Chicken-w-Bones focuses on just a few tasty elements: fried Chicken, baked chicken, potato wedges, fried rolls and baked rolls.KFC, Bojangles’, Popeyes and Church’s have made a career of serving a lot of chicken to people in a hurry.
For a local entry to make a dent in the field, as the stripper in the musical “Gypsy” famously said, “You’ve got to have a gimmick, if you want to get a hand.”
The folks at Chicken-w-Bones on Brainerd Road think they may have such a gimmick. They invite the customer to “Pack It to the Max” — to personally pack their bucket with as much chicken, potato wedges and rolls as they can wedge in.
Even then, it would be just another gamble if the chicken wasn’t good. But it’s good. It’s napkin-after-napkin-after-napkin good.
