root and bone Best Fried Chicken in NYC

December 16, 2014

Time Out New York named its best 100 dishes in 2014 on December 10. root & bone's deep-fried chicken was named number one, "king of the coop: the ambitious flapper Top Chef alums Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth crisp up their Alphabet City spot. The Pennsylvania Amish country chicken is brined in sweet tea spiked with paprika and cayenne for 24 hours, giving it a distinct sweetness amplified by the dusting of dehydrated lemon powder the bird gets when it's pulled golden and crunchy from the pressure cooker. A drizzle of Tabasco honey happily keeps that salty-sweet tug-of-war going."
