Name of Indian chicken dish?

Post #1 - February 14th, 2011, 7:01 pmA few years ago in a Reader review a chicken dish was described. A whole chicken was marinated overnight, then deep fried, then onions were piled atop the breast and it was baked. I have looked for it, asked about it on Devon, even kept my nose on the prowl, all without luck. Thank You

Subject: Brain Tacos and BiodynamicsG Wiv wrote:Jessejesse wrote:esoteric ethnic or regional delicacies in the area. Anything akin to tacos de sesos (brain tacos)
Jesse,
Brain, and tongue for that matter, tacos are fairly common at Taquerias all over Chicago. I'll list a few places I like. Brain is common at Indian and Indo-Pak places as well.
Don Pedro
- Brain taquitos
- Tongue (lengua) tacos
- Carnitas, including snout to tail bits and pieces
La Pasadita
- Brain (sesos) tacos
- Tongue (lengua) tacos
Sabri Nehari
- Brain Masala
- Charga Chicken (Spicy marinated whole chicken coated in chickpea flour and deep fried)- Paya (cow food in the style of Nehari)
Shan
- Brain Masala
Tacos de ojo (eyeball) and sesos (brain) tacos are available at the Sunday only Maxwell Street Market
Started with the head and will move down as time allows, though I am sure others will add to your quest for esoteric. Though one mans esoteric is another mans breakfast.
One additional item, I highly suggest a serious read through of the LTHForum Great Neighborhood Restaurant Awards
Enjoy,
Gary

Cathy, you are correct. nickzen is asking about Charga Chicken at Sabri Nihari. Here is a link to the Reader review, which I wrote.Cathy2 wrote:If I am wrong, someone else will know.

Chicago Reader
"But good as the foregoing may be, what draws me back time after time is charga chicken, marinated, coated in chickpea flour seasoned with garam masala, deep-fried till crisp, then doused in a vinegary hot sauce, topped with cilantro, slivered ginger, and onions, and served in a tent of aluminum foil with a knife sticking out of it. Crunchy, juicy, hot, spicy--it's like a gigantic Punjabi buffalo wing."

Post #4 - February 17th, 2011, 10:18 amI believe you're describing Chicken Charga. For that I recommend Lahore Food & Grill on Devon. I also highly recommend getting takeout unless you don't mind eating fantastic food in a fantastically unkempt hole-in-the-wall storefront restaurant; approximatly 99% of their efforts goes into the food and about 1% into ambiance, and it shows on both counts. Finally, bear in mind they keep goofy hours, something like 6pm to 5am -- I'm guessing cabbies are a substantial part of their market -- so don't expect to order an early dinner.
