Chicken Annie's

1143 E. 600th Ave., Pittsburg, KS - (620) 231-9460
The chicken arrives glistening with grease. There's lots of chewy, fat-rich skin and the meat below is fall-from-the-bone tender, even if its flavor is somewhat distant. You can get whatever you like in whatever quantity: dark meat, white meat, wings, and backs, even an appetizer of livers, gizzards, and hearts.

A close view shows just how much chewy-crunchy skin comes on each piece. This thigh arrived at the table just seconds before the picture was taken. Note the glistening oil.

An inexpensive 2-piece dark meat plate ($5.20). This chicken is accompanied by the preferred sides: German potato salad and German cole slaw.

Annie's onion rings are terrific. This is a small order, which actually is quite huge.
