Caroline is not on crack, Zankou's chicken is a little dry but knows what to do with the garlic and the hummus
... no sooner had I placed and paid for my order when they called my number. Damn, they ARE fast! I ordered the quarter white chicken ($5.48) and it came with some pita bread, hummus and pink pickled turnips with chilies. The chicken was disappointingly dry but I just slathered the infamous garlic paste and hummus on each piece before I stuffed it in my mouth. The roasted skin was a delicacy. I wish there was more of it. They should sell a side of just the skin. Mmm!
