When people usually ask us what our favorite thing to eat is, we both usually start dying laughing because it is not your typical favorite food group. I don’t know how it even started, but somehow, we got hooked on roasted chicken. We love it because we are hungry girls, so most of the time, you’re guaranteed to get a good portion of chicken, and we just love bones (I know, super odd, haha). Anyways, we had a few requests of where our favorite spots are, so we figured we would write a post about it.
Some tips when ordering:
- Ask how it is prepared (I usually ask for no butter, if possible).
- Order with sautéed or steamed vegetables.
- The skin is okay to eat, but it is pretty fatty, so I don’t eat all of it.
- If it has a sauce or glaze on it, ask for it on the side.
Now, for our favorite spots:
- Mudhen’s Meat and Greens
- They have an option where you can create your own bowl, so I usually order the half chicken with green beans and some other green vegetable.
- Mr. Mesero
- This spot is a Mexican restaurant, but they have a “Crispy Half Chicken” that is AMAZING, and comes with tons of vegetables!
- True Food Kitchen
- They have a pan-roasted chicken that is pretty good. I wouldn’t say the portion size is huge, but you can order roasted brussels sprouts (LOVE) as a side with it.
- Nazca Kitchen
- This is a Peruvian spot that just opened not too long ago in West Village. They have a really good chicken that I get with steamed vegetables. You can get their sauces on the side (I love the hot one!)
- Central Market
- This one is actually not from a restaurant, but you can pick up other vegetables or sides in their prepared food sections, and bring it home for an easy meal!
- Stirr
- This is actually a bar and restaurant, which has great drinks, too! They have a really good roasted chicken that comes with brussels sprouts, and their desserts are AMAZING!
- Smoky Rose
- We have both been here, and they have a lot of bbq dishes, and a roasted chicken!
- CBD Provisions
- This spot is downtown, and has a roasted chicken. We ate here once after a hot yoga class, so definitely not dressed appropriately, but it was good.
- The Hall at Trinity Groves
- We love their roasted chicken, and then they have roasted brussels sprouts that were amazing!
