went elsewhere and bothered some other guy.
Perfection.
Even when soggy.
Even when sitting for over an hour.
If fried chicken remains absolutely delicious even after all that, you know you've got some special stuff.
What gets me is that I saw some young folks in the kitchen, I don't know if either of them fried the chicken, but if so - someone has been teaching them the real deal. This tastes like some old woman who has been through years of hurt and pain but also joy and love has cooked this. Someone who KNEW what bad chicken was and KNEW how to avoid that at all costs. Someone who cared what their food tastes like. And if youngens' are producing this kind of fare, that deserves proper kudos.
I notice there is not a 'professional' atmosphere here. Like another reviewer said, anything seems to go.
Honestly? So what.
The food is too friggin good. Yes, we are entitled to good customer service as customers. But like I said before, you get what you put in with the people here. You come in with an attitude, that is what you get.
I know some people put a high high value on customer service and how staff presents themselves; I do, too. But chicken THIS good, and I mean specifically THIS chicken that is THIS good...I can accept the very casual atmosphere here.
Yes, I wish they would put a bit more pride in their professionalism.
But I promise you, this chicken will make lovers of fried chicken not give a flying flea's fanny about anything else. In each experience I've had with it, the chicken is THAT good.
