I love chicken so I decided to get me some Chirping Chicken for lunch.
They have some great options for chicken plates with sides, sandwiches, wraps, and a few other items.
I got the Grilled Chicken wrap in a wheat pita for $7.28. The wrap and chicken was a bit of a disappointment. Just did not seem fresh and not much taste.
I don't think I will be back, but if I do come back, I will try just the chicken.
This restaurant is at the back end of the food court in grand central station and once you find it you will be so happy that you did. My husband and I both got the chicken breast which was cooked deliciously and was full of flavor. I got the tomato and feta cheese salad as my side and so glad I did. It was so fresh and delicious, I'm definitely going to have to make this a staple in my meals that I cook at home. I also got to try the rice since my husband chose that as his side. The portions are pretty big and super filling, we actually had enough to take home and have for another meal. The prices were also very reasonable so that made me happy.
The cashier was friendly and we got our food pretty quickly and it seemed to be peak time so I'm not sure why they have so many bad reviews on that, I'm just happy we didn't have to wait more than two minutes. Overall if I were to come across another chirping chicken I would definitely stop in and get some more delicious chicken.
Not since I attended the Amy Grant-Motley Crue concert have I been so divided…
Part of me liked the chicken part of Chirping Chicken… the chunks of chicken were big and flavorful on the chicken souvlaki plate I got. The other part of me was thinking "Wow, $12 is an awful lot for this." And mine took a long time….eight people who ordered after me got their orders before mine came up. Life seems unfair at times.
It's a solid choice for lunch at GCT, but you'll pay for it, that's for sure.
I guess, in the end, I'm more "Baby, Baby" than "Girls, Girls, Girls"
First time eating here and had their Greek salad with chicken. Did like their feta cheese so much as it had a weird texture to me. They provided a lot of chicken so it was a filling salad.
I was disappointed. The mac & cheese was a watery, tasteless mess (well, it tasted like wet boiled pasta – no cheesy flavor or thickness to it at all), and the BBQ sauce they gave was some off-color, off-tasty offshoot of their own homebrew BBQ…not a fan.
And slow. And they only accepted cash. Large mac & cheese is $5, but I'd save your money.
I don't frequent the lower level of Grand Central often for lunch – mainly because it ends up being a zoo, and it's not always easy to get food that quickly – but on a cold day after Christmas, I decided to come because I was too lazy to walk outside (those underground tunnels are helpful for getting around), and in the holidays, it wasn't too bad. I ended up going with a quarter rotisserie chicken with a side for lunch. The chicken itself is done pretty well – they do have a whole bunch of them turning around in the ovens right in front of you after all – but it's very moist and juicy, and the skin adds a good dose of flavoring to the meat as well. Unfortunately, the mac and cheese that I chose for the side was dreadful. It has that bright yellow-orange color that suggests it's going to be really cheesy, but it's quite watered down and not even as flavorful as your standard Kraft mac and cheese prepared with the powdered cheese.
Perhaps if the sides were better, I'd consider coming here more frequently, as the chicken (I had the breast and wing) was really good. But if I'm going to be paying at least $9, you want the side to be something worth spending that kind of money on. I'm kind of befuddled as to how you can make mac and cheese so bland…
Stopped by in Grand Central Station to get a quick snack. Got their chicken nuggets which comes with pita bread. Decent size, decent price. Surprised at how juicy it was, but it was also very oily. If it was less oily, I would've liked it more.
the rotisserie chicken here is very good. so is the grilled chicken, which was surprisingly moist and clean vs burnt and dry. The order for the chicken was quick but the grilled chicken wrap took about 8 mins which is shockingly long for something rather simple to make? also, I had to tell them the order again. so if not for the wait times, this is generally a relatively decent option near grand central.
