Bastianich's new fried chicken format is excellent, with crunchy breading, well-cooked chicken, and great sauces. It's the best fried chicken I've had in Italy, a solid 9/10 for fast food.

These WingX are incredible. The breading is crunchy and stays crunchy even after being sauced. The chicken is cooked perfectly, not dry at all. I think this is the best fried chicken I've ever had in Italy. It's a solid 9/10 for fast food fried chicken.
Tenders
The tenders are excellent. The breading is nice and coarse, the frying is very dry. I tried them plain to taste the chicken and breading, and they're great. The chicken is real filet, not processed. Really good fingers of chicken.
Smoked BBQ
The Smoked BBQ is a bit spicy, but it's a good spicy that comes through with aroma, not just heat. The breading stays crunchy despite the sauce glaze. It's really good, balanced in flavor.
Hawaian
The Hawaian has pineapple in it, I could tell from the color. The breading stays crunchy even with the sauce. It's really good, not like some other sauced chickens I've had that got soggy. This is well balanced.
Brasilian Citrus Pepper
The Brasilian Citrus Pepper is more reddish, you can see more chili and paprika. It's a bit spicy, the skin crackles. It's really good, not dry at all, the outside creates a crunchy veil. Crunchiness is their strong point.
