“The chicken was very nicely done, tender, smoky, not dry at all, and perfect with that sauce, which seemed like an aji verde, with flavors of cilantro and jalapeno and the like. Incredible stuff.”

replying to u/WindjammerX: I tried the one in Bayside next to White Castle, and it was not terrible. When they first opened up they had a lot of sauces but they seem to have gotten rid of them. It's fine, but you can do better. 2 blocks down is Chicken Lovers and it's superior, albeit different.

replying to u/justflipping: You did it! Thanks for the report. Smart move getting extra for leftovers. Love Chicken Lovers. One of the top places I recommend for chicken and ribs. Their green sauce is incredible. Another side I would recommend is their cucumber salad. Very refreshing and a good contrast to everything else. Bayside actually has some pretty good spots besides Chicken Lovers.
“I could see myself coming back here for a different restaurant but still getting some Chicken Lovers to take home. It would be mandatory for all such trips lol”
