Keith Lee's Chicago Chicken Taste Test
I like fried chicken where you dip it. I don't like it soaked in sauce. It makes it too soggy. I like that crunch and you lose it once it has been sitting for more than a few minutes. Never been to any of these spots in Chicago.
When I go to Chicago, I'm always on the south side. I've had Harold's & Shark's, but Uncle Remus is on the west side so I haven't had it.
Harold's is good, but their chicken can taste really different depending on the location.
Shark's is good too, but Harold's chicken was better seasoned, IMO.

Chicago has so many chicken places. How is it possible to know which tastes the best? I get excited in trying chicken from my favorite big city.

I am usually on the South or West side although I will sometimes go downtown. I only go to the north side of town to catch Chicago Cubs games. I heard that all Harold's locations do not taste the same.

I totally understand this. I don't want mine too saucy as well.

I had some like 10 years ago where they put so much sauce on the dang chicken, it fell off the bone when i picked it up and was all slimy. It ruined me. So I only get the stuff that is seasoned with sauce on the side if I want it. If it is seasoned right, most of the time it don't need it.
