This local eatery deserves a chef's kiss for embracing the "KISS" principle: "keep it simple, stupid."

Frying the news: Just Chicken debuted at the East Market in 2022 with an uncomplicated menu featuring only dishes made with … well, you know.

I visited its new stall in Little Grand Market at a VIP party last week.

Dig in: Choose between a sandwich, tenders, a salad or loaded fries and prepare to be amazed by perfectly crispy chicken.

I promise my meal tasted as good as it looks.
Don't sleep on the perfectly salted golden fries.

The bottom line: Sometimes less is best. There's a reason Raising Cane's is popular.

But honestly, after eating here … Cane's who?

What we're watching: The Columbus-based concept is apparently doing well — Just Chicken recently expanded to food halls in North Carolina and Maryland.

Stop by: 11am-8pm Tuesday-Thursday, 11am-9pm Friday-Saturday and noon-8pm Sunday at East Market, 212 Kelton Ave.

11am-8pm Sunday-Wednesday, 11am-9pm Thursday and 11am-11pm Friday-Saturday at Little Grand Market, 710 Grandview Crossing Way.
