The crispy sautéed tender baby chicken at Basta Pasta is an appetizer that’s copious enough to serve as an entrée. Two pieces of super tender chicken — breast and leg — are flattened and pan-fried leaving the skin thin and crispy. Each lean bite is comprised of a little crunch followed by a juicy burst. With a side of salad to balance the dish, as an appetizer or main, it’s scrumptious and hits the spot.
