Crisp and juicy indeed!  I ate there last night - my friend had been telling me about it, and I wanted to try it.  I ordered one of the platters, which came with a half chicken (dark meat), fries, a small salad and a roll.  Our food was ready pretty quickly.  My friend asked for napkins and the lady in the kitchen gave her an attitude - don't know what that was about.  Anyway, we went and sat down outside to eat.  After one bite, I just shook my head "yes" and said that the chicken was indeed, the truth!  It's so good that you don't even need the little thimble-full of sauce that they give you, although it's really good with that too.  I just wish the people working there had better attitudes (that's why they lost one star).  Stank attitudes and all though, I'll be back.

I have been eating at C&J since the mid 90's at the seizure world location.They have ,hands down the best latin-style chicken in Md.Was annoyed by the East-West highway branch..slower then dirt and the counter people were snippy.Hit the Westfield or Seizure world (Leisure World) locations.get some dipping sauce too or your only getting half of the deal.

With a name like "Crisp and Juicy" how can you go wrong? As my co-worker put it, it was a much better choice than "Dry and Rubbery"

The chicken breast sammich here is genius. It's spicy-but-not-too-spicy and comes with a tasty garlicky dipping sauce and enough lettuce to make yourself a little side salad to boot. And, as mentioned by previous Yelpers, it is rotisserie chicken not fried as the name might indicate.

The dining space is fairly small, so carry out if you can. And expect to make many visits, like a crack addict.

Maybe I went on a bad night, but I didn't think the chicken was seasoned enough and sides were okay. They were pretty busy when I went there since it was when the whole neighborhood's electricity was down (but mysteriously the commercial areas were fine...)  It was indeed juicy though, and I think the crisp part refers to the fries that the chicken is usually served with.  Think how much better if the chicken's skin is what it referred to!  I'll try again and update, but first time wasn't that great so really have no desire to return anytime soon.  I think I'd rather just get a rotisserie chicken from the Giant across the way from the place.

Mmmm, Peruvian chicken. Crisp & Juicy is how I'd describe the chicken served at this local chain. The moist chicken is served with yummy, mysterious dipping sauces that make the meal. The rice and beans was simple yet satisfying. The french fries were decent enough. The prices at C&J are fair and I will definitely return when I have a craving for chicken that I don't have to cook myself.

So, I'm always on the look out for delicious rotisserie chicken.  It's something that I'm sorta obsessed with :)  This place is right next door to the Caribou coffee.  When you walk by the restaurant you can smell a delicious garlicky aroma tickling your nose and urging you to come in.  Who am I to deny my nose such pleasures?  So I go in an order a quarter white meat meal with yucca and salad.   There are a few tables to sit at and on most days it has a consistent flow of people.  The chicken is moist, but where is that garlicky goodness I was anticipating?!  So strange that the smell belies the flavor.  Not that it's bad, but I was hoping for more based on the smell.  The fried yucca is of course delicious and cut in appropriate sizes.  The house salad is also decent.  When I'm in the area I do go back, but it's not as spectacular as I thought it would be.

This is a great carry-out option when you're coming home from work and 1) you're famished but too lazy to cook and 2) you're craving juicy, tasty rotisserie chicken. They don't call it crisp & juicy for nothing! It also helps that it's very CHEAP and the service is FAST.

For lunch, this is a great place to get a tasty chicken sandwich.  I especially enjoy the creaser chicken, with extra sauce.  Their fries are ok, but I like how they have other interesting options like fried yucca or mashed yams.  They also have platters with half chickens and salads with chicken on them.  Sometimes the line is way too long, but it moves fast.  The worst part is that this place is tiny!  There are only like four small tables inside, so you tend to be better off getting the food to go.  There are a couple of outside tables, but if it is a nice day, good luck.  Also, I really only like this particular location of Crisp and Juicy.  I accidentally ate at the one at the Wheaton Mall and the chicken tasted dry and chewy, not good.
