I was in Calgary for the weekend in Oct. 2014. I was disillusioned with all of the suburban sprawl and icky American style corporate restaurants. So I went to Kensington and stumbled on Wow Chicken.
This has got to be fried chicken nirvana. I had the Original wings one evening and they were so good I went back for lunch the next day! The 2nd time I had the breast strips. Also original, they were juicy, juicy inside and crunchy crispy outside. I don't know how they do it but the best fried chicken of 2014!
You can sit inside in a comfortable and tasteful dining room or do take-out. I think they also have some Korean staples on the menu but let me tell you, the chicken is what knocks it out of the park. You gotta try it if you are in Calgary. (Plus, Kensington is a cute older, leafy neighborhood that is enjoyable to walk around and window shop.)
