Holdaak Fried Chicken - Gardena

Holy Holdaak, this chicken is crispy!

The Holdaak Original Sandwich with daikon slaw is pretty great, and I'm pretty sure every variation of the same double-bread, double-fry is delicious. They have afternoon BOGO deals so you don't have to stop at a single sandwich. Even after a Doordash ride, you can feel the crunch all the way through your brain. 

Elote Corn Slaw is a fun little side, but no need, the stuff on the sandwich is good. 

All that crispy chicken, promo for a BOGO, but I'm still feeling the Philly Cheesesteak. Gooey goodness, melty cheese coalesced among the juicy chips of chopped steak, best with an order of those extra-EXTRA crispy super-seasoned Shake Fries. 

All the chicken is crispy, and even the fries are fabulous. And I NEVER comment on the fries. Casual, affordable, definitely worth a bite. 

Vons Chicken - Torrance

I've eaten Vons Chicken weekly since the moment I inhaled my first Honey Butter wing. 

Their chicken is so crunchy it echoes in your brain, and a sprinkling of honey-butter-crack-dust really lights up the crust. 

There's Yang-Nyum if you're looking to spice things up. These have a sticky glaze that gives a little kick and are best in boneless form if you want to keep your fingers clean. 

Keep it really clean with the Original, a lovely soy garlic glaze. Just enjoy the crunch with minimal adornment and really revel in those flavors. 

Sugar, sugar, sugar. Sweet n' sour, sweet n' salty, sweet n' spicy, but sweet prevails. Not your place if you like your chicken savory, but I'm just wild about their wings.
