Super Chicken

Got a 1/2 chicken, yuca, fries and rice and beans. Really good. Taste, portion size and price points. Best green sauce I've come across. I will definitely be back for that alone

First, two things:1. It's not El Pollo Rico.2. It doesn't have to be.This place is at least on par with the great many charcoal chicken joints in the DC area, and better than a lot. The best part about this style of chicken is even when it's not the best, it's still pretty good. Their birds aren't huge, but definitely not the smallest I've ever received from a restaurant (Bojangles easily wins that one; I swear they served me a pigeon!). Seasoned well, as were the rice and beans. The portions of sides are impressively generous.I live nearby and come here fairly often. I've never been disappointed.

If you want Pollo Rico, go to Pollo Rico. However, this does not mean that this place is not equally good. Personally, I like their sauces even a bit better than Pollo Rico's. The place is a bit run down, but a great place for a cheap and easy takeout dinner.

As denoted by the Yelp star system, I've become a fan of this place. I've tried many of the rest in MD, and this is (so far) the best. I went recently and have a few things to update.Food - The prices have jumped quite a bit. A 1/4 chicken meal will still run you about $6, but the 1/2 chicken meal has increased to nearly $9 and the whole chicken to $14! Still, it is the best Peruvian chicken stop in MD.Location - They still don't have menus or a signboard up at all, which I find a bit annoying but they now accept credit!For you MoCoers who insist that Crisp & Juicy is the be-all and end-all, drive down to Super Chicken and be prepared to be amazed.

I think about this place all the time! My mom loves this place! The best Peruvian chicken place around a highly recommended you won't be disappointed. So hungry for it now!!

Was craving rotisserie chicken yesterday and planned to head up to Boston Market as a last resort because I didn't want to stray far from home. On my way up on Kenilworth road I was rethinking my decision remembering how much I hate the service at the boston market on Kenilworth/East West Hwy (they always make you wait over 15/20mins for take-out which is SLOOW considering they have all the chickens and sides already made.. does it really take 20 minutes to put an order together and put it in a bag? At Boston Market.. yes!). Anywho.. I digress.. so I'm dreading going to BM but really want some chicken... as I'm standing at the light right before Super Chicken I see the words.. "pollo a la brasa" Peruvian chicken... so I go where not many dare to go and stopped blindly at this strip mall looking thing to try this peruvian chicken. (I know I live dangerously.)I found parking right in front of the place and peer in and see only one lonesome diner eating... I almost turn back but then see another customer approaching the door.. I figure what the heck. So I gather my things... start to go outside.. lock my car.. walk to the door... the previously mentioned customer is already heading towards the door to head out.. I'm like... Huh? Did they run out of chicken or something... that was quick. Still perplexed I go on to my now "theres no turning back peruvian quest".. what's the worst that could happen? Dried out chicken? Burnt even? Been there done that.. and I survived. So I walk in... I'm greeted by a nice latino gentleman welcoming me and asking how they can serve. I asked for the half chicken with side of rice and beans. He asks would you like the beans in a closed container or in the same plate.. I say seperate. I ask if they take debit cards.. he says "YES" hooray... I pay... and before I even get my receipt to sign it.. my food has been chopped, served, bagged and ready to go. I pay and head out.. I think the whole transaction took me no more than 4 minutes. So then I worry.. hmm I wonder how long my chicken had been sitting there before I got there.. still skeptical I get in my car and start the 10min drive home. The chicken starts emitting this delicious odor that makes me want to stop my car on a side road and dig in right then and there! I'm happily surprised but stand my ground and miraculously make it all the way home.I get home and open my food.. it looks good! (I took a picture for you guys). Then I proceeded to attack the thigh first... I touch the drumstick and it's super hot! Too hot to handle which I'm extremely happy to see since it was carry out. I wait for it to cool a few minutes and attack it a second time.. I pull on the drumstick and the entire bone comes out clean off the meat.. wow no that's what I call falling off the bone! I tried the chicken without any sauces to really get a taste of the flavors... i was in chicken heaven. The seasonings were delicious.. the chicken was moist and the skin crispy.. success!!The rice and beans were nicely done too and the portions were huge! I had my fill and still had some leftover for lunch today! (still delicious!!!!) Definitely a fan and will be back often! Boston Market.. it's over.. I found someone new.. someone better.. someone who will not make me wait and leave me with cold chicken when I get home. Goodbye forever!(Ps. Unless I'm craving corn bread) (Pss. You better hope Super Chicken never starts making corn bread).

best chicken bar none! yuca is always good. and beans are my wife's fav.

So let me JUST say, I was at work yesterday on yelp trying to figure out what I was going to eat. Super chicken came across my search. Now at first, I was skeptical, but became sold when I seen pictures of the food and the portions.. So, I went to the location and the cashier was nice and accommodating. I order the half chicken, I was originally going to order the half chicken with rice n beans and fries. But the cashier and his colleague talked me into getting the yucca fries. The cashier let me even try one! So I was sold. I went home, opened up my heavy portioned food. My family smelled this half chicken. LOL.I didn't want to give them anything, but I offered. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, cuts were made so I could break it apart if I had too! The rice was good as well, with the beans on top(made it heaven). Don't get me started on the YUCCA FRIES, Just know I'll be BACK! If you decide to try this place, be spontaneous and try something new like I did! P.S- Try the two sauces, green for the chicken, and one for the Yucca Fries. :)

Best Peruvian flavorsGreat locationFriendly staffDelicious saucesTender beans and riceThank you Felix

It's chicken and rice. Rice and beans are good, the plantains were okay. Not as good as Sardis but it is cheaper. They do a lot of business so that keeps the prices down. Haven't tried anything else but I'm tempted to try the fish they always advertise.
