The Glass Onion is located in Charleston, South Carolina and is named after a Beatles song. But that is not the only thing this place is known for. The restaurant serves up some of the best chicken in the country. The Crispy Chicken Leg at Glass Onion has a lot of flavor and is actually not deep-fried. Food enthusiast Guy Fieri found this place and was highly impressed. The chicken is baked in a pan of hot oil and is cooked thoroughly then seared on both sides. The restaurant doesn’t use any flour batter so the chicken’s skin is what makes it crispy. The Crispy Chicken Leg comes with greens, mashed potatoes and sweet pepper relish.
