Fri Jun 13 06:09:56 -0700 2008 3775921 59708 raider 2 3777058 Poultry Time on Quaker Ridge Road in New Rochelle-- the classic! Fri Jun 13 06:53:15 -0700 2008 3776934 13701 Dim Sum Diva 3 3777624 Poultry Time; Didn't it close? Fri Jun 13 09:28:34 -0700 2008 3777058 44123 nbermas 4 3778639 poultry time definitely is open. Fri Jun 13 13:59:04 -0700 2008 3777624 59708 raider 1 3778388 I really like the fried chicken at Sherwood's in Larchmont, I haven't been to Bayou or Poulty Time, so I can't compare, but I did go to college in the south where the best dinner was fried chicken. At Sherwoods, the crust is crispy but there is lots of greasy (in the best sense) flavor at the same time. Portion is large, usually take 1/2 home for lunch. Fri Jun 13 12:47:14 -0700 2008 3775921 87737 pobo 1 3780824 Had very good fried chicken at High Street Roadhouse in Rye. Sat Jun 14 14:46:05 -0700 2008 3775921 48135 laylag 2 3782173 I stil haven't been able to get over there since the opening. Someone told me the Fried Chicken is very good! Sun Jun 15 11:05:31 -0700 2008 3780824 165800 jhopp217 1 3782177 I'm going to get crushed on the board for this. But when I have a fried chicken craving it's usually because I want that well seasoned crunchy skin. I hate to say it, but....the Colonel never disappoints! Sun Jun 15 11:06:45 -0700 2008 3775921 165800 jhopp217 2 3783744 I agree, jhopp. I just didn't have the courage to admit it on this board. Mon Jun 16 06:19:27 -0700 2008 3782177 87737 pobo 2 3812351 I'm cool with the colonel, but while I never tried the chicken at Sherwood's, I was witha friend there once who ordered it and he said it tasted a lot like KFC (but didn't think it was a bad thing), so if AR wants KFC-like fried chicken in a sit-down situation, perhaps Sherwoods is a good compromise? Wed Jun 25 10:27:39 -0700 2008 3782177 116495 Avalondaughter 1 3783093 +1 For The Bayou, there fried chicken is amazing, Comes with slaw and slab of cornbread as well. Sun Jun 15 18:59:03 -0700 2008 3775921 71074 TheMiZzLe 1 3784658 OK- I love KFC! But have you noticed they now use plastic containers for the meals instead of the box and it makes the crust soggy??!! I tried Poultry Time. The chicken had great flavor but it was almost cold - I wonder if you can call ahead and order fresh? Mon Jun 16 11:27:17 -0700 2008 3775921 97137 annrudy 2 3785416 Last time I was at KFC it was the old reliable bucket. I picked it up and didn't get back home for 40 minutes. Still nice and warm and crunchy. I did have to warm up the gravy for the mashed potatoes though. Mon Jun 16 14:33:55 -0700 2008 3784658 165800 jhopp217 3 3812891 KFC? KFC? You didn't say KFC- please tell me. Wed Jun 25 12:33:28 -0700 2008 3785416 201530 foodie2424 1 3789294 I'll probably get flamed too, but Stew Leonard's is pretty good (in the hot food section of course...). Tue Jun 17 18:25:29 -0700 2008 3775921 49880 juweee 2 3789350 If fast food is where we are going on this thread, then why not Popeye's? Their spicy is pretty formidable, Tue Jun 17 18:51:50 -0700 2008 3789294 18284 NickM 3 3791729 I agree with you Nick... Now if they would only have another location in Westchester besides the Ardsley rest stop on the Thruway. Although, I've been known to make a special trip there, when the craving hits! And I love their biscuits too! Wed Jun 18 13:09:13 -0700 2008 3789350 12501 ltlevy 4 3793035 Yes, I agree their biscuits are also great: you had to figure they were serious when Popeyes was agonizing over whether they would eliminate the trans fat in their biscuits. BTW, as a 'hound who sat at the counter for the red beans and rice at Buster Holmes's old place in New Orleans, I think Popeyes' beans and rice can also be pretty satisfying. Wed Jun 18 20:25:52 -0700 2008 3791729 18284 NickM 5 3806638 Love the red beans and rice, also the dirty rice - they call it "Cajun rice" now, right? It used to be spicier too...but still soooo gooood...I too have made special trips to the highway rest stop (hangs head) Mon Jun 23 16:02:17 -0700 2008 3793035 173639 Laurie914 1 3792300 When I need a quick fix I get the chicken wings at our local take-out Chinese (Manchu Garden in Port Chester). They are delicious! Wed Jun 18 15:49:00 -0700 2008 3775921 15910 debmom 2 3793480 I got chicken wings one night at East Bamboo in Eastchester and was totally surpised how good they were. The hot dipping sauce was also excellent. Thu Jun 19 04:39:23 -0700 2008 3792300 165800 jhopp217 1 3812574 I'm surprised no one's mentioned Yvonne's in Pelham. Went there last week - atmosphere is really relaxing, staff is very helpful, and the fried chicken is great (my dad got it but I tasted his... FYI the pigs feat are also great). Wed Jun 25 11:16:23 -0700 2008 