Belgian Fried Chicken Mondays
First Monday of the Month
Enjoy Belgian Fried Chicken Mondays with Kwak!
It’s the First Monday of every month —Belgian Fried Chicken Night! You might not find fried chicken on many menus on Brussels, but you might wish that you did after tasting this! It’s not historically a staple of the Belgian culinary scene, but we thought we’d change that. The preparation changes from month to month. August’s BFC is:
Dill buttermilk boneless chicken thighs, with romesco, corn waffle, summer stuccotash (peppers, fennel, onions garlic, summer squash), maple beer drizzle, scallion, & pickled peppers. $18 Ideally paired with Maredsous Brun for a special $5.Dinnertime starts at 5 on Mondays. The dish is $18 and the Kwak pairing an additional special $5.
