Fried chicken was invented to trap maximum flavor in the meat while cooking it perfectly. Basilisk makes this into an art, balancing impossible levels of savory with just the right amount of kick.Upvote8Downvote
Chandra BenitaJuly 15, 2018Everything is good! The chicken sandwich is huge and very shareable and the Dan Dan fries are amazing. They come in a huge bowl so it looks like you could split it but you won't want to...

Haley WhiteJanuary 29, 2018Fried chicken sandwich is so good. They use two big pieces of chicken and honestly it’s too much. Which is amazing because then you can take it home to eat later 😈Upvote2Downvote
Karen HJuly 24, 2017Chicken sandwich was huge, and the Dan Dan fries are oddly addicting. Chicken cooked well, crust was crispy.Upvote1Downvote- Matthew McVickarMarch 24, 2017This is the best fried chicken sandwich on the planet. Fries aren't bad either.Upvote1Downvote

It’s good chicken but they can’t do anything; in other words, don’t ask them to customize.
