I'm going to preface this by saying, when it comes to fried chicken, I'm an equal opportunist. Fast food vs home cooked...KFC, Price's, Popeye's...I'll eat it all. Spicy, regular, crispy skin, give me all of it.
That being said, when I read the numerous reviews about the supposed "best fried chicken in Charlotte" coming from a gas station less than a mile from my place, I made it a priority to spend my next weekday off lunching here. Aka, I snuck out of work early to eat a 10:45 am lunch...no shame, no shame.
I got the dark meat (my jam), spicy drumstick meal with a side of mac&cheese and green beans, because vegetables, y'know? Couple of packets of hot sauce and I was all set to go eat in the privacy of my own house where I could lick my grease covered fingers free of judgment.
The fried chicken was salty, skin was crisp but kind of slid off the meat in a sad way that left me wanting more crunch to it. That being said, I still ate it and the every single piece of dark meat on the bone. The mac and cheese was delicious, the green beans...meh. The final verdict? No one will have to twist my arm to go back but its not meal I'll crave anytime soon.
Also, solid place to get gas.
