So, you assume you’ve sampled sufficient fried hen in our space to final you a lifetime?
Kay Lee (left picture), the proprietor of the model new Kay’s Kitchen Genuine Chicago Model Fried Hen, situated (as we advised you final difficulty) at 2808 E. Bearss Ave. within the Palms Connection plaza, says you haven’t tried the realm’s finest fried hen for those who haven’t sampled her full-wing fried wings together with her signature, genuine Chicago-style delicate sauce (prime picture).
And truthfully, it’s laborious to argue together with her.

All I can let you know is that the hen is so yummy, it doesn’t want the sauce, however Kay hopes you transplanted Midwesterners will recognize its genuine taste.
