Where to get Perth's best cooked chook
Noranda
When PLAY restaurant reviewer Simon Collins names the chicken at this unassuming suburban restaurant his dish of the year, you know it has to be good. Owners Pauly and Nabil Bahbah make their juicy, flavourful chicken according to a family recipe, and the results are out of this world.

The owners of this popular local joint couldn't decide if they wanted to be a fish and chip shop or a chicken joint so they decided to do both — what a bunch of all-rounders! Their delicious Portugese-style whole chooks are worth the visit, and although the decor may be basic, the flavours are anything but.
Como
If you have a hankering for juicy Lebanese chicken that is a flavour sensation, then get yourself to Como, posthaste! Cooked over charcoal and basted in either lemon and herb or spicy flavours — take your pick — there is a reason loyal fans are willing to navigate the tricky parking situation at this popular joint.

A whole chicken cooked rotisserie-style over flaming coals for just $13? Yes please. It may be shockingly cheap, but there is no cutting corners in flavour at this Portugese-style chicken joint. Each chook, slathered in a moreish marinade, is cooked over coals, giving it that delicious smoky flavour. Mais! Por favor!

OK, I know what you're thinking: 'Really?'. But if you need a bachelor's handbag in a hurry, then Red Rooster is a very solid option. Get one of their juicy chooks for dinner and you will be a happy camper. And lets face it — their chips are still the best.
