What is or was your favorite chicken restaurant? Mine was I think called Bunches. It was located on 6th and N Walnut. It had the best broasted chicken in town. It was on the west side of the road in an old run down gas station. You would have to wait in line to get your chicken, but it was well worth it. It closed in the early 80's when the expressway came through. M-:hungry::hungry:m-m-m-m-m that was some good chicken.

I agree with you!!! Whenever my folks took us on a picnic, usually Lincoln Park, we stopped there and got chicken.

Only one to compare is/was on S.W.44th west of Agnew! Southside of 44th.

I've recently become partial to a little restaurant in Piedmont called Chicken & Chops. It's just as good as Eischens, IMO, but only 1/2 the driving distance to get there.

Lived a half mile East of there when it opened. Good chicken--new way of frying. Do you remember Toland's Dairy at the same location?

Hey, on highwy 39 east of Lexington, there is a Hole-in-the wall feed store/convenience store (don't mean that in a bad way) but, they have undoubtedly the "Best" Broasted Chicken around. Kinda like Kerns Chicken. My wife has me every now and then go by there when coming back from the "Farm" and get Chicken........It is very "Tasty".....Called Bill's

The only thing is that the menu is pretty limited and just about everything is fried. But, when I'm in the mood for good fried chicken, it's my favorite. The wings are good too.

Eischen's is #1
Sounds crazy, but Homeland on 33rd in Edmond has a chicken special on Tuesdays and their chicken is really good.

Walnut Street Broaster Fried Chicken was just around the corner from Pulliam's BBQ King. Two of my all-time favorites, but sadly gone.

It's a unique flavor and I like it, but by no means is it on my favorite list.

I think he cooks it too much in the smoker. Smoking it for a while to get the
smoky flavor then finishing it in the deep fry would be better.

I haven't had anything but 'wings & things'. Does he smoke the catfish
before deep frying? How about the Shrimp?

Is Bobo the guy who's takes your order and money? Is Bobo a real person?

For all you chicken lovers. Go and try the chicken at the new restaurant that just opened called Cajun King on 63rd & MacArthur. It is the bomb! I am just hooked on it. That and the catfish.

Speaking of chicken...

Has anyone had the BBQ chicken at Ken's? It's across the street from the
Amber highschool. The steaks are incredible but I've not ordered the
chicken.

There's something about a restaurant that doesn't have a menu.

He serves 2 steaks, ribs and chicken. He also wears red suspenders and is
very loud and fun. Think of it as a 5 star restaurant in Mayberry.

Fair warning! If you step out of line to go to the restroom the next party
might get your spot. There's always a LONG line and no reservations.

I eat at Ken's at least once a month, well worth the 30--45 minute drive from OKC. The chicken is very good, but I usually order the large steak. The salad bar is limited but always fresh, includes fried okra and pinto beans. Ken's is only open on Thur., Fri., and Sat. from 4--9 PM.

Probably because we're living in the present.

I liked the chicken, too. Don't they still have "Chicken in the Rough" at the
restaurant on N.W. Expressway? Their pancakes were great! I don't care
how cheap the syrup was LOL! I always liked it when the waitress called
me sweetie or honey. I thought I was a hot 10 year old!

Now I've got to go and find out. Not that I'm a hot 10 year old! Y'all get
your mind out of the gutter! ACK! I mean if the chicken is still good!

As far as fast food fried chicken goes I like Church's and Chester's (Chester's is sold in quick stop type places) and there used to be a Golden Fried Chicken chain that I thought was pretty good.

Eischen's, The Rock Cafe (Stroud), Pop's (Arcadia) & Granny's Kitchen (Chandler) have all evolved in the same way. If your in the area then stop, but don't make a special trip because it's not worth it.

OK guys. Reading all these posts about chicken made me hungry, then Prunepicker getting 'virtually' busted for dragging his bass to a chicken place near a massge parlor kinda threw me off track..LOL
The very best was back in the day when Momma would put a pot of water on to boil and Daddy would go out in the backyard wring a few chicken's necks, dunk em in the boiling water, pluck em, cut em up and cook em in a big old iron skillet. There were too many kids for us to go out to eat. I don't think I ever ate chicken in restaurants until I was grown.

My Dad was raised on a farm and he said they seldom ate chicken. Plenty of eggs chowed down on , but few chickens.

They were a "cash crop"
