ChocoChicken (Los Angeles, CA)
I’ve been curious about ChocoChicken since it opened.
Chocolate fried chicken? Yes, it sounds weird, but since it’s hard to just
imagine what that would taste like I had to try it myself. They’ve taken over a
pretty big space in downtown that used to be Corkbar.
The chocolate chicken was actually more … “normal” than I
had expected. Yes, I could taste a bit of the rich, bitter chocolate flavor, but for the
most part it was fried chicken. Fleischman wasn't going for a sweetness by adding chocolate, but more complexity with bittersweet chocolate.
