A meal at Chicken G’s might leave you with singed fingertips, but that won't stop you from coming back to this halal spot in the FiDi. Each piece of fried chicken is made to order, so it arrives almost too hot to touch, but we’re happy to risk a scorched appendage or two if it means getting to our first bite faster. And each of those bites is inevitably followed by dripping juices, so keep the napkins handy and the plastic ramekins of spicy house sauce nearby for dipping. While many of the meal combos come with sides like texas toast, spicy french fries, and mac and cheese, they’re all skippable. The fried chicken in all forms is solid, but the pieces are superior—the strips and the sandwich are often coated in too thick of a crust with drier meat. There’s almost always a free table here, but this spot has nailed their takeout operations, so even after a long Muni ride home, your chicken will still be crispy.
