Where to Get The Best Rotisserie Chicken in Atlanta
There’s nothing better than a Rotisserie Chicken – the crispy skin, the fall of the bone tenderness, the juicy marinated flavors – we’ll take that bird down to the bone! But there’s more than one way to make a mouthwatering, slow roasted chicken. We’ve looked at great Atlanta restaurants serving up delicious chickens daily and have listed out ten favorites below. Let us know what we missed on social @atlantaeatstv
1. Roasters Rotisserie
2770 Lenox Rd NE,
Atlanta, GA 30324
(404) 237-1122
One of Atlanta’s longest serving Rotisserie Chicken restaurants, Roasters Rotisserie takes the meat and three (well, two in their case) approach to entrees. With solid veggies and sides like beans, Cole slaw, and collards, there’s something on the menu for every member of your family – assuming they like chicken, of course.
2. Pijiu Belly
678 10th St NW,
Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 343-6828
This Asian Fusion restaurant in Midtown West has an incredible menu with favorites from multiple Asian cuisines, along with being a great, modest weeknight hangout spot for trivia, bar games or to share a pint. The two rotisserie chicken dishes they have are the spicier Yangnyeom Chicken – whole rotisserie chicken chopped and then work tossed in spicy gochujang sauce – and the more savory Gochu Garlic Chicken – whole rotisserie chicken chopped and then work tossed in garlic pepper soy sauce.
3. El Pollo Dorado
Multiple Locations, Check website for details
This Marietta restaurant calls itself Mexican Fast Food, but the rotisserie chickens in El Pollo Dorado are anything but fast. Translated literally, el pollo dorado means “The Golden Chicken” and after all the time they spend slowly roasting on a spit, you’ll get that beautiful golden brown chicken skin with every order. Having a big event? Get the Party Pack with 20 whole chickens, tortillas, salsa, a pan of beans, a pan of rice and a pan of potato salad – serves 50-60 for under $400! Second location in Acworth.
4. Las Brasas
614 Church St,
Decatur, GA 30030
(404) 377-9121
This Peruvian restaurant in Decatur is popular for the authentic dishes of their homeland – whether it’s the Saltado (Peruvian stir fry), Ceviche, or Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice). So, of course they make the perfect Pollo a La Brasa – or Peruvian rotisserie chicken. It’s beautifully brined for hours in advance, and cooked over hardwood with Peruvian herbs.
5. Rotisserie Shop
2615 George Busbee Pkwy NW,
Kennesaw, GA 30144
(678) 909-6315
This Kennesaw based restaurant is run by a chef-driven husband and wife team, who put extra Southern care into each and every bite. They describe themselves as a humble eatery, but don’t let their modesty fool you – they’ve got an incredible menu with delicious Southern dishes like Chicken + Waffles and Shrimp and Grits, along with sandwiches, bowls and salads featuring their rotisserie cooked chicken and pork.
6. KARV
5126 Peachtree Blvd Suite 200B,
Chamblee, GA 30341
(770) 710-0119
This relatively new Mediterranean spot in Chamblee focuses on bowls, pitas, and family style meals featuring whole roasted chickens, pork souvla, braised lamb, brisket and more. With a focus on fresh flavors, building a bowl or pita with their rotisserie chicken makes for a fairly light lunch – and if you’re looking for dinner with the family, the whole chicken meal comes with 2 large sides, pita bread and a sauce.
7. Publix
Multiple Locations, Check website for details
We’d be kidding ourselves not to include one of Atlanta’s biggest grocers on here, but they make some of the City’s best rotisserie chicken, hands down – even if you can’t sit down in the middle of a store and dig in. With flavors like Mojo, Lemon Pepper, Tuscan Herb and more, you can always wander down the aisles to find the perfect side to your chicken flavor.
8. Fire Hen
47 Irby Ave NW,
Atlanta, GA 30305
(470) 347-3436
Lunch in Buckhead is blazing these days with Fire Hen off Irby street! They make a mouthwatering mediterranean style marinade for their rotisserie chicken that’s soaked in overnight before spinning for a few hours in their coal burning oven. They’re currently redesigning their menu to include more Mediterranean forward sides, so keep an eye on their site for more updates.
9. La Brasa Rustica
4175 Pleasant Hill Rd,
Duluth, GA 30096
(470) 292-3394
This Peruvian Restaurant in Duluth is an area favorite thanks to their authentic, coastal dishes including Ceviche, Chaufa (fried rice) and more. Their Pollo a la Brasa comes seasoned in a blend of spices and house marinade, and is then slow roasted using the heat of all natural, spiced Brazilian hardwood charcoal.
10. Little Rey
1878 Piedmont Ave NE,
Atlanta, GA 30324
(770) 796-0207
Ford Fry has gone the rotisserie chicken route with his very Tex Mex spin, of course, at Little Rey in Buckhead. With tons of tacos, salsa and sides, there’s plenty of the Mexican flavors Fry has become famous for, but the real feature is the whole chicken or the Pollo al Carbon. Each bird serves 3-4 and comes with salsa and chips, along with pints of rice and beans.
