How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Southern
An early adopter of Nashville style hot chicken in Portland, Basilisk drenches its fried chicken in a cayenne forward sauce and serves it on a thick slab of Texas toast from the nearby Franz Bakery, an unusually literal nod to its Southern reference point.
Picks from Food & Wine, Willamette Week, and Portland Monthly
- Fried Chicken
Basilisk builds a Nashville-style fried chicken sandwich with real height, thighs stacked on a brioche bun and drenched in a spicy cayenne sauce. Portland Monthly places it among the city's standout fried chicken sandwiches rather than plated meals, giving the Kerns spot a different niche than the classic dinner-plate places.
