"Calling yourself “World Famous” is pretty ambitious, but the bird at this national chain deserves it. Each piece from this Fulton Market spot has crackly cayenne-infused skin that shatters like glass and has just enough tongue-tickling heat. The meat is equally flavorful and effortlessly comes off of the bone. Gus’ plates come with coleslaw and baked beans, but if you’d rather just go all in on chicken, they have a 20-piece “snack” option waiting for you." - john ringor, adrian kane
