Chi-Chi’s Charred Chicken opened a year ago on Market Street, billing itself as “Mexican with a Southern twang” and offering a filling south-of-the-border meal not typical of other Mexican restaurants in town. After reading many positive reviews online, I decided to see what all the fuss was about.
THE MENU
Unlike most every Mexican restaurant in the Chattanooga area, you won’t find pork, seafood or beef on the menu. One look at the name is a dead giveaway. It’s all about grilled — rather, charred — chicken. But the chicken comes in so many incarnations, giving you so many choices — including sandwiches, salads, nachos and wings — that other proteins are hardly missed.
