Three Roosters

Three ways of cooking a single ingredient give this Hell's Kitchen spot its name: chicken grilled, fried, or poached, plated over rice with pickled vegetables and a sauce built around each method. The zab-seasoned fried chicken comes dusted in lemon pepper with a citrus kick, and the lemongrass-marinated grilled version is usually the first order. With five or six tables and food that lands in five to ten minutes, it runs more like a fast-casual lunch counter than a sit-down restaurant, though the same menu carries into the evening service.
