What better way to unwind after a long, cold week of work and stress than with a crispy, succulent piece of fried chicken? Every Friday, join the fried chicken fanatics at Aretsky's Patroon for Fried Chicken Fridays hosted by Chef Charles Gabriel. Soul-food chef Gabriel brings his fried chicken recipe from his restaurant Charles Pan Fried Chicken in Harlem.

Hosted on the 2nd floor of Aretsky's Patroon in the Gibson Room, the Fried Chicken Friday menu is only $25, which buys you 3 pieces of Gabriel's pan fried chicken, 2 sides, cornbread, and a dessert of banana pudding. Choice of sides include black eyed peas, collard greens, potato salad, candied yams, macaroni & cheese, and a trio of okra, tomatoes and corn. Piano player Benjamin Healy brings spirit to the night with honky-tonk music.

One piece of the crispy, tender pan fried chicken and a little time spent with friends and some lively honky-tonk music is bound to melt away any stress carried over from a busy week of work.
