BRIAN'S 100 Best '16

100 BEST ’16: ORIGINAL CHICKEN SANDWICH at DELANEY CHICKEN

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016…

SADLY, DELANEY CHICKEN IS NOW CLOSED.

At his stall in Vanderbilt UrbanSpace, Daniel Delaney has changed his fried chicken menu a number of times. First there were drumsticks then giant wings and finally spicy chicken sandwiches. The current offering is great with a sweet golden breading that is balanced by the fiery hot sauce, mayo, and pickles. Price: $8
