Although this establishment now serves Chinese food, to me it is not the crowning jewel of this eatery. It has truly stood the test of time. As a young boy, mom and dad would slip me a few bucks, I'd get on my bike and pedal up there, back when the original owner was working his own place, breading and seasoning by hand (hint: this was in the late 70's).
This was THE weekly treat for me to take this delicious, crispy, one of a kind taste home in the basket of my bike and delve into a taste sensation. The "Colonel" got punk'd everytime, hands down.
You do not go here to sit in, you don't go here to take in the "ambiance"... It was never, ever the way this place was supposed to be. This is a place you order, pick up and just go home to enjoy those juices that will grace your chin. you sit at home and enjoy it at home, because you know you'd feel just a *twinge* of guilt knowing that someone else nearby was not enjoying this delectable treat.
Fried-chicken fans have been flocking to this independently owned and operated Victoria chicken joint since the late 1970s. What makes this spot different is the way they prepare their chicken. Rather than the usual deep-fry method, Chicken On The Run's "broasting" process involves a 24-hour marinade followed by a quick fry in a pressure cooker. The result is less grease and more flavour. Taste the difference with a full or half-order of their Dusty Hot Wings.
