I had flown in to Park Bench Deli for an errand but flew out grinning from ear to ear because I had their Crunchy Fried Chicken Sandwich in my clutch! 😄 The moment I got back into my waiting cab, off went the wrapping and in chomped my teeth.
The combo is pretty much a classic but you can trust PBD to do everything with panache. This means they use only thigh meat, sou vide-ing it first for tenderness before frying it to a loud crunchy finish (which somehow manages to not be oily). Swaddled with the chicken in the onion bread is a killer duo of cheekily spicy housemade slaw (it contains Peruvian green chilli sauce), cucumber and good ol' Japanese kewpie mayo.
