Ms Tosha’s Chicken

I ordered chicken and it was very crispy, and the flour was light! Really enjoyed the fried chicken. They offer lots of flavors but I’ve only had original and spicy.

Fried chicken is hard to come by in Wichita. Ms Tosha herself began in a dilapidated drive-​in at 21^st and Oliver until it was bulldozed to build a Dollar Store, but she took her show on the road and now you, too, can enjoy scalding hot fried chicken in the middle of the summer heat.
The chicken is well prepared: fried at a proper temperature, seasoned, and served on a piece of wax paper to help absorb some residual grease. It’s a pleasure to bite into the crunchy skin and gain access to the tender meat within. They have a variety of seasoned spices that are used to customize your chicken, though aside from the «hot» flavor they can be a little overwhelming and unnecessary.
In addition to the chicken, you also have your choice of sides, provided that choice is french fries. It was a surprise to discover that the freshly cut fries are battered, making for a chicken-​fried fry that gets around the limp potato problem shared by many Wichita restaurants by avoiding it entirely. The dredge does provide the necessary crunch that we need in a good fry, though it’s a little overindulgent to throw a starch on a starch.
If there’s one downside to Ms Tosha, it’s the very idea of fried chicken. It’s cooked to order, and fried chicken takes a good 10 minutes to cook through. This wait can easily compound when there’s a line, so you’re going to be there for a long time, relative to other food trucks. Still, for a proper taste of fried chicken in Wichita, it’s worth the wait.
