5. Costco (241 East Linwood Boulevard) — This whole makes the list as much for its taste (Fat City's Charles Ferruzza believes it to be succulent and moist) as it price — $4.99 plus tax. For a meal (or several meals) at home, this is a solid choice.
3. Cafe Europa (323 E. 55th St.) — The Crestwood eatery has roast chicken over mixed greens with dried cranberries, walnuts, goat cheese and dijon vinaigrette. It's light and rich at the same time — one of the rare examples when everyone at the table might just wish they ordered your salad.
2. Tannin (1526 Walnut Street) — For those who are conscious of their poultry's life before the plate, Tannin is serving up free range chicken breasts. Those who go by taste will be no less impressed with the roasted chicken served with yukon potatoes, carmelized brussels sprouts and a pan juice.
1. Pot Pie (904 Westport Road) — The pan-roasted chicken here is one of the rare chicken dishes where you never feel like you settled. Opt in for a side of whipped potatoes or their steak chips (maybe just get a plate of those) and a glass of wine and you're on your way to forgetting that's it cold outside.

I second Kellers roast chicken, nothing beats its simple preparation and it's ability to bring out real chicken flavor. That being said, skip the hormone pumped godzilla roasters and go for a free-range bird. They taste better with some exercise.
MINE, spit roasted, and perfectly seasoned, free range chicken..
in my own kitchen, at home, and the "roasting hour" before spent inhaling the aroma of the spices, and that gorgeously plump juicy bird..
it just doesn't get any better than that! and I don't have to circle around the block trying to find a place to park either..
