The quality never changes! This dry-rub hot chicken spot in a large mall food terrace is sure to satisfy your spicy needs.
Bone-in chicken is now back on the official menu, the one on the wall! We ordered through the official platform, which was understood as GrubHub by the guys up front.
What we ordered:
Whole bird with two sides (spice level 3)- These prehistorically-sized bone-in chicken pieces are flavorful, but the breast needs some more seasoning. Spice is the dominant factor though, but level 3 is getting a bit less spicier (or our spice tolerances are building up)! Maybe they should add some hot oil to it, as this is a dry rub seasoning! Come back sauce is bomb and a great accompaniment to that already delicious chicken. One to two pieces of that chicken (with a little bit of side) is already filling enough for one person, no other food from the court needed!
50/50 (tater tots and fries)- crispy, piping hot potato bits in a paper bag! These strips and potato balls are seasoned ever so lightly to create a balance between the flavor and texture of the overall dish!
Coleslaw (branded as "Tangy Slaw")- not that delicious. Part of it was bland, the other part felt like it was slathered in vinegar. The lettuce was crunchy and crisp though, a sign of its freshness.
Comeback sauce- A sauce so epic it deserves its own little section! Sweet and tangy but yet not overpowering.
Service wise, the two young men working at the counter were nice. They forgot the sauce packets (not too big of an issue), but they forgot the 50/50 tots and fries! They also only gave one set of utensils (heck, for
a family of four?) (Hence, -1 star)
Overall, this humble chicken shop in the Hillsdale food terrace is definitely a winner!
The food court is always loud, an extrovert's dream! It was less crowded, so it was easier to find a table.
