Quick Pack Food Mart - Review - Central District - Seattle - The Infatuation

"There was once a time when the sign on Quick Pack’s purple building read, “Seattle’s Best Friend Chicken.” That typo has since been corrected, but it also felt like a perfect way to describe the platonic love we have for the wings at this Central District mini-mart. Not only are they golden full-sizers, but they’re juicy with light paper mache-like skin worthy of snacking on its own. Grab a few wings for the road, drizzle them with the self-serve bottle of hot sauce, and pick up a sambusa while you’re here, too, if available. Food Rundown Whole Wings You won’t find many mini-mart wings in Seattle bigger than these. They’re hefty chunks of chicken that seriously hit the spot when you need a substantial snack between lunch and dinner—linner, if you will. And a splash of hot sauce seeps right into the crispy skin, instantly transforming them into DIY buffalo wings. photo credit: Nate Watters Jojos The jojos here are almost like potato chips, and they have a pale yellow tint instead of the usual golden or Cajun seasoning you might expect. There are better versions out there." - Kayla Sager-Riley
