Our year of eating fried chicken in and around Peoria has almost come to an end. We thought we’d have one last wrap-up dinner at the MBIP World Headquarters with a tasty fried chicken dinner from Rick’s Crispy Chicken.

Let’s hit the road and pick up this fried chicken feast and get this wrap-up party going! Cluck yeah!

Rick’s Crispy Chicken

Here we are at Rick’s Crispy Chicken in Mossville, Illinois.

They have a drive-through, but I phoned the order in, so we’ll pick it up at the window and then, just like magic…

There’s our fried chicken feast on display!

We got the 16 piece chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw, biscuits, corn fritters and chicken wings.

What a fabulous fried chicken feast!

And here’s the crew for this final fried chicken dinner: Mike, Jeff and Tom.

Great to see all of them and now it’s time to dig in and enjoy our last fried chicken supper!

There’s Tom dishing his plate up and there’s a photo of Jeff’s plate.

Everything looks absolutely delicious!

Everyone is enjoying this last supper and we all raved about the food!

Rick’s fried chicken was crisp, tasty and delicious!

We’’re not rating this last dinner of the tour, but I highly recommend it. The fried chicken and all of the side dishes were tasty and wonderfully prepared.

We all enjoyed our final fried chicken dinner!
