Chicken On The Way
The McKenzie Towne branch of Chicken on the Way, the Calgary fried-chicken chain, at 27 McKenzie Towne Avenue SE. It serves halal chicken and corn fritters. Order the chicken with fries and gravy. On a good day the chicken is juicy and well cooked, and the portions are generous for the price. You can swap fries for fritters for a small extra charge. The fritters are heavy by design, so they suit anyone who likes a hearty side. Quality is uneven here. One box can hold both under-crisp and burnt pieces, and some takeout orders have come with the wrong pieces or with few fries. Eat it fresh and check the box before you leave. The brown paper wrapping doubles as a tablecloth if you eat outside.
