"At this popular Upper West Side counter spot, the chicken is famously made in a cast iron skillet (rather than a deep fryer), where it pops and sizzles before you get a nice tender piece with a well-seasoned crust. No one’s phased by a little sweat in a fry-house, nor will anyone smell you over the near-aphrodisiac that is the scent of crispy chicken skin. Leave the small shop with a bag of wings, cornbread, and pork ribs you won't mind heading out in the hot sun to retrieve. " - neha talreja
