Review for the Chicken Coop

Good evening good people and thank you for joining me for another Fat Boy Problems' blog. We have been to a lot of great places, we have enjoyed some great food and the wins don't stop this week!!! This week we will be highlighting the Chicken Coop.!!!

The Chicken Coop is another husband and wife duo who are killing the game. They have found a way to take one thing that everyone loves, chicken, and put their own little twist on the delicious entree!!!

We traveled back to Wears Valley and the scenery was once again amazing.  A nice beautiful day to enjoy some of the best food you will have in the East Tennessee area. The Chicken Coop is a mainstay at Wears Valley Social so anytime you are that way, stop on in for some good food and entertainment. 

Now the specialty of the Chicken Coop is chicken, of course, but we must start out with sides. We had the Fried Mashed Potatoes and the Honey Sriracha Fries.  Let me tell you, each of these held a special place in my heart!!! 

Let's start with the Fried Mashed Potatoes.  This was a pleasant surprise.  How they came up with the idea of placing mashed potatoes, cheese and bacon, place it in an egg roll wrap and fry it to perfection.  This combo was phenomenal and left you wanting more. Then we moved on to the Honey Sriracha Fries and it took fries to another level.  Honey Sriracha, beer battered fries with that extra crisp and bacon.  Now tell me you don't want to try either of those right now? I'll wait.

Next we had some healthier alternatives.  We had the Island Chicken Wrap with the cucumber salad and the Orange Chicken with mango coleslaw.  Both of these combos were amazing.  The wrap had a great crunch from the chicken,  sweetness from the mango coleslaw. It just worked.  The cucumber salad was refreshing as well. The Orange Chicken was a pleasant surprise of sweet and spicy.  But the mango coleslaw was the king. If you enjoy coleslaw this will not disappoint.  The only bad thing is the mangos are ripe only one time a year that they use.

We finished of the day with two more of the favorites,  the Chicken Salad Wrap and the Drunken Nachos.  Now we had so much already but we had to finish strong.  The Chicken Salad Wrap was crazy. The chicken salad itself was worth of the highest praise. And the Drunken Nachos were out of bounds too. The portion they give you could  be a meal by itself. 

To wrap this all up, the Chicken Coop didn't disappoint.  The hospitality, the great food, you can't miss. It will definitely get a return trip!!!

The Chicken Coop gets 5X Tee with no doubt.  If you are disappointed after having their great cuisine,  I don't know what to tell you!!!

So, make sure you go show some love and support your local businesses.  Visit Wears Valley Social and check out all the trucks and vendors. 

Make sure to take care of the ones that you love but most importantly make sure you treat yourself!!!!
