Sabra Beirut Mix – It’s hard to say just what makes the difference – the herb blend and marinade on the birds? Some magical combination of heat and time on the rotisserie that makes the chicken juicy but not greasy, the skin just a bit crisp? However they do it, Beirut Mix makes the best rotisserie chicken in town, and they served an amazing pungent garlic sauce on the side for those who want a little extra zest. That same chicken can be served under a coating of peppery lemon-garlic sauce if you want to kick up the flavor several more notches, but most people prefer it in its simple chickeny goodness.Sabra Beirut Mix: 500 N.
