Delaware might as well be called the Chicken State, because we know how to cook our birds. In fact, there are way more chickens than Delawareans here! So many of our small towns are filled with chicken farms, and many Delawareans raise egg layers for themselves. So, it's no wonder that the best fried chicken in Delaware is found in one of these small towns - and at a gas station deli, no less.
This tiny Liberty Gas Station in Milton is home to the Milton Quick Stop, a convenience store and deli that is one of Slower Lower's favorite places.
Like most small town gas stations, Milton Quick Stop makes delicious breakfast sandwiches to help start your day. Where they stand out, though, is with their lunch and dinner options.
The menu at this tiny spot includes burgers and other sandwiches, but they are famous for anything fried.
Try their fried fish - fresh every Friday! It does sell out quickly, so get there for an early lunch.
Many Delawareans will go far out of their way to pick up some fried chicken from the Milton Quick Stop because it is some of the best in the state.
The secret is in their batter - but they wont tell what it is! The blend of spices and the quality of their chicken makes every leg, thigh, breast and wing turn out crispy and juicy - a perfect combination.Try a combo and enjoy your chicken with a fountain drink and some got, fresh potato wedges to round out your lunch.
So, yes, you should believe the hype! Next time you're anywhere near Milton, stop by the Quick Stop for an unexpected treat.
The Milton Quick Stop is located in a Liberty Gas Station plaza at 122 Milton Ellendale Hwy, Milton, DE 19968.
