I have always judged a meal by the feel of an artery tightening up or a skip in my heart. I love fried chicken and I have been all over the country in search for great, fresh made, "yard bird". In the little farm town of Gilman, Il, there is a truckstop right off I-57, exit 283, called K&H Truckstop. It is independently owned and operated. The setting is almost like sitting at your own dinning room table. Very homely and clean. Everything is fresh made and the smells of the place refleck it. I always order the fried chicken dinner. It comes with three pieces of chicken, leg, thigh, and breast, your choice of potato, your choice of vegetable, and fresh made bread or rolls. The meal is always more than enough.
The chicken itself is amazing! Its color is a golden yellow and the skin is always crispy. The cook fresh makes each order and the wait staff always informs the customers it's at least a 25 minute wait. Well worth it! This chicken is juicy and always hot. It is breaded and seasoned to perfection. The last bite is just as great as the first. When you have finished your meal, if you can, the total cost is less than ten dollars. So, if your ever on your way to Chicago, or on your way back, stop in at K&H and enjoy a little piece of fired chicken perfection. Just like my grandmother and mom use to make!
