Fried Chicken Smoking shirt

The air hung thick with the promise of something delicious, a scent that already had my stomach rumbling before I even saw the source. It was one of those perfect Saturday afternoons, the kind where the sun seemed to stretch out the day, inviting laziness and good company. I knew exactly where I was headed: Uncle Joe’s, that little place on Elm Street where the aroma of –fried chicken smoking shirt– always called my name. He had this beat-up old smoker in the back, a relic from his grandad, and honestly, the way he coaxed flavors out of that thing was pure magic. I’ve probably told him a dozen times that he should franchise, but he just smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. He seems content just making people happy one perfectly crispy piece at a time.

The walk was short, and the anticipation was almost unbearable, I could practically taste the salty, smoky goodness already. Remembered when I was a kid and would beg my parents to bring me there. My mom always made the best sides though, so that was a plus. I remember one time, the first time I went to Uncle Joe’s alone, I was so nervous; I think I spilled my drink. He just laughed and brought me a new one, saying, “Don’t you worry, kiddo, it’s all part of the experience.” That, more than anything, probably cemented my loyalty. The feeling of family, of being welcomed, it always made the food taste even better.

When I finally reached the small, unassuming building, the savory smells were even stronger. I could see wisps of smoke curling up from the chimney of the smoker, a promise of slow-cooked deliciousness. There was a small line already, but it was moving fast, like a well-oiled machine. While in line, I spotted Mrs. Gable, a neighbor, and we exchanged pleasantries, talking about the weather. It was always a welcoming place with warm, friendly faces. Inside, the counter was covered in newspaper, which was a nice touch. I usually order the same thing, you see: the classic two-piece, extra crispy. You know, with the thigh and the drumstick, but every now and then I feel like mixing it up a bit. Today though, no, I was sticking with my favorite. The chicken always seemed to glisten, the skin a deep golden brown, practically begging to be eaten. Uncle Joe, wiping his hands on his apron, gave me a friendly nod. He had this way of making you feel like you were the only customer in the world.
