Chicken gets a bad rep. Too many fitness gurus preach it as lean meat for your diet, but then they ask you to eat it with next to no flavourings, and that’s a travesty against humanity. Chicken can be wonderful if given the chance! So if you want to be good to your diet, or if you’re just craving a good piece of chicken, here are the top rotisserie and grilled chicken dishes served in Montreal.

Un Autre Restaurant

Un Autre Restaurant‘s smoked chicken with handcut fries and coleslaw may not be what the dietician ordered, but it sure makes our taste buds happy. It may or may not be injected with butter, that’s how moist it is. It simply melts in your mouth and is not what you’d expect to be the standout dish in an Italian restaurant. You can order a whole ($22) or half ($13) chicken, depending how ravenous you’re feeling.
