Must Try Menu Item: Chicken Tenders at Da' Chicken Shak & More

Ever walk into a restaurant and wonder what to order? That’s the whole point of this segment. It’s for me to make on suggestion at any particular restaurant. My hope is that every restaurant has at least ONE good meal I think you’d love. The latest stop brought me to Da Chicken Shak & More. They have two locations: 2428 W. 13th St and another at 1112 W. 31st St. South. Hope you enjoy the latest installment in the “Must Try Menu Item” feature.

There’s one thing we always order when we stop by Da Chicken Shak and More. It’s the chicken tenders. Let’s start with the price. You can get 2pc for $4, 4 pc for $6, 6 pc for $8, 8pc for $10 and 10pc for $12. An order comes with a side.

Update: They now have a weekly special. It’s 99 cents a tender Monday thru Friday with the exception of Tuesday when it’s 65 cents.

Six piece is a good sweet spot for me since I can either finish it off or have a couple extra on the side for snack later in the day. When you make your order, be sure to ask to have it spicy if you love a slight bit of heat. It really elevates the flavor. Others in the family find it too spicy, mainly the kids, but it’s perfect for me.

Everybody has a style of chicken they love. Me? I love it all. Some want really crisp, thick skin on their chicken which is fine. But if you want a light, thinly-breaded, fall off the meat style of skin, this is right up your alley. The skin comes right off and leaves behind some of the most juicy and tender chicken you’ll have. Da Chicken Shak causes it chicken tenders for a reason because it’s exactly that…..tender. The seasoning over the chicken just makes it so much better. I had it again recently for dinner and really enjoyed it.
