Whenever the thought of fast casual restaurants that serve up fried chicken comes to mind there are some monstrous chains that we often think of that aren’t exactly reinventing the wheel, are they? Yet these establishments each present their own take on Southern-inspired Americana that customers seemingly can’t get enough of and continue to line up in droves for. So whenever we see a “little guy” step into the arena to do the same, it peaks our curiosity, and we have to wonder what differentiates them so they have a fighting chance against these recognizable fried food entities.
Daddy’s Chicken Shack, recently purchased by RE/MAX Founder, Dave Liniger, debuts a location in Northern Colorado Springs (7 Spectrum Loop) with bold placement just around the corner from a well-known, conservative chicken giant. This veteran-owned and operated business integrates the 303 Colorado sandwich as a local menu staple with Santiago’s green chili and a nod to their RE/MAX roots, based in Denver. Aside from the area code love to entice Coloradans, Daddy’s pressure cooking methodology stands out to give it’s sandwiches, tenders and nuggets a succulent edge that traps in tasty results.
“Pressure cooking seals in the flavor and juiciness of the chicken and brine without saturating the meat with oil,” says Tony Adams, President of Daddy’s Chicken Shack. “It’s an experience you’ll have to try.”
We paid the new location in Colorado Springs, a visit to sample the menu and can attest that this style of cooking heightens the overall appeal of your traditional fried chicken. We sampled the Nashville Hot, 303 Colorado and the Simple Daddy sandwiches which all showcase tender, buttermilk brined chicken breast with a lightly crunchy crust that is made to order with your individual heat index preference. We find the hot and even extra hot to be very approachable with a balanced sweet and spice ratio. Plus, we highly recommend asking for extra pickles and don’t skimp on the creamy slaw to add a tangy, textural accent to these popular sandwiches.
“We make it all in house with our proprietary recipes,” says Adams. “It elevates the flavors of all of our menu items.”
Don’t miss out on making these meal deals your own with a vast assortment of homemade sauces and we like the seasoned, restaurant-style fries as a side to optimize your dipping discernment.
“Our food is truly mouthwatering,” says Adams. Everything is made fresh upon order. Our pickles are amazing. Our sauces are incredible. Combine these with our juicy, premium, hormone-free chicken that’s pressure cooked (crispy) or perfectly grilled, you have yourself a culinary experience that’s clearly chef-inspired and restaurant quality.”
