Daddy's Chicken Shack in Tinton Falls is definitely worth checking out if you love Nashville hot chicken!
I stopped in to try this brand-new spot and really enjoyed everything I ordered. First up were the fried pickles, which are made in-house and then deep-fried until perfectly crispy. They were a great way to start.
The chicken is hand-breaded, and I tried the tenders with the mild spice level. The breading was super crispy, while the chicken itself was juicy, flavorful white meat. There are also several homemade sauces to choose from, and I really enjoyed trying the different flavors.
I also tried the Nashville Daddy, their Nashville hot chicken sandwich, as well as the Big Daddy. Everything was flavorful, crispy and satisfying. And yes, the paper towels on the tables are there for a reason! This is definitely the kind of food you're supposed to get a little messy eating. If you walk away completely clean, you probably didn't do it right.
The atmosphere was fun, the food was fresh, and there was even a little star sighting while I was there!
Overall, I really enjoyed my first visit to Daddy's Chicken Shack and think it's a great new addition to the Tinton Falls food scene. If Nashville hot chicken is your thing, definitely stop by and give Daddy's a try! read more
