Alette di Pollo Fritto con Salsa Soia e Miele
These chicken wings are the best I've ever tasted, no exaggeration. The marinade is sweet and sour, with a contrast that's a bomb. The breading is crunchy and stays crunchy, and the meat inside is incredibly juicy. The sauce with soy, honey, and ginger gives an aromatic touch. I'm not exaggerating: they're the best wings of my life.
Panino con Sovracosce di Pollo, Cacio e Pepe, Insalata Coleslaw, Cetriolini Sottaceto, Pecorino Romano, Peperino e Bacon Croccante
This sandwich is the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. The chicken is incredibly juicy, not dry at all. The breading is super crunchy, and the cacio e pepe adds a perfect salty touch. The coleslaw with vinegar gives a slight acidity that balances everything. The bun is soft and not too heavy. It's a perfect combination of crunchy and not dry. 10 euros for this sandwich is a fair price for the quality.
Pollo Porchettato con Sale, Finocchietto e Aglio
This porchetta-style chicken is amazing. The seasoning with fennel, salt, and garlic is perfect. The meat is juicy and the breading is crunchy. The sauce they serve with it, which tastes like a yogurt sauce with rosemary, is aromatic and pairs beautifully. It's on a completely different level from KFC or any fast food chicken.

Legs Incredibile
This is the Legs Incredibile sandwich. It's very simple: breaded and deboned chicken, marinated, with a yogurt-like sauce typical of Eastern cuisines, plus cabbage and pickles. The chicken is one of the best marinated fried chickens I've ever tasted — it's yellowy, not white, because it's heavily marinated. The cabbage gives crunch and freshness, the pickles add acidity, and the sauce is sweet and yogurty, making every bite fantastic. It's expensive at 9 euros, but it's a top-level fried chicken sandwich in Rome. I love the whole brand they built — they sell merch, craft beer, and have a cool international collaboration story.
