All the chicken is cut by hand, soaked in an all-natural marinade, hand-breaded, and cooked to order using a lower frying temperature for a longer period of time. That keeps the chicken juicy on the inside.

The prices here are just what you’d expect from a small-town eatery as well. You can get a huge platter of chicken tenders for just $10.50 and a family pack of 12 massive pieces of fried bird (that’s enough for four) for just $37.99.
