Ordered again to share with the family! $33 for a small app to feed 5 adults and 2 kids My dad kept going for the tenders, which is a good sign My brother in law and cousin also enjoyed it Would be 5 stars if the fried rice and the French fries improved Tenders Were improved! They were more moist, but they weren't mind blowing. Easy to share with others if you cut them up. Fried rice I love fried rice, but this was a bit lacking. I had a couple bites and nothing about it really popped for my tastebuds. French fries Not that crunchy for French fries. My BIL said they def remind him of McDonald's fries in the 90s! They had an addictive seasoning, but without the crunch it's hard to continue eating I am a large fan of the chili oil though! read more

Wait, what's in the seasoning because the chicken is on fire! Wow, the flavor is seriously nothing I have ever tasted. I think he brines his chicken and seasons it with some kind of secret ingredient that I cannot figure out. Whatever it is, I'm loving it! The batter is crispy and delicious and the chicken is super juicy. Even the fries are cooked and seasoned to perfection. If you live in the Santa Ana area, DoorDash it to your house. You can choose either of the original or the spicy. He also sells his chili oil that is used for his spicy wings. read more

I came across this chicken spot while scrolling through my IG FYP and was instantly intrigued when I saw they fry their chicken in tallow! As a fried chicken enthusiast, I can tell and stray away from those using low quality refined oils leaving that greasy it's been sitting there and reused over and over oily taste (iykyk). I'm all about FLAVOR, and the tallow keeps it tasting clean and enhances the Khmer spices letting them really shine. Here's what I ordered: Spicy Wings: The chicken is soooo crispy and light on the outside, giving you a satisfying crunch, but the inside is tender and juicy. The spices are just right--not im melting my tongue spicy but enough kick to make the unique flavors pop. It's giving Southeast Asian-American perfection. Fries: I have no idea what's in the seasoning, but I need a lifetime supply of it. There's a slight sweetness to hit making it unique and something i haven't tried before. While I'm usually a skinny fry gal, these completely hit the spot and satisfied my fry cravings. Jar of chili oil: I also ordered a jar of the crispy oil so that I can use on everything else I eat. Highly recommend adding to your cart so you can keep the flavors going on other dishes as well! This spot is a game-changer for fried chicken lovers looking for new flavors and crispy perfections. If you've come this far, give a helpful if you're team flats or a thanks if you're team drums. read more

Chris P Kitchen - Plain, tossed in chili oil, and fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Santa Ana, California

His chicken is so yum! The batter on the chicken wings is REALLY good. Like delicious, addicting, and CRISPY; living up to its name! I prefer the regular plain wings, but I tried the spicy, tossed with his homemade signature chili oil and let me tell you-if you can handle the heat, (it is spicy!) it is delicious; sweet and spicy at the same time. I should've bought a bottle of the chili oil to take home with me. My friend and I ordered to go at the kiosk at South Coast takeout but sounds like you can get it delivered to your doorstep jiffy fast via the usual delivery methods! read more

UPDATE: from my last review, Chris has really improved everything overall. I'm a regular and I can confidently say his food just tastes better and better. The wings never disappoint, fries are always seasoned well, and I love that spicy fried rice SOOO MUCH!!! He released a new line of chili oils and that ghost pepper is so good but so damn spicy (totally worth it though). All his chili oils have amazing flavor and taste. I guarantee you haven't had anything like his chili oil, it's a must try. He's also just a super nice guy and always throws in an extra wing or tender depending on the chicken size. Trust me, you have to try his food! read more

Ordered online then rolled to the Ghost Kitchen ( that shocked me, I had no idea) got lucky enough to meet the actual Chris, not only did he make my dinner he was the nicest guy and hand delivered it to me ( pretty sure he could see my confusion) The food was incredible, the chicken is sooooooo moist unreal. I've never in my ,45years of life eaten chicken and returned a bare bone it finally happened, I also ate all 8 pieces to myself. Everyone else who starve... They could chrispmyass I'm coming again brining the crew. You're brilliant and good is pure love read more

I had gotten the 4-Piece Jumbo Chicken(Half & Half) tender along with the Spicy Fried Rice. Of all the food I've gotten from this Ghost Kitchen (South Coast Takeout), Chris P's Kitchen stands out from the rest. I had went into the food thinking it would be average or a bit above average; I am so glad that Chris's food had exceeded my expectations. The fried rice was especially good, the rice and fried chicken seasoned just right and was complemented well with the spicy chili oil. You'll find me ordering from Chris P's Kitchen again! read more

I do not eat much fried chicken because I never found a good one. This one is my top 2 and one was homemade! I got this for lunch one time and came back a week later from West Co just to bring some for everyone to try. They all loved it and they will definitely come back when they are in the area. read more

Ordered on door dash and got half half plain and tossed with chili oil tenders. The chili oil tender has a very nice mild kick, but the plain tenders did seem to be on the plain side. That said the side of French fries was definitely flavorful--good umami flavor on it. The jumbo tenders were also quite large. 3-4 for someone with an average appetite is more than adequate. Sad that at the time of my order I could not get the fried rice. :( read more

