The Best Fried Chicken in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay - Eater SF

"Self-described as punk rock-influenced fried chicken, Aburaya brings Japanese chicken karaage to life in Oakland. Chicken thighs are marinated in shio koji, then battered in potato starch with a choice of wet or dry seasonings like shichimi, housemade barbecue sauce, and umami salt. Don’t skip the grilled onigiri and the excellent seasonal vegetable side dishes. It’s all available for takeout: Call in or get delivery via any of the major third-party apps." - Luke Tsai, Ellen Fort
