Sometimes we can’t stop thinking about certain kinds of food until we’ve eaten them - like onion rings, deep dish, or a greasy cheeseburger. And now we can add Landbirds’ fantastic chicken wings to that list.
Landbirds is a small BYOB spot in Logan Square with a short menu focused on Korean lollipop-style wings. They’re twice-fried, tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce, and come with a small mound of jasmine rice that helps balance out the heat. This place doesn’t have a ton of atmosphere - just a few small tables and metal chairs - but we’re okay with that. They could sell their wings out of a walk-up window and we’d come in the middle of February to eat them. It’s a perfect spot for a quick meal before going out in the neighborhood, or to pick up a party tray for the Bears game. Thankfully the food here is much more consistent than our quarterback situation.
