Best Fried Chicken

Insanity! That’s the word that comes to mind to describe this 21-spice fried chicken. The insanity comes from the truly zany over-ambition that goes into it—yes, really, 21 spices can be found in the crispy coating. Spices such as smoky ancho peppers, but also broad herbal notes from innovative elements such as powdered sage and perilla leaves. It all comes together to make something sweet and spicy and dusky and haunting.
