A few places serving food in our state are caught in a time
warp and remain unchanged since the days that they opened. Price’s Chicken Coop, established in 1962, in the South End of Charlotte is definitely one. Seeing the name of Chicken Coop, you know exactly what
to order.
The classic southern dish is fried chicken. Although just
about every home in the South has a favorite family recipe, in the Charlotte
area the preferred chicken is marinated in a secret blend for more than a day before
being fried in peanut oil by the Price family. The prices are almost as popular
as the chicken itself. A to-go chicken box is as low as $6.25, and a chicken sandwich
only $3.40.
