What to Eat at Chickadee Chick, Now Serving Chicken and Custard in Park Slope

Fried chicken is all the rage these days (guests at Andrew Carmellini’s first Fried Chicken Live dinner last night were said to include Rachael Ray, Hugh Jackman, and others), but one newcomer is boldly opting to grill. Chickadee Chick, recently opened in Park Slope, specializes in free-range chicken that’s butterflied, steeped in a lemongrass marinade overnight, and set on a char grill that’s visible to customers and passersby. The chicken is sold by the whole, half, or quarter, and you can also get “bon bon wings” in spicy chili sauce. When we stopped in, the place was still getting off the ground, so don’t be surprised if you end up waiting at one of the school desks outside (unless you want to eat at one of them, the tiny nook is strictly take-out), or if they haven’t yet figured out how to work the custard machine (never mind about choosing between single dip and double dip). Should you opt for delivery, the area is between Prospect Park West and Fourth Ave, and between St. Johns Place and 18th Street. The store is open from 11 a.m. till 10 p.m. — here’s the menu.
