Hi Five 24 – Baked and Fried Chicken

If you’re looking for comfort food, you don’t have to go much further than fried chicken. In the whole debate over who has the best fast food fried chicken in town… for my money, it’s always been Church’s > KFC. Of course, LA Chicken beats all of them but I put LA Chicken in a whole other class by themselves.

So, when I saw that there’s a new fast food place that sells not only fried chicken but baked chicken… I was intrigued. Plus, they’re open 24 hours to boot!

We stopped by one night with a hankering for chicken and got their 4 piece meal ($12.49 with wedge fries and a drink) along with a medium potato salad ($3.49) and a medium gravy ($2.59). Wanting to try their different choices, we got a mix of baked and fried chicken and a mix of their regular and spicy. The meal comes with legs and thighs and they gave us an extra drumstick since one of the pieces was on the small side.

Both their baked and fried chicken had nice, moist flesh but I preferred their fried chicken the best. The spicy variety had a good heat to it and the fried chicken skin had a very crispy crunch to the bite. The seasoned wedge fries turned out quite good as well with a slight crisp to the exterior.

While still not a match for LA Chicken, Hi Five 24 is a tasty alternative to Church’s Chicken.
