Harold's Chicken Shack #36 (Wicker Park)
5.7 • Chicken restaurant
Small take-out spot with limited dine-in space and standing room only inside. Food waits can be long, but fried chicken is crispy and juicy with a famous mild sauce that stands out. Atmosphere feels basic and busy, best suited for ordering ahead and eating elsewhere.
