they're supposed to have really good chicken and sides..
Beans and Cornbread in Southfield
Chicken Shack for me but they don't sport any mac & cheese nor do they carry mashed potatoes.
Pollo Chapin on Junction n. of West Vernor Highway is reputed to have great juicy fried chicken and Mac & cheese spiced up with chopped jalapenos. Metro Times has a review online.
I hate to be the grump, but can't we revive ONE food thread to ask what is the best, Chicken, Chinese, Hamburger, Wings, Pita, Thai, Steak, Lebanese, Irish, Egyptian, Polish, Slider, BBQ, Ethiopian, Tripe, Coney's, Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Tea, Dinner , 2AM Fast food crams AND Omlette bars that happen weekly? A new thread every two days kinda crowd's other topics.

wE ARE TALKING ABOUT DETROIT, HOW BT BEST SOUL FOOD?
I have never been to chicken shack.. how is their food.. no mashed potatoes? curious.. what all sides do they have?
If it's just fried chicken, carry out - Amish Chicken in the Gratiot Central Market
Chicken Shack is broasted, right? Is broasted the same as fried? Either way, I like it and the potatoes.
I don't think broasted is fried. But their chicken has crispy skin and juicy meat. Not really greasy.
They have a website and I highly recommend them.
But they are not a FRIED chicken place as this thread intends.
I love Chicken Shack for their ribs and potatoes. But for fried chicken, you gotta get to Lee's in Plymouth.
If the Colonel had their recipe, he would have been a General.

Popeye's. Love that spice
Actually Lee's Famous Recipe is a variation of the Colonel Sanders recipe. Lee Cummings is the nephew of Colonel Sanders. He went on the road with his uncle selling spice mix [[KFC secret recipe) and pressure cookers in 1952.The rest is history. I'm not a big fan of either of those over-spiced brands. They are both too greasy as well. I think both are lucky not have to compete with Chicken Shack nation wide. Their chicken is far superior...
I f$*@#g love Chicken Shack.
Wherever I go for chicken I always order 4 fried chickens and a coke ala Jake Blues just to see the clerks reaction.
Brosted is a combination of roasted and broiled, I think.
A broaster is a combination of a pressure cooker and a deep fryer.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broasted
Southern Fires has the best Fried Chicken in the City of Detroit...4 pieces 3 sides with real cornbread all for under under $10.00 you will need a carry out container. Beware of the Sweet Tea if you don't want to OD on sugar.
Gotta make the drive to Port Huron, Chicken in the Ruff is da' best!
The chicken at Chicken Shack is pretty good, but I have a hard time passing up on the cod dinner.
Those broasted potatoes drowning in butter are fantastic.
The ribs are excellent also.
Yeah I was fibbing to say I don't enjoy a piece of Lee's or KFC every now and again. They are both unique. The Colonel[[and his buckets) are unmistakable Americana though, don't forget that. His commercial's were genius.Dave Thomas was kind of like that with Wendy's too. Remember you didn't know who the owner of Lee's was, let alone that it was Sander's nephew.
To take it a step further you could say the Colonel is largely responsible for the success of Dave Thomas. It was on a trip to the Hobby House in Fort Wayne, Indiana to sell and promote his Chicken fryer's and mix where he met an employee named Dave Thomas. Dave ran and then owned several KFC's before starting Wendy's. Sander's gave him a sweetheart deal on the franchises after successfully running multiple locations for him. Makes sense when you think about Dave being in his own commercials. Sander's left his mark.
KFC and Lee's wil leave you with some serious GUT-ROT. IMO
