Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant

Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant is located next door to the Knott's Berry Farm Theme Park in Buena Park, California. The Restaurant is a sit down place that had a long wait for a table on the Thursday night we visited. Luckily, the restaurant has a take-out section next door. We decided to grab a three piece chicken dinner to go. While we were waiting for our fresh chicken to be prepared, we walked a couple of feet to the bakery and bought a boysenberry hand pie (like a big thick toaster pastry) . The pie crust was delicious and flaky, perfectly baked and covered in sugar. Instead of fruit, the pie filling had the consistency of (and suspiciously tasted like) boysenberry jam... and lots of it. I was expecting more fruit in a pie filling but this pie filling was not thick at all. There were many other desserts at the bakery so I would recommend trying one of the regular pies.
The chicken dinner came with fresh kernel sweet corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, two fresh baked biscuits with boysenberry jam. All of the sides were delicious, particularly the biscuits which were piping hot and tasted great with the jam. The corn and the potatoes were seasoned very well. The fried chicken was some of the best chicken I have ever tasted. The skin was very crisp and had a perfect amount of seasoning. The chicken was so hot and juicy. One three piece dinner was enough for me and the co-writer because we got a leg, a thigh and a huge breast. I don't know if all meals come this way so you may want to ask if these pieces are standard.

Note: Parking is difficult after the park closes. If you are not planning on going to the theme park, be prepared to circle the park a few times waiting for a car to give up a restaurant spot.
