You’ll Find The Best Fried Chicken On The Planet At This Inconspicuous New Mexico Restaurant

Though the Land of Enchantment is full of numerous unassuming restaurants, there are only a few that we can call the best of the best. This quirky little spot in Moriarty might be deemed a barbeque joint, but it serves up the best broasted fried chicken on the planet, and some would even call it otherworldly. Prepare to become addicted after your first bite of this juicy, crispy goodness.

Welcome to Shorty's Bar-B-Que!

This unassuming restaurant in Moriarty might not look like much, but you'll find the best fried chicken you've ever had right here.

Though this is a BBQ spot, the broasted fried chicken takes over everything else.

Not to say that their ribs, pulled pork, and other menu items aren't awesome, but people drive from all over for the chicken.

Since this family-owned restaurant uses a broaster, which cooks with a combination of deep frying and pressure cooking, the chicken is tender and juicy.

Each batch of chicken is made to order, so it will come out hot and fresh. There's a bit of a wait, but it's so worth it.

Everything here is made to perfection and the smiling faces that serve you make the experience so much better.

From the BBQ sauce to the delicious sides, you'll know it was all made fresh.

Not only is Shorty's the best spot for fried chicken on Route 66, but we'd argue it's the best in all of New Mexico.

Shorty's Bar-B-Que is located at 1204 Route 66, Moriarty, NM.
