In a torta
La Rosita, 6005 Monona Drive
Immense tortas are only $5; in the milanesa de pollo, the chicken is pounded thin, lightly breaded and fried.
Pan-fried, the way it’s supposed to be
Toby’s Supper Club, 3717 S. Dutch Mill Rd.
Toby’s and the phrase “Best chicken in Dane County” are often mentioned in the same breath. The supper club pan-fries the bird. Dinner comes with salad and choice of potato — opt for the housemade hash browns.
With sausage gravy
Bassett Street Brunch Club, 444 W. Johnson St.
The “Chicken & a Biscuit” is so much more — a juicy piece of boneless deep-fried white meat chicken, sweet sausage gravy and a fried egg, perched on a plump buttermilk biscuit, with a side of apple bacon salad. “Breakfast all day” in this case means “breakfast will last you all day.”
