"A big pile of chicken is a common takeout staple, be it a bucket of fried wings or a classic rotisserie. At Northwest Raleigh’s Mama Bird, the bird in question bathes in a pineapple brine before hitting a wood-fire grill, served with an array of sauces like chimichurri or pineapple-habanero hot sauce. The juicy, charred chicken is available as a quarter, whole, or half bird, with add-on sides like grilled sweet potatoes with Vadouvan curry yogurt or creamy polenta from Camas Country Mill. It’s available for takeout or in-house delivery." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
