| - Fried chicken? Yes, please! A friend and I decided to hit up Soho Chicken + Whiskey on a Friday night. Parking was a bit difficult to find but we scored a spot right in front the restaurant. Winning! Online reservations are not a thing but they do take them by phone. Luckily, when we got there, we were able to get two spots at the bar.
Before our dinner was served, we received complimentary biscuits with rosemary butter and apple jam. The sweet and savory worked well together. The biscuits were warm and inviting. They had a bit of crunch on the outside but fluffy on the inside.
I had the Sunrise Chicken Dinner. You have a choice of a breast or thigh and I got both. The Sunrise is served with fried rice composed of rice, bacon, sausage, sweet potatoes, and peas. The dish is topped with a sunnyside egg. The chicken was brined, breaded, and deep fried just the way I like it! The meat was tender and juicy and the coating was crisp and tasty. The fried rice was well done and the sweet potatoes and peas added a bit of sweetness to contrast the bacon and sausage. I didn't need hot sauce for my chicken because the plate had sriracha on it which was the appropriate spice for the dish. Unfortunately, I overestimated my appetite and couldn't finish my food. I had it for breakfast the next day and it tasted great!
The bartender provided great service, was conversational, and was quick with doing all the things! It was a great meal and I was glad I got to try it!
