Chicken karaage at Sosharu
At Jason Atherton’s latest opening, Sosharu, fried chicken gets a sophisticated, Japanese make over from Head Chef, Alex Craciun. Marinated in classic Japanese ingredients including soy, sake and ginger, the chicken is then fried in a light batter to produce chicken karaage, served with salt and a refreshing squeeze of lemon juice.

The Dirty Bones restaurants in both Kensington and Carnaby’s Kingly Court, are renowned for serving the best American comfort food, and the fried chicken is no exception! Guests can start with Hot Wings tossed in chef’s own Louisiana-style hot sauce, followed by a half or full pile of Crispy Fried Chicken in spiced buttermilk coating; Spicy Chicken Burger with baby gem, chipotle aioli and Dirty Bones sweet chilli sauce; or Chicken & Waffles: half pile of crispy fried chicken with freshly baked waffles and a shot of maple syrup. The fried chicken delights are also carried on to the Dirty Bones weekend brunch menus, with the Chicken & Waffles given a breakfast twist with the addition of a fried egg.
