Rotisserie chicken has become a staple in Montreal's food scene, with various family-run spots and restaurant chains serving this tasty dish all over the city. Whether it's from Scores, St-Hubert, Ma Poule Mouillée, or Chalet Bar-B-Q, the appeal of a perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken is undeniable.
