  11. Caravan Chicken

    restaurant

    35-01 Broadway, Astoria, NY 11106

    Peruvian chicken restaurant. Combo that I get is the $11.21 one, which has a 1/4 chicken and pork fried rice. Aji amarillo in the marinade gives it a spicy, almost fruity flavor. It's garlicky, savory from usually soy and so juicy and tender from the rotisserie.
