"Served with sides of giant jojos and house-made coleslaw, Alabama-style chicken is the headliner at this casual, Southern-rustic comfort food spot from Portland culinary legend Ben Bettinger. Available grilled or fried, the juicy house chicken starts off with a zesty Fresno pepper marinade before hitting the smoker, basted in Big’s “white gold” barbecue sauce. Dry spice-tossed wings and chicken sandwiches round out the menu, but really, it’s about the straight-up smoked birds. Fried mac and cheese bites, mashed potatoes, and a black-eyed pea salad serve as strong sides, available on their own or as a part of chicken combos." - Zoe Baillargeon
