Tropic Island Jerk Chicken Critics' Pick

Tropic Island Jerk Chicken
41.750939 -87.610467 553 E 79th St (between Rhodes and St Lawrence Aves) South Side, Chicago
Subway: Red to 79th(773) 224-7766
Lunch, dinner
Average main course: $8
The Chatham residents who mill about inside this smoke-scented Jamaican carryout spot are all waiting on the same thing: the best jerk chicken around. Members of the Grant family work in tandem, taking orders for rich, allspice-laced oxtails and jerk-rubbed chickens out of foggy smokers before packaging them along with sides of cinnamon-candied yams and buttery braised greens. Order an extra side of the lappable jerk sauce to dip your chicken in, but be prepared to either make do with one of only two rickety tables or eat in your car.
