The chicken itself was thin and crispy but the gravy was terrible! Tasted like jar. Very dark and thick. My friend had the special - filet mignon tips with peppers and onions over rice. She didn’t care for it. Very salty and yellow Spanish rice in my humble opinion was not the best choice with a red sauce. Whit would have worked better....read full review
