Baltimore, MDFried Chicken

Baltimore Magazine's 2024 readers' poll recognizes Bunny's Buckets & Bubbles for fried chicken. The Fells Point concept pairs buckets of crisp chicken with sparkling wine in a room designed for a lively meal rather than quick carryout. Its Ann Street address and core identity are shared with the existing Baltimore brunch set.

Baltimore Magazine's 2024 readers' poll names Ekiben in its fried-chicken coverage. The Baltimore-founded shop turns fried chicken into a deeply flavored steamed-bun meal with an Asian-fusion point of view. This entry uses the original Fells Point address on Eastern Avenue, representing one flagship rather than duplicating the local mini-chain's later locations.

Baltimore Magazine's BRD review centers the Federal Hill restaurant's fried chicken sandwiches and gives the South Charles Street address directly. Crisp chicken, soft rolls, pickles, and house sauces form the core of the experience. BRD has another Baltimore location, but this source-named restaurant is the single branch represented in the set.

Baltimore Magazine's review says the chicken box is the dish to seek at Mona's Super Noodle, describing it as a Laotian interpretation of a Baltimore classic. The Hampden restaurant serves deeply crisp chicken with sticky rice and sauce alongside its noodle menu. That cross-cultural approach gives the 36th Street kitchen a distinct identity.

Baltimore Magazine's 2022 food coverage names Taste This for fried chicken and waffles, placing the dish within the restaurant's broader soul-food cooking. The active 25th Street shop is the location represented here, with Southern sides supporting the chicken. This exact place object also appears in the chicken-wings and soul-food work.
