* Where: Champy’s Famous Fried Chicken, 526 M.L. King Blvd.
* What: If you plan to add fried chicken to your July Fourth picnic, pick some up at Champy’s. People say it’s the best in town, said Crissy Champion, who owns the restaurant with husband Seth. It’s marinated for 24 hours to make it tender and moist, then breaded with “our super-secret breading mix,” Mrs. Champion said. “People like it because it’s cooked to order and not greasy. It’s very moist, though.”
* Price: $6.35 (two pieces with beans and slaw), $17.95-$35.95 (family meals with sides).
* Phone: 752-3847.
* Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.-midnight Thursday-Saturday.
