A Whole New Taste Experience

Our Willie Mays Chicken is a delightful take on the justifiably much-loved classic. The complex flavors start with an open-mouthed barbeque marination of the chicken, long enough to seep into the crispy golden-brown skin.

To top it off, our marination is enriched with maple syrup, giving a slight sweetness and carmelization to an otherwise savory dish.
