The lines have died down some at Mommy Pai’s, the streetside fast-casual counter from Thai Diner, but Matt Danzer and Ann Redding are still turning out the city’s most popular new chicken fingers. Four styles (spicy, lemongrass, coconut, and “Muay Thai”), two preparations (fried or grilled), and nine sauces make for dozens of possible combinations, though we were surprised when they swapped out high-flavor thigh meat for more common tenders, owing to customer feedback. But we’ve tried the new version, too — and they’re still good!