3775921 171550 phishphood 2 3820886 We have been meaning to try it - I had a fried chicken craving the other night. Next time.... Fri Jun 27 19:25:11 -0700 2008 3812574 87737 pobo 1 3812935 Stay away from Garden Catering in Mamaroneck at all costs. Their "famed" nuggets and legs and breasts are greasy, salty, and grey. If you're going that sinfull taste route, KFC and Popeye's are in higher league. Here's a great recipe from NY Times former food writer Jane Brody for home made baked "un fried" "skinless" chicken that's healthy and scrumptous. And a snap -- about the time to call the Colonel and pick up... and just as tasty. Ingredients 6 de-skinned chicken drumsticks 1/2 cup skim or low-fat milk for soaking the chicken 1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs or cereal crumbs 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes, crumbled 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste Vegetable oil spray for the chicken, if desired* Directions 1. Place the skinless chicken drumsticks in a shallow bowl or pan, and cover them with the milk. Let the chicken soak for 15 minutes or longer making sure it is evenly coated with the milk. Refrigerate, if necessary, to keep the ingredients cold. 2. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs or cereal crumbs, cheese, parsley flakes and pepper. 3. One by one, dip the soaked chicken pieces in the breading moisture, coating the chicken on all sides. Set the coated chicken pieces on a greased baking sheet, preferably one with a nonstick surface. Lightly spray the chicken pieces with vegetable oil spray, if desired. 4. Bake the chicken in oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes or until fully cooked. SMACK YOUR LIPS, LADY Wed Jun 25 12:41:33 -0700 2008 3775921 167806 louuuuu 2 3813488 Never had Garden Catering in Mamk or New Rochelle, but had it in Greenwich when it was known as Chicken Joe's. It was delicious. Greasy, yes, but absolutely delicious meat. Wed Jun 25 14:57:59 -0700 2008 3812935 165800 jhopp217 3 3836293 Garden Catering is certainly a polarizting topic around here. I've been slammed for liking it - opposite of LL. I think their nuggest are wonderful adn meaty, although their whole pieces are not the best. They're better than KFC, but I can make better fried chicken. Thu Jul 03 09:41:43 -0700 2008 3813488 116495 Avalondaughter 4 3836691 GC REDUX From a slammer. . Tried the new one in DT Stamford. THE GOOD: Far better than Mamaroneck. Clean as a whistle. Counter woman right out of central casting. Everyone was hon, and darlin', sweetie, spoken in a voice that has probably seen it all. Gave me lots of samples. Nuggest ARE better than pieces... but that's the batter speaking. Corn Fritters are really tasty. Unlike previous incarnations in this location, they know how to serve a quay. And you can't beat the prices. THE BAD. Lotsa deepfrying in hot grease. THE UGLY:cholesterol on tap. Cardiac City. Thu Jul 03 11:37:27 -0700 2008 3836293 167806 louuuuu 2 3820290 I got slammed by someone recently when I bashed Garden Catering in Mamaroneck. Can't recall which thread but thank you louuuuuu for posting about it here. I agree. I find the place a greasy, yicky mess. Fri Jun 27 14:50:13 -0700 2008 3812935 48135 laylag 1 3818017 Grandma's Pies in Yorktown makes excellent fried chicken, they broast it. If only the fries that come with it were better. Thu Jun 26 21:48:53 -0700 2008 3775921 27699 EIF1lady 2 3822821 How is broasted fried???? Sat Jun 28 18:04:47 -0700 2008 3818017 45966 foodrink 3 3825184 When I inserted "Broasted Chicken" in the Search above, one of the explanations that appeared described it as a method of preparing chicken combining pressure cooking and deep frying concepts. If interested you might go to http://www.broaster.com/about.htm. Sun Jun 29 20:19:25 -0700 2008 3822821 27699 EIF1lady 4 3835819 That method makes great fried chicken I just never heard it referred to as broasted. Thu Jul 03 07:11:27 -0700 2008 3825184 45966 foodrink 1 5145566 Went there today for a fried chicken fix and they are out of business. Does anyone know what happened?

And the smashed golden skins and cornbread go perfectly with it. http://www.memphismaes.com/ Mon Nov 09 20:23:21 -0800 2009 3775921 132768 dma1250 2 5177047 Nobody out there has heard any rumors of Korean chicken chains (Kyochon etc...) eyeing Westchester or Fairfield, have they? Best chicken for my money, hands-down. Thu Nov 12 15:52:26 -0800 2009 5169064 1120357 Po Cho 3 5178199 I would love it if a Korean style chicken place opened in the area. We go to Kyochon in Bayside, Queens when we visit family there. It is beyond crunchy and the side salad of pickled radish is a wonderful accompaniment.
