Philadelphia's Best New Dishes Of 2022
"Hot Chicken Sandwich From the years between Sixers championships to our penchant for hazard lights over actual parking, Philadelphians are used to waiting. But unlike those other holdups, the 30-minute wait at Asad’s Hot Chicken in the Northeast will result in a food-inspired trance. The chicken sandwich comes on a brioche bun that serves as an excellent pillow for the thick cut of juicy meat, crisp-fried and covered in a pepper glaze and pickles. It’s a combination of crunchiness, creaminess, and spice that flawlessly melds together so well that even the most impatient person in your group will truly look forward to standing around.
