Jim's Original new chicken Polish is great alternative to the classic
In the pantheon of Chicago-invented foods, the Maxwell Street Polish ranks as my second favorite of all time (after the jibarito).
Slathered in mustard and caramelized onions, this juicy pork link delivers smoke, garlic, fat, acidity and sweetness in every bite.
Yes but: A lot of folks don't eat pork, and, for years, the only alternative at Maxwell Street mecca Jim's Original has been a beef Polish that kinda tastes like a big hot dog.
So I was dying to know if Jim's new chicken Polish ($7.36) might offer an improvement and open new horizons for kosher and halal eaters.
The verdict: This juicy, well-seasoned sausage packs fantastic flavor and texture, and to be honest, I might not have known it was chicken if no one told me.
