Whole Time Chicken, SW Washington & 3rd - Fried Chicken and Rice

Today, I thought I'd try the new fried chicken cart that has occupied the former space of "Thick," the Chicago pizza cart that has now relocated to the 'big' cart pod on 9th. It's right across from Killer Burger, in a black cart with yellow trim.

In what seems like record time, Thick moved on to bigger things, and soon after - Whole Time Chicken has appeared. They do chicken and rice, and chicken/rice/salad combos. You can have your chicken fried, with breading - or seared, and there are a variety of standard sauces available (BBQ, Honey Mustard, Ranch, Hot Sauce)

As I stood looking at the menu, I could smell the fried chicken being cooked, and it smelled delicious... which cemented the choice I was going with, I was going to have the fried stuff.

It's served on a generous bed of seasoned rice, four strips of boneless chicken. I tried it by itself first, and the seasoning is quite tasty - has a little bit of zing to it, but it isn't overly 'spicy' - The chicken itself was tender and juicy, and the crunchy crust was very enjoyable on its own.
I opted for the hot sauce, as I like spicy food - and it was GOOD hot sauce. Combined with the chicken and rice, I was very satisfied with my meal.
$6 got me the chicken and rice combo, you can also add salad, bringing the total to $7.50. Pretty decent deal if you ask me.
Looks like they're keeping the menu simple, which can be a very good thing. I'll have to go back and try the seared chicken soon, to see how it compares.
