The Birth of Detroit’s Chicken Legacy
Detroit’s love affair with chicken isn’t new. It’s as old as the city itself! But we at Chicken Coupe Detroit have taken this classic and given it a twist that’s got the whole city talking. According to a recent survey by Detroit Eats, 78% of Detroiters consider chicken a staple in their diet. Well, we’re here to make sure it’s the best darn chicken they’ve ever had!
What Makes Our Chicken ‘Original’?
Now, you might be wondering, “What’s so original about fried chicken?” Well, let us tell you! Our chicken isn’t just fried – it’s a carefully crafted masterpiece. We start with locally sourced, halal chicken that’s brined to lock in moisture. Then, we coat it in our secret blend of spices (more on that later!) before frying it to crispy, golden perfection.
The Secret’s in the Sauce (and the Spices!)
Here’s where things get really interesting. Our spice blend is a closely guarded secret that took months to perfect. It’s a unique mix of traditional Southern flavors with a Detroit twist. And don’t even get us started on our sauces! From our tangy BBQ to our spicy Nashville Hot, each sauce is designed to complement our chicken perfectly.
From Food Truck to Detroit Icon
We started as a humble food truck back in 2011, and boy, has it been a wild ride! Today, we’re proud to be considered one of Detroit’s must-try food experiences. A recent poll by Detroit Food Lovers ranked us in the top 5 food trucks in the city. Not too shabby for a bunch of chicken enthusiasts, huh?
The Halal Revolution in American Comfort Food
One thing that sets us apart is our commitment to halal food. We believe great food should be for everyone, which is why all our chicken is 100% halal. And guess what? It’s not just for Muslim customers. According to a study by the Halal Research Council, 70% of halal food consumers choose it for its perceived health benefits and ethical production methods.
