Are you craving spicy hot chicken done right? If so, you need to take a trip to Party Fowl, for sure. Set in the Destin Commons, this eatery serves hand-breaded, fried chicken at whatever heat level you’d like. The Southern Fried spiciness level keeps things mild, while Poultrygeist will have the heat haunting you for hours afterward. Want to stay in the middle ground? They have three additional spiciness levels to choose from, too.
You don’t have to decide between all the options upon walking through the doors of Party Fowl. Instead, you’ll want to wait to get seated, which could be a moment since they stay busy from opening to close. While you wait, check out their industrial-style dining room design and interesting black-and-white photos on the walls. NFL Sunday Ticket and other sporting events also play on the TVs year-round to help keep you entertained.
Once your table is ready, your host will help you get settled and then pass out the menus. Although you could order your drinks and appetizer right then and there, it’s best to take a moment to pour over the menu before you do. Otherwise, you’ll likely find even more things that catch your eye as you look for the main course.
While browsing the menu at Party Fowl, you’ll find many incredible drinks, like handcrafted cocktails, boozy slushies, and popular brews by the bottle. If you prefer to keep it alcohol-free, they can do that as well. Just choose between their energy drinks, zero-alcohol beer, and sodas to find your preferred beverage. As for their appetizers, they’re all served in huge portions to share with your tablemates. Get one or two, and you’re good to go.
When it comes to the main entrees at Party Fowl, the star of the show is their Nashville Hot Chicken, of course, but that’s not all they have. Gumbo, wedge salads and not-hot chicken fill out the menu beautifully. Whether you get it hot—or not—every last item comes out of the kitchen ready to gobble down at your leisure. Your server will take great care of you, too, always stopping by to refill drinks and see what else you need.
