"Hole-in-the-wall joint The Blazing Chicken Shack II has a short but impressive menu. It might not look all that much from the outside, but it's what's on the inside that counts. The star items are the fried chicken wings, catfish and oxtails which come with sides such as red beans and rice, mac ‘n’ cheese and fried okra.
