Red Light Chicken’s green beans would easily meet with my father’s approval, as they are well-larded with bits of bacon and enhanced with a mild garlic flavor.

Red Light Chicken has a much smaller menu, meant to help stream line things for the staff. They are open daily starting at 4p Monday through Thursday and 11am Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And get them their chicken they did. “Red Light is just this little chicken shack with like three things on its menu,” Manilow said. “I think we’ve been there like eight times.

Red Light Chicken officially opened Friday at its new location, 1401 E. 11th St., on historic Route 66. Hours for the restaurant are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday-Saturday.
