Krispy Krunchy Chicken Stoneham

Krispy Krunchy Chicken is the biggest fast-food chain that you have never heard off. They have more locations than Chick-fil-A (2,200 versus 2,100). They serve spicy Louisiana style fried chicken but doesn't have as many outlets as that other chain (2700). One reason you haven't heard about them is that their business model is to locate the outlets in convenience stores and gas stations. There is one in Wilmington that doesn't show up on their locator map, and one in Stoneham that does show up. The map also shows one in Burlington, but their address is in Batavia, NY. The only reason I found out about them was a sign in a small storefront in North Woburn saying "Opening Soon".

They are located in a Circle K convenience store/gas station. This is the sign you should be looking for. They have no seating inside, the Wilmington location has indoor seating.

Pricelist? We don't need no stinking pricelist. The Wilmington location has an online price list. They had Cajun Bites when I checked them out, but not today.

2 Piece Combo all dark ($3.89). Mashed Potatoes with Gravy ($1.99) 8oz. The biscuit was all soggy on the bottom, but the top was good. It was a BIG serving of real mashed potatoes with the gravy on the side. I really like that the gravy was separate. Both the gravy and the mash was fine, but they needed seasoning. The fried chicken was excellent, crunchy and juicy and cooked really well. The combo comes with a drumstick and a thigh. The thigh was big and it was the whitest dark meat I have ever seen. It wasn't really spicy but had a nice hint of heat.

Since they had no seating, I continued on to the Stoneham Common, where there is plenty of seating.
