Daily Roasted Rotisserie Chickens
Rotisserie chickens are cooked twice a day; we have a batch that comes out at noon and another ready at 4PM. We happily take reservations and preorders by phone at 970.247.1988. All rotisserie chickens are brined overnight and covered with our house-made chicken rub. We truly believe these are the best tasting rotisserie chickens in the area, and they go fast each day. Great for carving, sandwiches, soups, casseroles, most anything you can dream up that needs some tasty chicken.
