BlackHen

"Ever since we tried this Southern BYOB in Old City, we’ve felt an uncontrollable urge to eat fried chicken. BlackHen's version is well-spiced and heavily breaded, available in wing or half-chicken form, as well as via sandwich. But BlackHen, from the Amina team, is more than just a fried chicken spot for a casual night out with friends or a meet-up of judgy aunties to see if BlackHen's mac and cheese passes the smell test (it does). The restaurant's soul food sides, slow-cooked smoked chicken, and chicken cheesesteak beignets are as comforting as that rom-com you’re still weirdly attached to. Bring a bottle you like, order any chicken dish on the menu, and sing along to R&B hits between dunking golden wings into citrusy sauce. A tip from the staff: order your dessert at the table instead of to-go. You'll get more banana pudding and warm peach cobbler that way. " - candis mclean

"The team behind Amina is getting into the BYOB business—just a few doors down from their Southern restaurant in Old City. They’ll be serving fried chicken wings and sandwiches, comfort sides like mac and cheese and okra, and it all will be available for dining in or takeout. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
