| - When friend's ask me "where can I find the BEST chicken fingers?," My usual response is: Jack Astor's...however, if you are in The Annex (right at Bloor and Spadina) or if you are a chicken finger enthusiast living far from it I HIGHLY recommend getting your butt down to The Maddy and checking out the fingers which hands down are some of the best chicken fingers I have ever had! Most people come to The Maddy for relatively cheap drinks, a spacious patio (in the summer time), and of course fantastic live music (aka. PIANO MAN). The Maddy is a great gathering spot for UofT undergrads and young adults in their early to mid 20s because it is spacious, charges no cover and because you can literally walk in wearing your PJs. Apart from being a popular night time hangout spot, most people are often shocked when I tell them that the place is a restaurant serving fabulous food during the day, and in greater disbelief when I tell them that they have some of the best chicken fingers in town!
The chicken fingers at the Maddy are beer battered (like Fish and Chips) chicken breast selects; hence they are very different from ones served anywhere else! The fingers are very crispy and very tender. As usual, they are served with fries and plum sauce. The ONLY downside to these fingers is that they are evidently drenched in oil...but they are so mouth watering that it's barely noticeable. In addition, the fries are crappy and very plain tasting (lacking flavor and crisp) compared to most pubs and similar to McCain frozen fries. However, the fabulous tasting fingers make the fries bearable.
Bonus: The chicken fingers also appear on the 'Late Night Menu,' hence, they are perfect for an orgasmic tasting drunk snack...AND you can even buy a giant platter of them to split with a few pals.
Price: TOTALLY worth it - only 10 bucks! AND if you go anytime before 6:00pm they are HALF PRICE (*with the purchase of any drink).
Portion: HUGE portions and the fingers really fill you up (I barely touch any of my fries)
