Have you ever had a transcendent chicken dish?

• Happy in Bag
• This place knows chicken. Who else is blowing the wings off a bird?

Chicken has always been a case of one well-trodden truth (a chef’s ability is said to be directly related to his roast chicken) and one stark reality: Nobody goes for the chicken first on the menu (absent some recent edict over red meat or a particular diet quirk that has you shun four-legged beasts).

Time’s Josh Ozersky sees the table changing because of the uptick in the other white and red meat prices and a series of chefs attempting innovate ways of bringing diners a better bird. And while he believes the chicken is conquering its last great frontier – the world of fine dining – I’m just curious about your meals around this burg. Have you ever had a transcendent chicken dish, the kind of meal that has your dining partner stealing bites long after you’ve stopped offering them?
