Harold's Chicken #14 Hyde Park

Chicken restaurant · Hyde Park

"Chicago’s iconic chicken chain has been at it for decades and is one of the city’s most quintessential experiences. There are multiple Harold’s locations around town, the majority of which are found on the South Side, and celebrities frequently extol their virtues. Though the recipe — and consistency of the food — varies by location, it doesn’t deter locals from ordering half chicken or wing dinners with mild sauce — a sweet and tangy condiment that’s just as important as the bird." - Eater Staff
