Chicken Charlie

The first time we tried Chicken Charlie,   we immediately liked it and knew then that  it was the double deep fried chicken for us.
                                       Chicken Charlie
The Chicken Charlie branch we visited was the one in Amoranto Street in Quezon City.  Although the place was a bit cramped,  it was bright and clean;  service was fast.

Chicken Charlie
Our chicken wings were served hot and crispy.   The pieces were perfectly fried to a crisp and we liked its sweet salty flavor.   And a big plus for Chicken Charlie is that the meat part of the chicken didn't lose its flavor and moisture.  It wasn't dried out from all that double frying it had to go through.

And as promised,   the chicken wasn't oily,  messy nor soggy.

The place suggests you try the Bundaberg sarsaparilla with their chicken for an even greater tasteful experience.   But with or without this,   I am quite sure that your Chicken Charlie trip would be a delight for your tummies.

    1. K, ive tried both of them twice, and laging mas like namin ang Chicken Charlie than Bon Chon. Medyo dry kasi yung meat part ng Bon Chon eh. But masarap naman pareho. Happier lang kami at Chicken Charlie kahit mas sikat ang Bon Chon. :)

  2. Wow, super late post na to ate Gits! Lumipat na sila from Amoranto, sa Banawe na, about 1 or 2 blocks from Del Monte.

    They have more branches now, some are franchises. Unfortunately, the original stores have better quality chicken. But yeah, among the double fried chickens, I love Chicken Charlie the best din :D

  3. Thanks for that update, Nins! Naku, when I checked the metadata ng pics nito, 2010 pa pala! As in old old file ng old old laptop. Sayang naman if I discard, so post ko na din. Sad to know na not as good pala as the old branches. But at least the better one pa din diba. ;)
    We were able to try that small branch sa Ermita area. Good pa din naman nga. :)

    1. J, twice deep fried ata ang technique. Originally from Singapore ang ganyan. Ito yata ang local version, tapos ang Singa version is the Bon Chon. Tapos merong isa pang local version, yung Manang's Chicken naman. Itry din namin soon. :)

    1. They're both good naman. Pati daw yung Manang's Chicken na double deep fried din is good. Medyo matabang lang yung meat ng Bon Chon for us. Pero masarap sila lahat. I love chicken kasi. Lalo pag fried. :)
