Belle's Hot Chicken @ Tuesday, February 07, 2017

Saturday 21st January

Can you believe I've never had fried chicken other than from KFC before? The Korean fried chicken trend is strong but like burgers we've never perused it. I do love Belleville's rotisserie chicken though, but we've never been to Belle's Hot Chicken till now, conveniently near tonight's event.

The Menu

At 8pm the peak of dinner on a Saturday night Belles was alive and booked out as a bar. We sat at the bar around the corner, behind a soda machine. There're booths but at peak hour a table for one will be at the counter. Metal, reflective with water stains.

No where is quiet. R&B plays from above and the bar was buzzing with sounds from tables of more than one.

How it work is you pick a...
1. Meat/protein? - Tender, drumstick, wings, fish, mushrooms
2. Heat - Ranging from Southern to Really F**kin Hot
3. Pick a Side - salad, slaw, or fries
4. Optional Sauce $2 (6 to choose from)

Price depends on your protein, with mushrooms at $14 being the cheapest. Though I'm not sure why you ordered mushrooms and a salad at a chicken place...

We ordered the chicken tenders (4 pieces) with a mild sauce, southern heat, with a side of fries and ranch dressing ($20). While we ordered pretty much what was a sour cream sauce what we actually needed was tomato sauce or sweet chili mayo, to go with the crinkle cut fries. They were crispy though of the supermarket freezer variety. Grill'd does the best chips, yet to be topped.

The tenders were good with no chewy bits and wasn't oily, served with a slice of white sandwich bread?? and pickles. It was good though nothing amazing. Everyone else ordered the hot chicken but I'm not a fan of the spices. It's not them, its me. As it is about spicy hot chicken, if that's not your thing then maybe check out Belleville instead.

We actually wanted the chicken and waffles, but it was a weekend lunch only offer. We'll be back to challenge ourselves with the medium heat! I'm that person who finds toothpaste too much to handle sometimes!

Service was minimal, and not as friendly as we'd like. It was more like too busy to smile.

Have you been to Belle's? Where do you go for fried chicken?
