| - I'm Filipino, so I grew up eating a LOT of good chicken: fried chicken, chicken stew, chicken rice, you name it. So, unfortunately, I expect a lot from a chicken place. It's hard to compete with Mom's chicken. Flock & Fowl just knocks it out of the park in that regard.
Whenever I'm here, I feel like I'm getting a home-cooked meal by Mom, if Mom also just won MasterChef America. It's comfort food, but it's creative and thoughtful, too. It's awesome seeing my favorite foods from childhood get some elevated treatment like this.
Hainan Chicken Rice: Light, simple, but soooo good. The chicken is moist and tender, but the secret here is the rice. Perfectly seasoned and super satisfying. I like the traditional style + egg on the side. Perfect for me, but maybe a little too light for some folks? If it sounds too light, I'd go with the roasted style chicken rice or...
Chicken Wings (Salt & Pepper) and/or the Fried Chicken Skins: Salty, crunchy, and full of flavor. Hard to go wrong on these... soooo good.
Any salad on the menu: You wouldn't expect a chicken place to have good salad, but they make seriously good salad. Perfectly balanced with just the right dressing and combination of ingredients. You can taste the quality of the ingredients here (and in all the dishes, really).
Maybe I'm just a little chicken crazy, but I love this place. Definitely worth the drive.
