Eater: 16 Spots For Knockout Fried Chicken In The Seattle Area

When Phinney Ridge’s fine-dining restaurant Opus Co. shuttered last year, the restaurant’s chef, Paolo Campbell, took the opportunity to start his own Filipino fried chicken restaurant, which opened in October. The gluten-free batter on the chicken — wings, drumsticks, or 10-inch long cylinders of white meat on sticks — crackles under the teeth and has the puffy texture of Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes. The meat is packed with flavor from soy sauce and garlic. Order the chicken with some toasty garlic rice and a side of tangy marinated eggplant and onions to cut the grease. The restaurant runs out of most of its dishes every day, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and preorder online in the morning for a chicken dinner.
