400 Degrees

Chicken restaurant · Bordeaux

@infatuation

"400 Degrees started as an homage to Prince’s, but it didn’t take long for the chicken here to eclipse the original. For 10 years, the chef/owner of 400 Degrees has been perfecting the recipe, producing a dangerously searing crust that you can order in varying degrees—0, 100, 200, and the eponymous 400. While most hot chicken spots pan-fry their poultry, this restaurant deep fries their chicken, which results in a fantastically crunchy and juicy final product. The play here: the leg quarter with fries, no exceptions. The tender bone-in meat is the perfect foil to the signature spice coating, a mix of cayenne, paprika, allspice, garlic, cumin, and a few other things that bring a special brand of earthy heat to the table.  " - jackie gutierrez jones 2
