"At Chi Maek, the signature fried chicken is deceptively simple: a choice between four different cuts, or a combo of wings and drums all dressed in a soy garlic or spicy sauce and accompanied by either slivers of pickled radish or a lightly creamy cabbage coleslaw. Though straightforward, each element is masterfully done: juicy, marinated chicken; a shatteringly crisp shell that absorbs sauce without losing crunch; and spice with a heat that builds. For something fresh to balance out the richness, order a side of the bright and cooling cucumbers." - Julie Yu
