Best Fried Chicken

In the back of the North Beach haunt Amante, there is a cash-only pop-up serving wontons, ramen, fried rice, pork belly buns and, curiously enough, fried chicken. At Chubby Noodle, buttermilk-brined Mary's Organic chicken wings and breasts are marinated in a spicy, buttermilk batter, then dredged in a dry blend of flour and spices that are fried to order and served with a creamy chili dipping sauce. However, these are not your typical fried chicken strips and wings: the shaggy crust is substantial yet uniform, the spicy heat second to none on our list, and the flavor weirdly enough welcomely reminiscent of hot dogs. Yes, we said hot dogs. Though strangely, we can't think of a better marriage of flavors than fried chicken and hot dogs, especially during a night of drinking at Amante.
