Kickin' Chicken - Beaumont

W O W Blow away here a little bit. This review has taken a day or 2 to be finished because I want to do this place justice. I love Chicken and Fish places. I assume they are traditional and along the whole Chicago style. This is NOT that, and in an EXTREMELY good way. I wanted to get some wings (salt and pepper) and some plain fried rice. These aren’t something that normal C&F places have. I was curious. After noticing they had gizzards on the menu plans diverted and this is where it gets really good. The lovely lady at the counter talked me into ordering waaay more gizzards than I needed (in a good way). These things are fantastic leftover. They become MORE tender overnight in the fridge. Let’s get into the real review. Chicken wings: super moist, tender, and the breading is a cross between southern style and Korean style. Superbly done as well. Flakey, crispy, crunchy, and seasoned well. Fried rice: well seasoned, fluffy, and soft. If you are a fan of fried rice I would come here just for it. Gizzards: I am a traveler that seeks out gizzards. Fresh they were a bit hard with the connective tissue, they were juicy and tender in the meaty parts. Breading was A . I am a fan of morning cold right of of the fridge gizzards. They excelled in that category. I had them 2 days after and warmed them up just a bit, and even though they lost the crisp they became even more tender. I would eat them like this all day every day. This is fried chicken with an Asian flair and I love it! Will be back the next time I am in the area for sure! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!! I forgot about the fries. HIGHLY recommend those too!!! Very good!

Consistently great fried fish here, possibly the best in town. Seasoned just right. Crispy outside with moist, flaky insides. Full size pieces. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Has been my go to for many years

Everything is always amazing here but what I always go back for is the salt pepper shrimp with shrimp fried rice. I absolutely love it. I usually call in my order and then go pick up. Place is clean and service is fast.

Love the salt and pepper shrimp. Wish they offered a sall side house salad or coleslaw instead of rice. Still the best! A

The food was really good. I got the fried rice with wings and fried fish and shrimp. The only complaint was it was so cold inside waiting for my food.
