Chicken On The Way

What a joke this place is. It was never good but I’ve gone back hoping it was a hit or miss thing, but this last experience has left me just wondering how they can even serve what they do and have any sense of respect for anyone. Overcooked, dried out, smallest pieces I’ve ever seen anywhere — seriously, and there were so many feathers cooked right into the crust! I called in to explain this to them, and they said bring the meal back, and we’ll give you a free meal.
What? For more dried feathers? A 16 piece meal should not contain only 2 «larger» pieces either. The rest was feathery wings and drums, and I kid you not, microscopic. There was more feather than chicken. One puny piece was even missing a chunk of the chicken, like ripped off of it. Are they buying sick little discount chicken? Bottom line, I’d strongly urge anyone to avoid at all costs. I ended up throwing it out since it was just too unethical to feed to my kids. Actually made me feel horrible to even consider presenting that to any of my family. I’ve learned my lesson, never will I return to this place.

Service was so bad I was flabbergasted. The woman at the counter was so rude! When my husband and I asked to separate our order the woman had the audacity to say «You’re making things difficult aren’t you?» So to make it easier for HER and to not have to deal with her negative persona any longer we abided by her wishes and put our food in one box. Her attitude continued all throughout our transaction and others.
It blows my mind that someone would still have a job after such rudeness. I would call the manager and complain but they’ll probably offer a coupon for more greasy slime they call chicken. No thanks. I’ll do this review and hope and pray others will see it and avoid their lovely establishment at all costs!

I wonder if I’ve just been unlucky the 3 times I’ve been to this ‘hot spot’ The chicken has always been greasy as the Bog of Eternal Stench, or as dry as a the hottest part of Hell. The fritters would be alright if I didn’t have to drown my mouth in water just to be able to swallow each bite. The fries are soggy about 3 minutes after you get your order. Such a shame as I love fried chicken. And now my butt is itchy. This is going to be a bad day.

move over KFC, bigger, crispier, jucier! sometimes gotta wait. gotta eat the fries right away or else its soggy.

I had a spontaneous moment today, which lead to me stopping by Chicken on the Way. I’ve never eaten food from here before and didn’t know what to expect. I usually stick with boneless meat, so this truly was an adventure for me. I told the lovely older woman behind the counter that I’d never darkened the doorway, so she took me under her wing (no pun intended) and made sure I understood the menu. It’s not complicated but I had a few questions.
I ordered a single wing to say that I actually tried the chicken and was stunned by the fact that you can choose what chicken part you want. I also ordered a small potato salad and one corn fritter. The woman kindly told the deep fryer guy to throw in some complimentary fries, as I should try those too and if I like them, surely I’d return. This was very sweet of her and I couldn’t have asked for friendlier service.
The food was piping hot, for starters. The chicken was greasy, as most fast food chicken is, but I liked that it didn’t taste salty. The potato salad wasn’t chunky, but instead reminded me of course mashed potatoes. Despite this, all of the right flavors were there. The fries were good too and I loved the corn fritter. If I were a celebrity being paid millions to gain weight for a movie role, eating copious amounts of corn fritters to do it never would have crossed my mind until today. I would return to Chicken on the Way just for an order of these.
My lunch indulgence cost me $ 3.00. What a pleasant surprise! The box of calories I purchased cost less than a Starbucks coffee. Little lady, you knew what you were doing.
