But so are the fried chicken sandwiches, which come in all sorts of iterations from the classic to the spicy to the chicken-bacon-ranch to the not-so-traditional chicken melt served on shokupan bread. The exceptionally crunchy, perfectly seasoned jojos at the eponymous Jojo cart are, of course, legendary, as are the plethora of dipping sauce options (shout-out to the house ranch and the jojo sauce). 605 SE Belmont St and 1605 NE Killingsworth St Jojo “ A heap of chicken is dredged in rice flour and coated with fried shallots, white pepper, and whole toasted coriander that fuse to the crispy, browned skin,” PoMo critic Karen Brooks wrote in her 2016 Best Restaurants write-up of the Southern Thai restaurant. The indisputable order for first-timers at Hat Yai: the #1 combo of a Thai-style fried chicken leg quarter, roti, sticky rice, and curry sauce. With Basilisk on hiatus, Gumba easily takes Portland’s fried chicken sandwich crown. Regardless of the toppings you choose, you’re in for juicy chicken thighs in audibly crunchy, not-too-greasy breading, served atop a beautifully toasted bun. Keep your eyes peeled for out-of-the-box, carefully composed specials like the excellent green papaya and bacon jam sandwich, topped with melted fontina, fried shallots, and zucchini pickles sliced the long way. Offerings include a classic fried chicken sandwich with pickles and mayo and a hot fried chicken sandwich with zucchini pickles. Pasta parlor Gumba serves its fried chicken sandwich only once a week, on Wednesdays for dinner-but it’s well worth planning your whole week around it. 11741 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy, Beaverton, and 4118 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland Gumba This spring, the chain also added a location on Sandy Boulevard in the Hollywood district. Our pick: the half-and-half plate of spicy and soy-garlic wings-both like eating candied, crispy chicken-a plate of cheesy ddukbokki (spicier than most other versions we’ve tried, and with fish cakes galore), and a Hite to wash it down. This Beaverton outpost of a franchise founded in South Korea softly opened last fall with a streamlined, straightforward menu of Korean fried chicken, popular drinking snacks like cheesy ddukbokki, and Korean beer. Complete the Korean drinking and snacking experience with a giant bottle of Hite beer and sides of ddukbokki and cheese corn. This Northwest hotspot for Korean fried chicken wings is home to hard-to-find flavors like snow cheese (a lightly sweetened batter with a dusting of powdered Parmesan-like cheese) and the excellent honey butter (drenched with sweet, buttery goodness), alongside more common flavors like soy-garlic and sweet-spicy sauce, all sided with refreshing cubed pickled radish. 4606 NE Glisan St, Portland, and 4570 SW Watson Ave, Beaverton Get plenty of creamy, tangy Alabama white barbecue sauce for dipping. They go great with jojos and coleslaw, or alongside wonderfully melty, stringy fried mac-and-cheese bites. While not the juiciest chicken of the lot, Big’s chicken wings stand out for their unique smoky, aromatic flavor, thanks to the smoked-then-fried cooking process and a marinade in Fresno chile. “You’ll find a superlative fried chicken sandwich, double-stacked with heavily battered, crackly-crisp hunks of dark meat, and topped with bread and butter pickles, slaw, and a buttered bun,” wrote Portland Monthly’s Benjamin Tepler. 225 SW Ash St, 50, and 1613 SE Bybee Blvd Basiliskīasilisk has long held the crown as the city's hotspot for top-tier fried chicken sandwiches. It’s absolutely worth the upcharge for the spicy peach barbecue sauce (think peach jam with a chile kick) and the Southern-style comeback sauce, both ideal for slathering your chicken. Order as few as two pieces or the whole bird, simply served with pickles and placed on top of white bread stained with the chicken’s brick-red, oily spices. It’s smoky and tingly, an intriguing kind of spice that makes you want to take another bite even while your tongue burns and your forehead beads with sweat. Though it doesn't get the hype affixed to restaurateur Micah Camden's other food projects, this 2019-launched downtown joint with a recently opened second location in Sellwood is worth knowing for the spicy fried chicken alone.
