The first time I visited Chicken Charlie’s at the Del Mar Fair I tried a fried Twinkie. It was amazing. Each year I looked forward to seeing what new delicious treat he would fry up. Later he opened a sit down restaurant in Clairemont and I looked forward to his Facebook specials which featured a discount or something not on the regular menu. Sadly that location closed.
The Rancho Bernardo location opened up and it was the fanciest yet. Now I visit this location to see what awesome treat Charlie is cooking up.
This visit the Facebook special was 4 pieces of fried chicken with mashed potatoes, and a biscuit. Biscuit looked like ones from KFC. It was fresh out of the oven with a thin crispy outer layer and fluffy goodness inside. Loved how moist it was and the delicious mild flavor.
Fried chicken had a thin crispy outer layer and tender juicy chicken beneath.
Loved the southern style batter which was seasoned with salt and black pepper.
This is one of my favorite places to eat fried chicken.
For dessert Chicken Charlie fried up a pair of Twinkies.
There was a crispy outer layer while the middle cake part was fluffy, and the center was filled with sweet cream.
Fried Twinkies were very sweet and delicious. The fried process changed the flavor a bit.
Customer service was excellent. Servers checked often to see if I needed anything.
Charlie fried up Twinkies for me although they are not a menu item. Chicken Charlie’s is one of my favorite spots to eat as you never know what awesome culinary creations Charlie is going to whip up.
