There are now seven Krispy Krunchy locations in the area at various gas stations and drive-throughs.

It's quick, convenient, affordable and delicious.

THE CHICKEN

The steamy boxes of chicken that you walk out with are fresh and moist with large meaty pieces of legs, thighs, wings and breasts enclosed in a golden exterior that more than earns its crispy, crunchy moniker.

The cajun season infused in the breading adds some heat, kick and welcome flavor. It's a terrific option for parties if you don't have time to cook. Krispy Krunchy Chicken offers a 25-piece mix of light and dark pieces for $33.99 averaging out to a very reasonable $1.35 per piece. Your guests will definitely be asking where the chicken came from — it's that good.

It's also a solid option for lunch while you're out and about, or for dinner for the family, with two pieces ranging from $3.99-$4.99 and four pieces ranging from $6.99-$7.49 with the addition of a side and a drink contributing $2.50 to the overall bill.

A chicken and tenders family combo is $29.99 that comes with 12 juicy pieces of chicken, 6 piece cajun tenders, 6 biscuits and a large fry. There are sides like Mac-n-cheese ($2.49 for a small and $3.69 for a large), but keep your eye on the crunchy prize with a honey butter biscuit (69 cents each) thrown in for good measure. Cajun style fried fish and crispy shrimp are also available as dinner or lunchtime options.
