Chuckleberrys

Good fried chicken chains separate themselves through consistency — the seasoning, the oil temperature, the resting time, the thickness of the coating. At Chuckleberrys, these aren't afterthoughts. The difference between mediocre and respectable is whether your order tastes the same on a Monday as it does on Friday, whether a drumstick is ever undercooked, whether the breading stays crispy past the first bite. It's easy to overlook these details when you're busy, but they're what keeps people coming back instead of trying somewhere else next time. The sides matter too — if the chips are soggy or the coleslaw is stale, it drags down everything else. When a takeaway gets these foundations right, it shows.
