"The Thai-style chicken at Three Roosters is the Cheeto-adjacent entry on this list: less juice, more pure, satisfying crunch. This little counter in Hell’s Kitchen serves every meal with a cup of poaching broth, rice, and some vegetables, making it perfect for a filling lunch if you work in the area. You can get the chicken naked, but if you’re looking for a little heat, order the zab fried version. Dusted with toasted rice, makrut lime, and chile powder, it’s thirsting for a dunk in their jaew sauce." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
