\n 4 Corners, Oxford <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Chix & Stix<\/h2>\n

There are numerous fine-dining establishments in Oxford, but sometimes only chicken on a stick will do \u2013 especially after hours when traditional restaurants are closed. The 4 Corners Chevron claims to have the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Famous Chicken on a Stick.\u201d While there are certainly others who might challenge that notion, the 4 Corners definitely has its fare share of fans. They’ve even been featured on The Travel Channel<\/em> and twice in Bon App\u00e9tit<\/em> magazine, and that’s more than good enough for us.<\/p>\n
