No clue really breh. I like fried chicken but it's not something I really go on missions for to find the best.

My birfday is at the end of the month and one of my close friends is at the beginning of december, so we usually go out with the crew at whatever weekend falls in between. This year everyone wants to do fried chicken.

I'm thinking:

First: Yes, the fried chicken is really, really good. If it's not the best fried chicken you've ever had, you're a very lucky individual. It's burnished brown, with a thick, crunchy crust and lush, flavorful flesh. Fuller probably takes four or five extra steps to make it so. What you really need to know is that you still have to reserve a bird ahead of time—they only serve 30 per night. Also, at $38 per whole chicken, the fried chicken is not cheap. Nor should it be—if humans were meant to eat a lot of fried chicken, it'd grow on trees instead of requiring a vat of terrifying and difficult-to-dispose-of boiling oil. Also, cheap chicken is not naturally and humanely raised in Mount Vernon as this is, nor does it come with kimchi (not blastingly spicy), rice, and dipping sauces, including a sinus-clearing sesame-mustard and a vaguely Tso's-esque Korean. (Our kimchi and rice did not come with serving utensils; the service was a little lackadaisical on a recent Sunday night. We dug in with forks and didn't mind.)

You must also think critically about what Ma'ono's menu says—"One Whole Chicken For Two." One whole chicken for two people. Have you ever eaten an entire half a chicken? Especially fried? We ended up with five pieces of chicken per person—not small pieces, not lightly breaded. It was the unthinkable: too much fried chicken.

What you need to do is bring approximately three friends, pre-order one chicken, and then eat bountifully of everything else. I went back with one friend—an opinionated lady, herself from Kauai—and we ate as much as we possibly could (no chicken), and both of us loved pretty much everything.
