Taiwanese fried chicken: spicy popcorn chicken, leg cutlets
"There’s nowhere in Flushing that does Taiwanese fried chicken better than Legend Chicken. You can opt for the chicken in multiple styles, like “Legend Pops,” (otherwise known as popcorn chicken), wings, leg cutlets, gizzards, or the namesake “Legend Chicken” that consists of an extra-large and thinly pounded fried chicken steak folded over and served in a paper cone. Any of the chicken can be cooked mild, medium, or hot, but be warned that the heat comes on slowly and then builds. You can get add-ons like the more traditional Thai basil topping or garlic topping, or opt for something a bit different, like lemon black pepper, nori flakes, or sweet plum powder." - diana kuan
"Legend Chicken is known for its giant-sized Taiwanese fried leg cutlet (glove upon request), basil popcorn chicken, and other night market staples, such as fried blood cakes (a kind of Chinese version of the boudin noir) and semi-sweet Taiwanese sausage. The sleeper hit is the venetian fried tofu, based on a layered tofu known as “hundred leaves,” which combines a QQ (Taiwanese compliment for a bouncy chew) interior with a crisp shell." - John Tsung
