"Red Light Chicken is a small take-out spot in Lincoln Park that only serves chicken sandwiches, nuggets, and fries. It has no seating, but there’s a small outdoor standing table, and their heating lamp set-up makes eating outside during the winter comfortable even though your apartment pipes might be frozen. Focus on the fried chicken sandwich which only costs $8. The meat is tender and is covered in a crispy breading, and they also have a variety of sauces. The best one is the hot honey, and regardless of how saucy things get, the fluffy potato bun is the perfect sponge." - john ringor, veda kilaru

"Red Light Chicken is a tiny Lincoln Park takeout spot with only three things on the menu (chicken sandwiches, nuggets, and fries) and no place to sit. But they do have a small outdoor standing table with heat lamps. The fried chicken sandwich is why we come here. It’s satisfyingly crispy, gets some spiciness and sweetness from their hot honey sauce, and comes with a fluffy potato bun that soaks up the juices. Grab some truffle fries too." - John Ringor
"Counter-service fried chicken spot Red Light Chicken is newly open in the storefront space that previously housed the original Devil Dawgs, owner Gary Strauss, who also operates Big & Littles, announced on Facebook.
