If you know, you know!

If you happen to life in and around the Detroit suburbs, then there is a pretty good chance you have indulged at the best place for chicken, namely Chicken Shack.

Their locations are hardly ubiquitous. Their restaurants are not huge. However their chicken, ribs and slaw are the best!

There is just something special about broasted chicken. If you never have had it, basically it is fried chicken that is fried under pressure to lock in the juices. The result is the lightest and juiciest chicken ever!

They always do a ton of carry out business so we were able to eat in as we had the place totally to ourselves. This was the first "dine in" meal I have enjoyed in ages!

We got potato wedges AND fries, just to be extra decadent!

If I ever had better ribs, I dont recall it!!!

Back in the day, everything there came out in Styrofoam containers. I am happy to see they made the switch to plant fiber and the the packages turn to soil in 90 days.

This is my new motto!!!

While the Chicken Shake broasted chicken was amazing, that was lunch. After a full day of shopping, a guy needs more nourishment to get his energy back. Nothing like a grilled ham n cheese! Of course Ben prefers to add a little roast beef into the mix on his!

Working on the griddle afford me more room to have a variety of items on the heat at the same time.

The signature OldGuy diagonal cut grilled cheese and ham!

I hope you all have had a beautifully sublime Sunday as well !!!!

I know how much you like your broasted chicken, so I looked it up to see if it would be near where you will be when you move to Smith Mountain Lake!

Sadly, the place I was all excited about, not far from you is called Chicken Shack but, no relation. Not even kissing cousins. I am afraid if your hankering gets that strong, you will be needing to make a run for the border.

It does look pretty delicious and how can you go wrong getting both potatoes? If one is good, two has got to make it better! This looks like a total #sublimesunday. One that can only be had on a #beautifulsunday.

I will have to find a place or start one!!! I cant think of a better way to retire than to open a broasted chicken place! I know there is always Bojangles' Famous Chicken that is ok too.

Thanks so much for the generous support. It really means so much to me. I try to put out decent content and it makes a body feel good to get a special reward. That made my day!

That's a great name for a chicken place... simple, quaint. It sounds (and looks delicious). But you lost me when you put those processed cheese slices on your sandwiches. Blasphemy! lol Okay, that's a bit harsh... but you really should put some genuine cheddar on those bad boys. Cheers! :)

Broasted. I thought this was a spelling mistake but I get it now. This sounds like a slice of little heaven.

I'm loving the sparse décor of the restaurant. Focus on the food and everything comes secondary.

These ribs……. Droooooool. Thanks I'm hungry now 🙂

I was about to say something about the styrofoam, 90 days. Who knew? I didn't and I'm glad to see companies taking this route lately.

I've always known you know how to cook based on your previous videos and posting. But damn! I've done the grilled cheese and ham often, but roast beef too? I'll need to add this to my next cook. #teamdiagonalcut for me, I've seen horizontal cuts before and I wonder what they were thinking. The diagonal cut allows easy eating and/or dipping. We will let people know about their follies 🙂

This is a great Sunday and I'm tired after typing out this comment haha

Oh Broasted is the real deal. In fact it is trademarked and patented by the Broaster Company.
https://broaster.com/
It cooks chicken in hot grease under pressure...much like the pressure cookers that used to be popular perhaps before your time. It cooks chicken in 10 minutes flat while sealing in all the juiciness! I swear if I ever hit the lottery or if Hive hits 10 bucks I am so going to buy one for my house!!! I never even seen one in Cribs!

That broasted chicken looks perfectly crispy. The ribs look pretty appetizing too.

We have a BBQ place here, local family, with several locations. Sometimes I stop by the drive through and just get the chicken only. Yum ! Yum !

Grilled ham and cheese isn't a shabby meal either. Now I want one of those too.

LOL !

I am drooling after seeing the name broasted chicken, I love them. Here, only a few restaurants and shops sell such kinds of broasted chicken but not all are delicious. That sandwich looks delicious...

I always prefer to help small businesses by buying their delicious food products, sometimes they are better than the top quality restaurants.

Yes I like small businesses as that really helps the community the most. What I wish we had more of is local curry places.
