Il Pollo Dorato - Golden Chicken:

This is one of the best sellers at Al Vedel. This recipe for fried chicken has been in the Bergonzi family for the past five (now going on six) generations. It is a very simple recipe - dredge in flour, shake off the excess, dip in beaten eggs (seasoned with salt), and shallow fry to golden brown. You get a light crisp that does not overshadow the wonderful flavor of the chicken.

The secret to its goodness is really fresh chicken, which is then not overcooked. We get the chickens whole and break them down ourselves into portions that are really easy to eat, like boneless pieces, but still have the bones and thus all the flavor (unlike boneless pieces).

Just how fresh are the chickens? They might even have a few feather quills attached to the skin, they haven't leaked any of the juices out of the flesh, and they have no smell whatsoever.