I'm not gonna lie... as a person with a spinal cord injury the food really has to be worth it for me to get up by myself, load myself in and out of the car, and make the drive to pick up something to eat. And trust me, as a picky eater this spot is REALLY WORTH IT! First things first! The fact that the chef intentionally leaves the containers of (fried) food opened so that the breading doesn't get wet & soggy tells me how much attention he pays to the detail! Most places don't even care and close everything up. So just this part right here won me over. The chicken strips are fresh, crispy af, and are properly seasoned. The stuffed jalapenos are straight gas! I definitely recommend the spicy fried rice. It was so damn good and flavorful trying it made with the beef tallow for the first time. Which is honestly way better than some bland cooking oil that most places use. Seriously, DO NOT SKIP ON THE ONION RINGS or the STIR FRY CHICKEN. All the onion rings have a perfect crunch; even the ones at the bottom of the container. And the sauce used on that stir fry... phewww it's BOMB! You get the taste of sweetness kinda like teriyaki sauce but with fine hint of taste of peanut in the mix. I'll be definitely coming back because I've never found a place like this before! So do yourself a favor and do not pass up on this new fav. Because right now for the month of June the chef is adding a few extra pieces of chicken to every order! read more

Do you love fried chicken as much as I do? Well, you will definitely love @chrispkitchen ! Located at 2509 S Broadway, Santa Ana CA This place has some of the best if not the BEST fried chicken I have ever had! The batter is crispy and flavorful and it's not too thick and the chicken itself is cooked to perfection! My mouth drools just thinking about it. This place also serves the best chicken tenders a million x better than Raising Canes. My favorite is their fried chicken with chili oil sauce. It's hot and flavorful with a decent kick and there's nothing like this anywhere else! You can even buy the Chili Oil that is a special in house recipe made by Chef Chris himself. It's perfect to add to any of your at home recipes and meals. AND do not forget the FRIES! The seasoning on these fries are so simple but so delicious. If you don't want fried chicken they also have some of the best fried rice I've ever had. This place just opened up two weeks ago but I guarantee you once the word spreads about this new place in Orange County it will go viral and have a good wait. Try it now and you won't regret it! Best of all they are open for your late night munchies til 2:30AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Keep in mind you can only order for pick up or delivery only as this place will get busy! If you haven't tried yet, make sure to tag someone to enjoy these late night eats with! read more

I've got two jars of Chris P's kitchen's chili oil in my check-out cart and I'm currently typing out this review with my greased up fingers while scarfing down several days-old leftovers from this gem of a find LOOOL We had a random craving for chicken, as one does on a late night Sunday evening, and stumbled across Chris P Kitchen (haha "CRISPY"...GET IT?!--yes this is important for the review). It's a cloud kitchen so the facility is shared by other food businesses. You can place your order either online or at the kiosk on-site and you will be texted a message to unlock a designated locker when your food is ready for takeout. We had the lovely honor of meeting the owner, Chris, himself! And he gave us the rundown of a whole gamut of his creations: 1. Chicken Chili Sweet Fries: Our personal favorite. A fun, inventive twist on two things you know and love. Chris really took two staples: fries and chicken tenders--and said "COMBINE THEM". Genius. Perfectly crisp, bubbly skin sandwiches the tender, juicy chicken meat. If you've ever had the Vietnamese "heo quay" (crispy roasted pork belly), you'll have a good idea of what I'm talking about when it comes to a comparable texture. The chopped chicken tenders were layered on a bed of fries and topped with his signature chili oil and a sweet chili sauce. Absolute PARTY in my mouth. 10/10 mouth feel. This came in a generous size--very shareable. 2. ChrisP Chicken Tenders tossed in Chili Oil: Perfect for if you finish the above mentioned chicken chili sweet fries and decide you need some more o' dat chicken!!! These pieces are CHONKY. I barely had one before I felt a food coma coming on. Sooo crispy and juicy. Opt for it tossed in the Chili Oil. Don't be a narc and call the cops on Chris P when you find out how ADDICTING that chili oil is. Don't do drugz, eat Chris P Kitchen's chicken 3. Chris P Beef Tallow Fried Rice: Okay fair warning, by the time I got to this dish, I had run out of SPACE and was sickeningly full so this could be reflective of my lackluster thoughts on it. The fried rice was ALRIGHT, personally. In terms of flavor, it was not as memorable for me and I'm not sure I would go out of my way to get it again though I do want to give it another try under different circumstances (when I'm not gasping for air as I try to fit in another bite). 4. Chris P Fried Fries: One word. SEASONING. I'm not a great judge of fries because I'm predisposed to loving them in any iteration. But these were good! The seasoning has a bit of a sweet, saltiness to it. Next time, I might try ordering them a tad more well done for a bit more crispiness. (His food is sooo good as leftovers for anyone wondering! I just popped them in a toaster oven for like 5 min and relived the experience again!) Overall, this was such an exciting find and we can't wait to come back and see what Chris P's cookin' up next!! Until the next late night craving! :) read more

Brought home some chili oil wings as well as the standard wings to share with my family and everyone loved it! The chicken stayed crispy despite the long drive home and the chili oil on top. The chili oil really elevated the wings. I've never tasted one with a flavor profile like Chris'. I brought home a jar of that too. It will be replacing the lao gan ma I normally use. read more

Chicken was juicy, so succulent and all the spices and flavors of heat and sweet on the palate hits just right. I will be back for sure!

