"The best chicken sandwich in Philly is right next to a gas station. That’s where you’ll find Asad’s Hot Chicken, which generally has a line so long you’d think they were giving away free gas. The toasty brioche bun and thick cut of juicy meat covered in peppery seasoning makes a sandwich worth zig-zagging through the hellish traffic on Cottman Ave. The roadside halal stand also doubles as a fresh juice and smoothie place, so balance out the fiery chicken with a strawberry-banana smoothie. The best time of day to head to Asad’s is between noon and 5pm on a weekday. Once the evening hits or when it’s the weekend, we suggest bringing a friend and having a car nearby so you can tag-team the line WWE style." - candis mclean
