"The Dish: Boneless Chicken Cracklings La Dinastia on the Upper West Side has a long menu of Chino Latino classics (glistening fried pork chops, ropa vieja on a bed of fried rice), but we always get the same thing. The boneless chicken cracklings are delicately crispy, and salty enough to keep you coming back until your plate’s empty. They come with your choice of side—we like the tostones or fried rice—and a lemon wedge for squeezing. People have been eating chicken here since 1986. If you haven’t been yet, get a move on. Ask for the not-so-secret green sauce, and order a rum-based Nutcracker, even at lunch." - bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
