First time trying Michigan diner today, I was advised by a colleague They have amazing Broasted chicken. Given that I’ve never had this type of chicken, I was curious to try it out, and to my surprise their chicken is Halal (Green Light)
I had ordered a two piece dark meat broasted chicken plate, opted for the mac & cheese as the server had advised me it was good. The plate came with a soft and airy bread, as well as coleslaw.
When I first bit into the chicken, it was succulent and juicy, that was my first thought. It had a light yet crunchy outer shell, which I found to be perfect. Every bite was super juicy and I think that’s where the broasting effect really shined. Only comment I have on the chicken is that It can use a little more seasoning, maybe a little bit of Cajun in the marinade as the chicken was bassic
The mac & cheese, genuinely surprise me. You can tell it’s simply boiled pasta with a generic store-bought cheese sauce. However, it works. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the cheese pull was a nice touch.
I was a little bit disappointed with the coleslaw, the fact that it was not your standard mayonnaise mix. It was a little bit sweet and tangy, however, for some reason, it kind of grew on me as my food indulging session went on. So it was not a complete fail.
I believe the bread used was a ciabatta bun , it was fluffy and airy. They could have easily used a cheaper bread. So I appreciate the one that was included in the dish.
All in all, I was happy with my first visit and I will certainly come back again. Other than the fact that I believe the chicken can use more seasoning, and the coleslaw recipe can potentially be reevaluated, i was a Happy Customer.
Overall 4.6/5
