Joe Bob sends us another wonderful treat from Denver. Hooboy it looks good, darned good.
For years I have been meaning to stop in at the famous Kapre Fried Chicken on Welton Street down in Five Points. Then when I did, turns out they have been shut for some time. The guys next door in the shoe repair store said if I wanted fried chicken just go across the street. Across the street turns out to be Welton Street Café. This is it's 4th or 5th local in about 17 years. They know how to do fried chicken. I had the dinner with 2 sides and iced tea. Man was it worth it....$10.95. Of course I got the okra, red beans and rice and corn bread.
The chicken was wonderful. Crusty crunchy skin with no grease clogging my arteries ..... well a bit maybe.
Four different pieces of chicken took up most of the giant platter. Best chicken I have had in Denver. I asked one of the women how they made it and all she would say is "deep fried". I asked in what but then got shut down. They also feature wings, burgers, pork chops, catfish, perch, whiting fish and peach cobbler.
They also do several Jamaican style plates. The take home leftovers passed the reheat test easily. Still fantastic.
The RTD train has a stop right in front so no walking required. You will go here to eat.....
