The Chicken Shop

The Chicken Shop is an unassuming, Vietnamese-owned eatery located in Santee specializing in fried chicken wings, fried catfish, fried cod, and hibachi-style chicken fried rice. The dry spice wings stand out for their intensely flavorful Cajun-style seasoning and remarkably juicy texture.

Commenters generally rave about the food, frequently commending the flavorful chicken, fried catfish, and fried okra. However, a small number of critiques mentioned that the seasoning can lean overly salty, and one commenter noted a past health department closure concern.
