I recently went to Indigo in Lynnwood, WA and found some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. It’s covered in an interesting cream and chorizo sauce, or gravy. I wasn’t entirely concerned with the semantics once I started eating. The chicken was juicy and flavorful all by itself, but that chorizo sauce just turned what could have just been an everyday buffalo chicken into a ridiculously tasty, crunchy yet succulent piece of chicken-y awesomeness. If the chicken wasn’t enough, it comes with fairly tasty mashed potatoes and veggies. I know what you’re thinking, “So what? Every restaurant gives you stuff like veggies that never get eaten.” But trust me when I say that, although I like broccoli and cauliflower anyway, they have found a way to make these normally mundane sides interesting to your pallet. They don’t just steam them and throw them on the plate, they cook them in a balsamic vinaigrette that turns them into the perfect little sweet side to that mildly spicy chicken.
After having finished the awesomeness that is Indigo’s fried chicken goodness, I decided desert would only be right. I ordered their bread pudding. Bread pudding is one of my favorite deserts, but this was a half brick of pecan crusted, whip covered, caramel smothered, cinnamon-y bliss!
So, I guess what I’m saying, is that Indigo knows their food and aren’t afraid to make it addictively delicious.
