I googled Chicken & Mojos and found this blog entry. The only place I have ever seen or heard of Mojos is Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where I went to college in the late ’70s and early ’80s. They were served at two pizza joints near campus; both places closed down over the years, but one has reopened with “Pizza, Chicken & Mojos” prominently displayed on their sign. Unfortunately they weren’t open late enough when I passed through that town recently. And mojos were NOT wedges, but slices of potato battered in the same batter as the fried chicken. Very delectable side dish.

I happen to own a restaurant in Cape Girardeau MO that serves the best Chicken and Mojos! And they are impossible to describe to people that have never had one. I resort to giving out samples.

I agree with another Poster that the dip is key. However, I grew up in Oregon with a Family outing that consisted of Chicken and Spuds (Mojos) and the dip, the dip was amazing. Some kind of Cream cheese/Sour cream maybe and dill, Fryer Tuck was the restaurant. I love the dip and I’ve spent years trying to find it or a recipe. Can anyone help, I need a killer Mojo Dip???

i love mojos! whenever i hang out with my best friends at the mall we never leave the mall without buying those. well yeah it’s kinda difficult to find it, but there’s the only store in sta.lucia east mall, that’s where we always buy. and most of my classmates don’t know it either, we’re like aliens when we talk about it in the classroom.

I have grown up on Chicken and Mojos and just to clarify, they are NOT a ‘Potato Wedge’. Actually, They are fried mashed potaoes and the person whom commented that Chicken and Mojos are normally served together due to being fried together is completely correct! This is a wonderful meal everyone should try at least once (and without dip-just takes away from the naturally flavor)! Enjoy!

Until I moved to Northern Indiana, I never knew what a Mojo was. I’ve always referred to them as potato wedges. My wife thought I was crazy and I could have sworn she nuts. Now, I know what a Mojo is. It is a potato wedge and a Jojo. What Wikipedia needs to do is just add the description Mojo to their already existing Potato Wedge info page.

I am trying to find out where to get some good fried chicken and Mojos in Vancouver B.C. as we are planning a picnic at the beach this weekend and they would work in nicely with the menu.
They used to be available at the supermarket at Broadway and Maple but they don’t have them anymore.
I know that they are still sold in Deroche, in the Fraser Valley, at the General Store and under the Chester’s name.
There should be some other places closer to Vancouver that sell it but I can’t seem to find where they are. Good stuff. I believe it is worthy of a wikipedia mention. Larry.
