People often ask me what my favo restaurant in NYC was. Okay that's a big lie. I tend to just corner people and force them to listen to me describe my experience at Mad For Chicken with vehement gusto. It was THE BEST chicken wings I have ever had. We all ranted and raved about it days after it had already been emptied from our system. I constantly crave it and have even asked big poppa's cousin to open up a chain here in Houston. Soy garlic. YUUUUUUMMMMM. I die! Even though we were mostly full for the evening, as well as tired, I wasn't about to miss out on some bonchon. Since it was pretty late on a weekday, we had no trouble securing a table. There were two things I already planned on ordering: The wings and the beer in the beer contraption. The wings come out to be about a dollar a wing. Pricey! So we ordered a 24 piece for six people, half soy garlic and half hot and spicy. Big poppa took the first bite and he quickly exclaimed out to the rest of us, it's so light and crispy! We all rolled our eyes and were like, what is the fool talking about. Then we all took our own bite and immediately echoed his thoughts. It was heaven. The pieces of chicken began disappearing so fast that we had to place a second order of these muy delicioso chicken wings. The beer contraption was this igloo like container that had dry ice in it so that it created this smokyy and bubbly effect. It entertained us for a good five minutes. Hey! It was changing colors and everything! I think the cherry on top had to be when we asked for a to go box for one chicken wing we had leftover, and they brought out this tiny box big enough for exactly ONE chicken wing. How awesome is that! Dood, the wings are darn good, and they're expensive. It's blasphemy to leave a wing behind. The next day, the unlucky few who chose not to come out with us the night before popped the lone chicken wing into the microwave and as the first bite was taken, you could hear this loud crunch. Are these wings amazing or WHAT?!?
