Our Rotisserie Preparation

1. Premium Selection

We start with fresh, never frozen, Canadian-raised chickens. Each bird is carefully inspected to ensure it meets our quality standards.

2. 24-Hour Marination

Our chickens are marinated for a full 24 hours in our signature blend of herbs and spices, allowing the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat.

3. Rotisserie Cooking

Using our custom-designed rotisserie ovens, each chicken is slow-roasted over an open flame. The rotating motion allows the chicken to self-baste as it cooks, keeping the meat juicy while developing a perfectly crispy skin.

4. Precision Timing

Our chickens are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they're safe while remaining tender and flavorful. Each batch is monitored by our trained chefs for consistent quality.

5. Fresh Preparation

Your meal is prepared to order, with the chicken quartered and paired with freshly prepared sides and our famous Chalet dipping sauce.

This careful process has been refined over nearly 70 years, creating the distinctive flavor that has made Swiss Chalet a Canadian tradition.

The Quarter Chicken Dinner is my go-to comfort meal. The chicken is always juicy and that Chalet sauce is addictive! I always get an extra side of sauce for dipping my fries. Delivery was prompt and everything was still hot when it arrived.

I've been ordering the Quarter Chicken Dinner for years and it never disappoints. The dark meat option is so flavorful and tender. The skin is perfectly crispy and seasoned just right. I switched to the mashed potatoes instead of fries and it's a game-changer!

I ordered this for the first time after a friend recommended it, and now I'm hooked! The chicken is so much better than other fast-food options - you can really taste the quality. I love that you can choose white or dark meat too. The coleslaw is fresh and not too heavy on the dressing.
