Looks yum. How were they?
My friend said they were meaty and the skin was crisp. Ate the whole $8 happy hour plate very quickly, so I’m guessing they were good. 
I have eaten a ton of Happy Hour plates (quickly), that were not good at all…just sayin’.
That said, I do have a great deal of respect for the Cannibal’s HO.
Yeh, think we’ve all done that once. Or twice. 
But there was much other food and these got blitzed first.
I am surprised I haven’t seen any picks of barbecued , or grilled chicken over coals or wood . I know it’s raining out . Just want to see some dreamy pics of that bbq or grilled chicken . Any happening ? So ready for Spring .

Brick Chicken at Local Kitchen and Wine Bar is the MF Bomb
Mentioned by @ipsedixit here Brick Chicken
Loved everything about the place;maybe the nicest staff to serve – and cook – for me, since my Grandma died.
Awesome!

[/quote]I should have remembered you’re not a lover of chicken meat 
. But speaking as a bona fide chicken junky, they look spot on delicious. You’re a real trooper btw.
The Halal Guys (Cerritos)
The chicken plate is my favorite thing here. Spiced and cooked well, it’s solid…except for the fact that the portions are way less at this new location than the Long Beach location that I usually frequent. Lots of white sauce and 2 lines of hot sauce is the way to go.
The India Restaurant (Artesia)
Chicken curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Tandoori chicken…all solid. Sauces are well developed. My only complaint is that the spicy level is tampered down here…a kick of heat would elevate all the dishes to the next level. But it’s a decent lunch buffet option for a co-worker lunch out. Service was really good, though…water and garlic naan refills just magically appeared.

One can see why your expectations would be high…
It’s still early. We may not reach these heights
. But give us time.

The remains of the chicken yakitori from Sushi King SaMo. It was simply okay (I think the sushi, miso seabass, and tempura were all better).

courtesy of recently opened yunnan regional specialist yu ming:
crossing the bridge noodles: separate bowls/plates containing broth, meat (including chicken), vegetables & noodles were brought to the table, and summarily combined before i could take a pic. sigh
a quick stir:
and a spicy chicken version of the noodle soup
both soups had chewy rice noodles. my companion liked the place more than i.

No doubt my fav chicken dish is the dark meat Beckerman at Dan Tana’s. Brick chicken at Sotto is great too. Surprisingly, the roast 1/2 chicken at La Scala is pretty good (everything else there sucks).

Bale Valley why can’t I quit you.

Yes, yes… and yes. And don’t ever be afraid to share your love of La Scala. For some of us - meaning me and mine 
- it will always be a sentimental favorite.

Damn forgot, again!
Our friends picked up some Jollibee (because of some stupid sappy FB ad that’s been floating around) to appease the Jollibee craving. The brought two buckets of fried chicken (which was better than I remembered), mashed potatoes, gravy (which I used to dip the chicken in), the hot dog spaghetti (which was surprisingly good because it wasn’t as sickeningly sweet as I remembered from my last visit about a dozen years ago), and some mango-peach hand pies (more mango than peach). I supplied rotisserie chicken, chicken rice, potato salad, salsa and tortillas from my local Juan’s Rotisserie Chicken (formerly a Juan Pollo). It was chicken-palooza. It worked well for us and all of the kids we had.
And then there were cocktails and wine that I had ready for the troops when they arrived…a pleasant evening had by all.

One Night In Little Tokyo, and yes there is Chicken involved.
I can’t quit you now!!! Brokewallet Bookshelf starring me and me (come on now). They got quite the selection of food books but I come here for samurai and philosophy books. Spotted another Jiro book, not the small little one, this new one looked really good, white cover, newly translated. Moving on…
For the record I never went to Kokekokko and this place Torigoya is not the same from what I understand. (The chef bounced to Japan).
So it’s a Chicken Yakitori place. Got the 10 piece.
There is off menu stuff. No chicken booty unfortunately for tonight. The chef could be holding back on me, maybe the next visit he will show me some chicken ass.
$3.
Chicken Boobs. Juicy.
Gizzard. Not bad, kinda chewy.
Not the biggest fan of liver, just like I am not a fan of a Muay Thai and Taekwondo double simultaneous kick to the testicles while fighting off a Grizzly Bear from The Revenant with a broken toothpick while knee deep in warthog shit, was that necessary to say all that?
Balls.
The Chicken Hearts!! Get it get it. Wonderful glaze.
Thighs.
Veggies
Wing-Skin??
Neck! Also very good. Off Menu
That chicken soup is certainly better than any Grandmas chicken soup.
Blue Whale for some jazz!!! First time ever and I had a wonderful time!
LOL some of the audience looking and acting all stiff, I am guessing those fools stand like a Etruscan Statue at The Getty when “California Love” and “Nuthing But A G Thang” come on at a party. More cheesy than Korean Corn Cheese dipped in crushed Cheetos drowned in Nacho Cheese Fries from Carnitas Michoacán on North Broadway (real G’s know this).
Met this cool dude named Gary at the counter at Suehiro. Knows his stuff!
We hold similar views on Pok Pok/Andy Ricker unsuccessful attempt in LA, dude were you smoking Thai Sticks or something and didn’t realize that LA has a big Thai community for decades and we been eating Khao Soi since Z Cavaricci’s jeans and Genera Hypercolor shirts were in style? I dun walked Hollywood x Western in LA Gear Lights, Andy!
We also lamented on Jonathan Gold and how most of his reviews were pinky up bougie ass Tiffany scented shit(my words obvi!) at The Times vs his stuff at The Weekly. Gave me a sushi rec. Great chatting with you! That is one of the best parts about late night dining! Oh Yelpers/Yelp, we both concluded it is only good for the pics!
I sacrifice my usual Hayashi Rice with Egg (get it!!) to get a mediocre Oyakodon just for the Chicken theme.
Oh the Lyft driver…God Bless His Heart and thank you for getting me home safe, even though you would stop suddenly on the freeway or street when I tell you it’s okay keep going straight in your native language

Epic. LMAO!!! 
Feels a touch overblown. Gold covered tons of more expensive places at the Weekly. He rarely covers places which are purely style and no substance, which seems to me to be what “bougie” usually connotes… recently at the Times he has reviewed Kobee, Niroj, the Tsujita expansion, Legendary Restaurant, and Delicious Food Corner. He also frequently writes listicles such as where to eat for Chinese New Year, where to get Korean noodles, his favorite spots for spicy food, and a holiday tamale crawl where he reps tons of smaller restaurants of the non-bougie type…
Or do you truly consider everywhere he writes about bougie? I guess I’d like to know what the heck qualifies as non-bougie if so.
What do you think of the Ludo Bird ? I was watching Mind Of A Chef . Apparrantely he has a spot in the LA Kings center serving up these chicken sandwiches . They looked pretty good on TV . But that goes without saying the truth . Any good ?
