Best Chicken on The Slope

The best rotisserie chicken on The Slope is at Los Pollitos II at 148 Fifth Avenue. La Taqueria's chile infused chickens are a close second, but there is just no beating Los Pollitos for reliability and economy ($7.95 for a whole chicken). These guys must roast thousands of chickens a week. The rotisserie itself is situated just inside the door to your left. Make sure to ask for an extra crispy bird for maximum flavor and to ensure you don't get one with slightly undercooked thighs, which can happen when birds are flying out the door like hotcakes (usually from 6:00 - 8:00 PM). One chicken feeds two hungry people with a bit left to spare. They come packed with uninspiring salads, but very inspiring red and green sauce (ask for extra green).

Having guests over? Order some birds, make your own salad/sides and pop open some red wine. They'll think you're a genius.

Hey, you've got Peruvian chicken up there, too. I thought it was just a DC thing. Arlington has like about 500 of these places.

Come to think of it, El Pollo Rico is just across the street, and it's lunch time...
