Oh, I don't like my roast chicken either too raw or too well done. aloha

I agree with Parigi and I will go a step more; once you've had good food you can't go back to junk food. I will follow my nose to the markets and try the roast chicken. I heard there is also a bateau that hosts a good dinner cruise and they have a roast chcken. Aloha

I have been reading all of this with awe at the knowledge that all of you Chowhounds have about roast chicken. I was brought up in NYC, and my mother bought Kosher chicken which was always delicious,Now I cook organic chicken and when I went to the organic store "Whole foods' I was told that the most organic chickens live freely and are excercised. Does that mean they are put on a treadmill? lol But was warned against the most organic of chickens because they almost die of old age and are tough. I find the organic chicken skinny and tastless so I am assuming The French have a way with chicken that is different. I did read that some hotels do not allow food in the room. But a picnic is always a possibility. I will check out Allard for a restaraunt meal. I don't know where I am staying yet. If anyone know of a chicken man or woman still in business who sells the special brand that tastes good , please write. Aloha from the land of not so good chickens.

My only concern is that my daughter and I can't do justice to the whole chicken and I hate to waste food. Do they sell half a chicken? I would think not.

Thank you so much Boredough and Phil Parigi and Laidback, I read somewhere that the favorite dish of chefs all over the world was a good roast chicken. I make a good one myself in a clay pot but my daughter said the best she had was aboard a boat tour on the Seine. I will try to find this chicken if it takes my whole trip. Mahalo and bring back the roast chicken in Paree thread Maya

I've only been to Paris once and didn't notice street vendors. Could you please expand on a shop that would sell this suberb chicken meal. Do they sell the potatoes too, or would I have to go to a different shop. My mouth is watering already,. Thanks and aloha

I love that idea but in the case that my hotel would not allow this is there a restaurant that has a similar meal. Thanks and aloha

I am going to Paris this fall and am looking for a simple but amazing restaurant to eat thiis staple but favorite dish of mine. Can someone give me advice. Aloha from Hawaii
