★★★★☆ 4.0 Bill Sanderson · Oct 2025

The chicken tenders were tasty and cooked well, though the breading had a slightly burnt flavor that reminded me of oil that may have been overheated or reused. The waffle, on the other hand, was delicious—light, buttery, and perfectly balanced. The staff were friendly and very accommodating, which made the experience even better. If you're hungry, this is definitely the place to go! Parking can be a little tricky, but the lively atmosphere around Kukri (Skinny Chicken) makes up for it. Just keep in mind it might not be the easiest spot to grab a quick pickup order.

Ordered the two slider combo, Korean and breaded, both hot. The heat was on point and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Good portion size for the price as well. I couldn't leave without trying the banana pudding. Wisest decision I made since it was delicious.

I had never had Tikka chicken before and I did enjoy it quite a lot but I did prefer it on the salad instead of in the sliders which we didn't care for too much. The brioche was kind of stiff and the other ingredients didn't allow you to truly taste the chicken,however the salad I had was by far the best salad I have ever had.nice crispy green leaf lettuce without big white chunks of core sliced to the perfect size. I don't usually like honey mustard stuff but thier honey mustard vinaigrette was nothing like I was expecting or have ever tasted ,I was truly impressed.it was butteryband slightly sweet,I just was blown away. I got the salad with extra hot chicken and I sliced up the chicken and put it on top with the vinaigrette and it was absolutely top tier. I will be back for another sala

Tucked away in Albuquerque, this eatery delivers a culinary experience that’s nothing short of impressive. Their chicken tender sandwich is a standout, dripping with a perfectly balanced sauce that elevates the crispy, golden fried chicken to new heights. The fries, seasoned to perfection, offer a satisfying crunch that complements the sandwich beautifully. You can taste the freshness in every bite. Despite the complexity of the menu, the real gems are their signature sandwiches, making the choice easy for any first-time visitor. The location, paired with the reasonable pricing and the bonus of an adjacent brewery, makes this spot a must-visit. I highly recommend their chicken tender sandwich—it easily ranks among the best in Albuquerque.
