BBQ Chicken on the go
Rated this place:
Being a regular Swiss Chalet patron, I wasn't happy when I got my WOW Rotisserie Chicken Inc. chicken breast combo, mainly because it came without a fresh roll. However, after cleaning my plate dry of chicken and any other edible substance that came with it, I can say that WOW's chicken is a cut above the Chalet.
The staff was laid back and friendly, and served their fare promptly in clean white dishes that gave the meal an appetizing look, unlike at Swiss where you have to eat your way through a mountain of fries before you can get to the bird. I started out with a jerk chicken roll as an appetizer, which for 5.50$ was very tasty and could even be a main course by itself. The jerk chicken was spicy, but not so much to make you reach for your drink but enough to let you know it’s there. Although it’s a rotisserie joint, the jerk chicken was delectable enough to make me wish they had a main course for it.
For this meal, my main course consisted of a regular rotisserie chicken combo served with fries and purple papaya coleslaw, which was perfect for cleansing the palate after the meal. The chicken itself was extra tender and came covered in a spice rub sauce that gave it a tangy aftertaste. The homemade dipping sauce was great if a little heavy, but I couldn’t stop myself from going to town on it with both the chicken and the fries, which were excellent as well and held much more flavour than the Swiss Chalet fare. WOW’s also wisely offers all day breakfast and sandwich menus as well as a selection of salads as alternatives to the rotisserie chicken.
The prices for WOW are reasonable and should be kept down by the stiff competition the restaurant faces from neighbours like Craft Burger. The only problem I really had with the place was that there were no wetnaps, which should be a bylaw in all chicken rotisserie restaurants. Aside from that one snag, I fully recommend WOW for anyone on King seeking a BBQ chicken fix.