ChrisPKitchen operates as a ghost kitchen from Santa Ana, offering delivery and pickup options through services like Uber Eats, Postmates, and DoorDash. He also makes his own chili oil and it is suuuuper good. They ship national wide also for the chili oil. He has regular all the way to reaper hot. Some of the best ive had. Now for the chicken, it really good and even taste better the next day. That shows that it is high quality cooked chicken. Cambodian-inspired fried chicken is cooked in beef tallow, giving it a rich, savory crunch and standout depth of flavor that's both indulgent and distinctive. If you're eager for flavorful, Cambodian‑driven fried chicken with bold seasoning and generous portions, ChrisPKitchen delivers. The unique use of beef tallow elevates the frying experience--yielding deeper flavor and a crispier crust. The Chili Sweet Fries are a standout twist you shouldn't skip. Portion size, flavor, and price hit all the right notes. This Chicken is top tier... Hands down..... read more

Amazing! Chicken was , something different from what i've usually had or eaten. Got the Chris-P chicken that was tossed in their chili-oil sauce, OH MY GOODNESS. Enjoyed every bite! Can't wait for what they have in-store next. read more

Unfortunately, this place was a miss for me. I got chicken wings, and I had seen a couple of reviews noting the slight sweetness in the seasonings, but I wasn't expecting it to be as pronounced as it was. Also, I found the skin of my chicken to be very rubbery, which made for an unpleasant and gelatinous mouth feel. The overall flavor was just okay. I do like the fact that they fry in beef tallow, but that's probably about it. Also, I found that the wings don't reheat in the air fryer very well, so I would recommend only buying enough for what you plan to eat right away, if you want to try it. The stars are mainly for the fact that they accommodated a special request for me, which is evidence of good customer service. Otherwise, I don't think that it was worth what I paid and I don't plan to come back. read more

Food is fire. Wings perfectly fried in beef tallow made it so flavorful with the perfect crunch. Get it with the chilli oil and it's a full experience! The fries were also seasoned very well. I'll be ordering anytime i'm in OC craving fried chicken. The chili oil is sooo good! read more

So good!! Moved to Costa Mesa from Long Beach, missing Cambodian food so much! So nice to have it close by...the chicken wing is so good, the batter is season so nice reminiscent of home. The fries has an amazing seasoning that dipping it in any condiments would not do it justice. Chili crunch so freaking good! Highly recommend getting a jar for your pantry it's a staple! I hope that Chris P Kitchen will grow bigger and bring more Cambodian dishes to Orange County ! read more

Don't waste your time driving there in person, a guy at a window in a tiny room is all that's there and he said " Chris P is not here right now...maybe later". This was at 7PM read more

My friend brought us some chicken from here, and wow--instant fan. The crunch? Perfect. The spice? Just the right kick. And the oil? It felt intentional, like it actually added to the flavor instead of weighing it down. Every bite was one of those pause and appreciate moments. If you love good chicken, don't sleep on this spot! read more

This place is a bit weird since it only exists as a ghost kitchen. The main thing here is that the chicken is essentially topped with chili crisp. If you like this then it's great but to me this wasn't a great chili crisp recipe. Also the batter of the chicken didn't retain crispness through the to go process and the chili oil. read more

Huge supporter of small business came here after seeing it on TikTok and found out that they are a little over mile walk from me. Now that I have a destination for my walk I made my way there. Ordered the popcorn chicken with the chili oil from the kiosk at the entrance of the ghost kitchen. It came out in about 10 minutes piping hot. Normally I don't eat things with chili as it hurts my stomach but like those people who are lactose intolerant and continue to eat dairy cause it tasty and adds flavor I'm the same with chili lol. So with my bag in hand I made my way home. Ate the popcorn chicken on my walk back home. The popcorn chicken and chili oil was a nice combination and quite tasty. The only thing I wished that there was something like a fork or skewer to make it easier to eat on my walk back home as my fingers were a mess lol. I forgot to grab a picture of the popcorn chicken before I ate so heres one that almost done being eaten lol. RIP my stomach later haha. read more

Place was bomb AF! Owner was super kind, and I even found an extra wing in my order! Definitely coming back, great energy

Really solid fried chicken! The seasoning is on point, super flavorful with just a little hint of sweetness that makes it really addictive. The spicy fried chicken has just the right amount of heat, not too intense, but full of flavor. Even the fries have this slight sweetness that balances everything out. Definitely a place I'd come back to! read more
