Went with the chicken fingers. Probably should have gone boneless wings. They were good and very large. The side of sauce they provided was about half full. Not many restaurant choices in the airport (only 1), so it is what it is.

UPDATE 9-2022, I'm going to throw down and say it again: The Fried Chicken Sandwich is better than Popeyes chicken sandwich!! The staff here are fun. The coffee is PJ's and it's great. The Classic Chicken sandwich rivals Popeyes!! Pro-tip: be sure to grab mayo for your chicken sandwich.

The wings are incredible, so crispy and moderately meaty! But the buffalo sauce is all soybean oil and smells like chemicals.
