Good Lord, this chicken is fantastic. Butter crust something...it's great. Here's the deal: it's a hole in the wall on Normandy (not Archer. Do a google search.) You walk in, down a couple stairs, facing those waiting for food. Ignore them. You are a chicken rock star. Walk in, ask for the order you've (hopefully) called in...20-30 minutes for chicken.
The place is really small, but clean. There is a place to get your order, as well as a few odd, bright yellow booths (that sit under fluorescent lights) to eat in the other side. You can eat here if you want to. Ambience is lacking.
Meanwhile, employees are polite and friendly. Then, they give you chicken in boxes, like bakery goods, which is just so pleasing. (What's better than a box of chicken, separated by pretty white paper? Old school, my friend, at its best.) Get that chicken home and dig in....good god almighty...you will not be disappointed.
Long story short, this chicken is excellent. Are you going to compare it to White Fence Farm? Well, I will say this: WFF beats the Mini Hut in 1. corn fritters and 2. cole slaw (way better) ...beyond that, the chicken is a personal choice.
Hmm, really good fried chicken. Â The place is a dive which probably explains why everyone else did take-out while we ate at one of three run-down booths. We waited for the chicken which was cooked fresh and came out hot, flavorful and moist with the right amount of salt. I'm guessing that it was brined. It was really delicious and the crispy coating was light and tasty. The potato salad was not good -- overly dressed and flat flavor. But we came for the chicken and that did not disappoint.
