"There are plenty of spots for great fried chicken in the city but the region’s best chicken fingers necessitate a visit to Schaumburg. Village Tavern’s famous starter features a tempura-style batter and secret recipe honey mustard dipping sauce. They’re also available in flavors like coconut, barbecue, buffalo, and habanero. A second outpost is located in Carol Stream. Orders can be placed online." - Jeffy Mai
