\nAs part of the prep for my Elmhurst food tour, I decided to do a compare-and-contrast exercise between Taiwanese style popcorn chicken vendors at HK Food Court at 82-02 45th Ave. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the Salt & Pepper Chicken at Hang<\/a> (stall 15). This post examines the differences between theirs and that of Hey Chick in stall 3.<\/p>\n

Given a cursory glance, it\u2019s easy to assume they\u2019d essentially be the same, but there are a few key distinctions. Hey Chick\u2019s chix seems to be a bit juicier, attributable perhaps to slightly larger chunks of chicken. Hang\u2019s hangs its hat on the fact that it\u2019s Salt & Pepper Chicken, not the more ubiquitous and gentler flavor profile. And finally, when I was there at least, Hey Chick has taken a leaf from other popcorn chicken purveyors I\u2019ve visited and was more generous with their fried basil.<\/p>\n

Note that IMHO, both were good \u2013 it\u2019s just an assessment of the fundamentals. In other words, if you\u2019re a seasoned popcorn chicken lover, it will be a basal comparison.
