DOVER - I don’t know how long Applebee’s Sizzlin’ Skillets’ specials will run, but if you’re smart you’ll head down to the Dover Applebees near Weeks Crossing to find out.
I went down there last week and being a garlic lover got the Chicken & Shrimp Skillet, which comprises grilled chcken breast strips paired with sauteed shrimp in a gralicky lemon butter sauce, garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned green beans.
I asked my server, Stephanie, how they make them so tender, and she just said, “I have no idea. I wish I knew.”
By the way you know you have a good server when she comes up and says, “By the way, I got some fresh coffee out there in the kitchen if you want a warmup.”
The meal was out in about 15 minutes, but that’s not bad for Veterans Day. The place was almost full by noon.
I was stuffed after eating about half the plate, and took the rest home for Thursday’s lunch. Just as good!
But I wouldn't lag on this. And don’t be afraid to call them up beforehand.
Btw, between you and me I think they acutally make them in a giant skillet on low heat in some kind of marinade.
Just a guess.
The Sizzlin’ Skillets began their run on Oct. 12, so who knows how long they’ll be around.
