Crispy, juicy fried chicken wings and jojos, a local favorite.
"Alberta Market might look like an ordinary corner store from the outside, but it’s actually a fried chicken hotspot for those in the know. At the cash register, a hot case features juicy, crispy wings, thighs, and drumsticks available by the scoopful, particularly satisfying with a side of heavily spiced jojos eaten out of a paper bag." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
"Served at the convenience store long known as Jack’s, these no-frills fried chicken wings are lightly-breaded, super juicy, and served with jojos. Locals have been ordering these well-seasoned wings at this Alberta convenience store for years, with good reason: It’s a delicious bargain, served fresh and hot in a bag to go." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Ask any local about Jack’s wings and you’ll get the lowdown on a Portland tradition. Tucked inside this unostentatious convenience store are some gently spiced fried chicken wings, paired with the market’s deep-fried jojos. Chicken and jojos can be found across the city, but Alberta Market’s take may be Portland’s most popular." - Ron Scott
"Sometimes referred to as Jack’s Chicken, it’s no secret that this corner market is legendary for its fried wings. And if one thing is certain, where there are wings, there are often jojos. The action is at the heated food case up front, which is a glorious blur of golden corn dogs, egg rolls, and usually a few trays of chicken by the piece and potato wedges to be eaten with plenty of ranch and hot sauce." - Rebecca Roland
"In North Portland, Alberta Market offers the most familiar, no‑frills presentation of jojos to locals: white paper baggies of jojos sit on a hot tray inside the mini‑mart alongside crispy, potato‑starch‑battered Korean‑style chicken wings, making them an easy to‑go lunch or picnic order. A heaping portion at a bargain price, these jojos feature minimal breading with a dense, almost mashed‑potato consistency within each bite." - Katrina Yentch
