"Grocery store rotisserie chickens are one of life's emotional rocks. They’re always there, from last-minute dinner needs to prepping a week’s worth of chicken salad when even boiling water may be too much to handle. But grabbing a full meal at Kismet’s more casual, chicken-centric sibling is also super convenient. (Their birds taste like they’ve happily witnessed many sunsets.) This Los Feliz spot sells quarter, half, and whole birds with crispy skin, plus vegetable-forward sides that put any fancy salad bar to shame. Non-negotiable adds include the charred, yogurt-roasted cabbage, sweet and tangy carrot slaw, and Kismet's signature schmaltzy potatoes. " - sylvio martins, brant cox
