Times Description

Reddi Chick is a way of life for untold numbers of Westsiders, and the BBQ chicken is one reason why (the other reason is the ribs). Established 58 years ago, this landmark counter in Brentwood Country Mart has been under the current owners 29 years. In the basket are half a golden, crisp-skinned chicken, a nice mountain of fries and tangy BBQ sauce to dip it all in. Unless you're the supersize type, it's enough for two to share. It's better to eat it there while taking in the scene around the firepit at the Brentwood Country Mart's picnic tables, but if you can't, take your an a la carte bird home for $11.95. House-made sides -- beans, slaw and fries -- are available to go with that bird, which has a nice natural flavor but can be a little dry (ask for one that's less cooked).
