Art of Chicken

Today Otto is doing a solo review of Art of Chicken in Logan Square.

Otto:
The Art of Chicken is pretty small, it would probably seat 15-20 people inside, and they have a little outdoor seating if the weather is nice. The outdoor seating is fenced in by chicken wire, which I really like. There are lots of similar touches inside, lots of reclaimed wood stuff, and the wallpaper has funny paintings of chickens on them. We got a whole chicken, half El Jefe and half Crazy Chico. I personally like Crazy Chico better, which is marinated with herbs. The El Jefe is supposed to a bit spicy, but it doesn't really taste that spicy to me. It seems more like fried chicken, even though it's grilled. It's got a bit more crispy crust. But both are really good. Their french fries are some of the best french fries I've ever tasted. They are battered and they have lots of seasoning on them. I can't really eat the rest of their sides, but they don't seem all that good to me. We have picked up just their chicken and brought it home for dinner, and it's really good for a quick dinner like that (you can make your own sides, since they don't have as many to choose from, but we usually get their fries, since I like those). I'd give them 3.5 Plates.

Waiting for our food.
