In North Plains, located off the Glencoe exit. Conveniently off the freeway, and around the corner at a Space Age gas station, is yet another Krispy Krunchy Chicken (KKC). You can't miss it as there are KKC signs for it everywhere.
Like their other locations, they have a standard menu starting with Family Meals consisting of chicken plus tenders. Nuggets that I've never tried because they're new. Buffalo or traditional wings, a Cajun Chicken Sandwich, and some deep fried Honey Butter Shrimp basket. Standard are their Krispy drumsticks and thighs in which you can order a Krunch Box consisting of 2-pc, 3-pc, or 4-pc, with a side and biscuit. Ranging between $8.79 - $12.29. As for sauces, those are $0.59 each, which I don't get. They should automatically be included imo.
I'd say the staff working here fry it up right! Probably even better than other KKC locations. The times that I've ordered from this location, the guys behind the counter are pretty honest about what's newly fried versus what's been sitting around. I will say that I do love their bone-in thighs/drums versus their tenders. Although both really are crunchy goodness as advertised. Unfortunately, I cannot say that I enjoy any of their sides; Biscuits, jambalaya, mac-n-cheese, meh no thanks! Other than...
Their potato wedges, these are what I love! They've got two versions. One that's dipped in the KKC batter. Only they actually cost per wedge. Versus their regular wedges (or jojo's as they called it) which I think are seasoned just right, and you get more in a basket.
Overall, this location set the bar for how gas station chicken should taste like lol. And again, I'm not saying this is my all-time favorite fried chicken place ever, but the chicken is decent enough to satisfy your cravings. I'm beyond the dirty grins and reactions of "gross you bought fried chicken from a gas station." I really don't care what you think. You can have your garbage chicken nuggies from WacDonald's across the street. I'll choose KKC any day! read more
