Corporal Chicken

It was really fun to read the article in the times about the Korean style fried chicken I can’t wait to try it. In fact, I was toying with the idea of making a fried chicken blog, I’ve nixed that idea as 3 out of 5 Donatelli’s are on Lipitor. Fried chicken diet is probably a bad idea. But sometimes, it just can’t be avoided. I had to go to a bunch of hardware stores recently for my latest project, and I stumbled upon Corporal Chicken on Broadway and 156th.
I just did a google search to find the exact street and plate of the day Plate of the Day posted pictures very similiar to mine in Nov. 2005, but their chicken looks better. And they got a shot of the long carport sign thing. I didn’t snap one of those because there was a doorman/panhandler guy and I didn’t feel like paying him again for the photo. The interior of Corporal is typical Harlem take out service—a counter and bullet proof glass. But there are benches in the middle of Broadway that you can sit and eat your chicken box. It's a little sad and windy, but it only costs 2 bux for two pieces and a mess of fries. I was hoping for a little spice in the crust because the NY Post review on the window said the chicken was marinated in hot sauce and lime or something sort of Latino in flava. Unfortunately, I couldn’t taste any spice and I gave the fries to the doorman/homeless guy, but I do love the box. If it hadn’t been covered in grease spots, I would have kept it and put pencils in it. Can you see it? It's a chick in cowboy clothes shooting a gun and twirling a rope at the same time!
