Uncle Brother’s Chicken

This Tuesday Pop-​up at The Residence bar on 14^th street serves some of the finest chicken in SF… Every week, Wes (Of «Wes Burger Wednesday pop-​up at Mojo Bicycle» on Divisidero) –and his brother serve up a different kind of fried chicken. If you «like» them on Facebook you can see the menu either on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.
I went on week 2 (Korean fried) chicken, and again last night a couple months in (Tennessee Hot Fried chicken). Last night might have been the best fried chicken of my life. A little sweet (we asked — brown sugar) and super hot boneless (Wes ONLY serves boneless), crispy chicken served on moist white bread served with cheese grits and brisket Collards for $ 12. GAHHHHHHH — so gooooood. There is usually a themed side — last night the theme was not southern, but for the Giants World series — garlic fries. I might have preferred a deviled egg, but I get it. And $ 12 that is a steal.
If you have not been to either the Wes Burger pop up on Wednesdays OR this one, you really owe it to yourself to try them both (granted not in one week, less you want to waddle around wearing your «fat pants»)
The bar often has themed drinks to go with the food. Drinks are a little pricy — but not bad. Trust me, like «Uncle Brothers Fried Chicken» on Facebook, wait for a Tuesday theme that floats your boat and just go, thank me later.

Following the sad demise of Arkitruck, Uncle Brother’s might be serving among the tastiest and certainly, the most interesting fried chicken in the city. Wes, the guy who runs it, does a different fried chicken from around the world every week. I’ve had it about half a dozen times (among others, Nashville hot chicken, Korean, Indian, German schnitzel) and they have all been very good to outstanding. It comes with a regionally appropriate side and for those squeamish about chicken on the bone, you’ll be glad to know that the fried chicken is boneless, though it doesn’t seem to suffer for it as far as juiciness.
It is a pop-​up at the Residence bar, a cozy place tucked away on 14^th off of Market, right near the Safeway, so it’s pretty accessible. For those unfamiliar with the Residence, it’s the old Amber bar, one of the last places where you could smoke in the city. I hope Wes keeps finding different fried chicken traditions forever.
