Blakely Chicken

Quite possibly the best fried chicken i have ever had. Not greasy. Large portions. Crispy and perfect. I also recommend the fried corn nuggets.

Five gigantic stars for five gigantic, hand breaded chicken tenders, two sides, bread, and a drink for $6 from a walk up shack across the street from the Piggly Wiggly.  Oh how I love South Georgia.

The only thing that was better than the chicken finger deal was the fried chicken thighs.  As a fried chicken purist, I appreciate those places that offer skin and bone on chicken pieces, and those from Blakely Chicken do not disappoint.

There's no menu, but I can whole heartedly recommend the fried okra (some of the best I've ever had) and fried corn nuggets (why does it seem like every chicken shack in Georgia offers these?  See my review of the Big Chick in Washington, GA for proof).  French fries looked fine, but at a place with this much character, I consider that a cop-out side.  

You can eat at the single picnic table out front, or you can get your chicken to go like we did and take your dinner to the town square for completion of the Mayberry fantasy.
