"All of the rotisserie chicken places on this list are amazing, but Caravan Chicken’s pollo la brasa is the MVP. There’s always a line at this Astoria spot, and we’ve never regretted waiting in it, no matter how much our boss side-eyes us when we get back from lunch. This to-the-point Peruvian and Chinese counter spot is the sort of place people get takeout from at least once a week, but we recommend sitting in the casual yellow dining room—if only for unlimited access to the squeeze bottles of their life-changing green sauce. Choose from several combos starting at $11, and prioritize the crackly-skinned chicken. " - neha talreja, willa moore, carlo mantuano
