Chez Poulet

Bucktown · French Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2234 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Chez Poulet is Le Bouchon's answer to a chicken shop — brothers Oliver and Nicolas Poilevey, who've run the Bucktown French bistro since 2010, took over the old Taqueria Chingon corner a few blocks away and built a counter-service spinoff around one thing: a whole rotisserie chicken, French sides, and not much else to overthink.

$$
A full French rotisserie chicken (half ~$15, whole high-$20s to low-$30s) from the Le Bouchon team, with a weekend-only banh mi and wraps menu and a pot pie reportedly planned for winter.

Whole birds run high-$20s to low-$30s, halves land around $15, and the sides stay classic bistro — think French potatoes and seasonal salads over anything trendy. There's a small side patio where a glass of rose makes sense with the chicken, and on weekends the menu stretches to wraps and a banh mi; a pot pie is reportedly coming once the weather turns.

It's mostly a carry-out operation rather than a sit-down destination, which tracks with the Poileveys' stated goal of a faster, cheaper French option next to their full-service flagship. No happy hour or special was confirmed for this location specifically — Le Bouchon's well-known Monday half-price wine night is a sister-restaurant deal tied to the Damen Ave address, not something that carries over here, so it's left off rather than implied.
