Calling all chicken lovers, Genesee County will soon be the home of a new chicken joint.

Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken is opening in the former Telly's Coney Island in Flint.

If I counted correctly, this will be at least the fifth chicken restaurant in this area. I think it is safe to say we can now refer to Miller Road as Chicken Alley.

Here is an interesting fact: According to Wikipedia, the first Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken was opened in 1966 by Lee Cummings, the nephew of Colonel Sanders - yes, Colonel Sanders from KFC. 

What makes Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken unique is its honey-dipped, hand-breaded fried chicken. LFRC also serves the following menu options,

  • Pot Pies
  • Homestyle Bowls
  • Chicken Dinners
  • Chicken Wings
  • Spicy Wings
  • Chicken Livers and Gizzards
  • Chicken Strips
  • BBQ Chicken Sandwich
  • Chicken Sandwiches
  • Fish Dinner
  • Fish Sandwich
  • Kids Meals
  • Sides (mashed potatoes, rice, mac & cheese, coleslaw, and more)

You can see a few food photos below.

The Flint location at 3459 Miller Road, will be the 12th Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken in the Great Lakes State. You can visit the following locations now,
