Basilisk – Fried Chicken Sandwich

What can be more universally satisfying than a fried chicken sandwich? Nothing, that’s what.

Basilisk is a humble chicken shop located in a hip food hall known as “The Zipper” in Portland, Oregon. Their menu is without a doubt interesting with offerings like dan-dan fries and Kool-Aid soft serve, but the tried and true fried chicken sandwich is what brings people in and keeps them coming back.

Two Southern-style fried boneless chicken thighs bring loads of flavor compared to their chicken breast counterparts and are always juicy and never overcooked. This meaty mouthful is accented by fresh, crunchy, house made half-sour pickles and a creamy cabbage slaw.

When it comes to something simple like a fried chicken sandwich, it’s the small details that set apart a good sandwich from a great sandwich, and that is something that Basilisk has in spades.
