It's one of those days when a craving for a certain dish just doesn't fade away. And when it's a craving for some good old fashioned Southern style Country Fried Steak, you can always count on Chili's to do the job...
Almost resembling the classic Wiener Schnitzel, and it's no surprise, since its origins can be traced back to German and Austrian immigrants who settled in the American Southwest, making this a southern classic on its own. The thin slab of beefsteak is tenderized, breaded and deep-fried, smothered with a creamy black pepper gravy. Pair it with some mashed potatoes and sweet corn-on-the-cob, and you've got a classic on a plate.
Start your Southwestern feast with Crispy Chicken Tacos (P 325-2pcs/P 435-3pcs), soft and chewy flour tortillas with crispy chicken breast topped with chopped bacon, diced tomatoes, cheese, and lettuce drizzled with honey chipotle and homemade ranch dressing served with cilantro rice and sweet corn-on the-cob. The contrasting texture of the tender and juicy chicken breast with its crisp layer of breading blends with the medley of rich flavors from the smoky chopped bacon, tomatoes, cheese, and fresh lettuce, with the honey chipotle and ranch dressing completing the flavors.
For the mains, you can go for the Country Fried Chicken (P 450), tender and crispy chicken breast breaded and deep-fried with black pepper gravy, mashed potatoes, and steamed fresh vegetables...
...but for me, it's the Country Fried Steak (P 525), fork-tender, hand-battered beef steak with mashed potatoes and draped with creamy black pepper gravy served with a side of sweet corn-on-the-cob. It's everything you love about deep-fried dishes, juicy with a delectable crunch. One bite is announced by a crisp crunch, followed by the rich beefy notes of the beef steak, rounded out perfectly by the creamy black pepper sauce. The mashed potatoes and sweet corn complete the southern flavors. The simple, rustic, and comforting flavors of this southern classic are faithfully recreated at Chili's, and if you find yourself with a sudden craving for Country Fried Chicken, just head on over to Chili's...
