The actual chicken was perhaps a chicken thigh (?) which was really fatty and just not great. I couldn't bring myself to eat it all, although understandably some people might like/enjoy that kind of thing.
And maybe this belongs in the gear-grinder thread, but can a menu just explain what the dish is? Why are we seeing the ridiculous one word comment about the ingredients? Like I say...I'm just not the target audience for these kinds of things and I just wish them well.

Okay, I hear you.
Not ragging on that restaurant, either, but I know what you're talking about in general terms and I hate that crap, too. Like, just give me an all-beef burger with basic toppings, some fries that are just a sliced up potato and a mud pie dessert. I'd love to go dining at pubs in the 90s again. They had perfected good pub food. Now it's all with the silliness and out-dorking each other and it drives me nuts. Get back to basics.
