Chicken is one of the high points of the menu at Mosca's, with that bird (and sometimes others) cooked several ways. I find them about equally good--very, very--but this one is the most offbeat. They cut the chicken into smaller pieces than the Colonel would, and roast it in a pan with olive oil, potatoes, mushrooms, rosemary, and a tremendous amount of garlic. I think there's a bit of white wine in there, too. You get a whole chicken, or close to it; a single order of chicken grande is more than enough for one person, anyway. It tastes as good as it smells: irresistible. [caption id="attachment_36411" align="alignnone" width="479"]Chicken grandee at Mosca's. Chicken grandee at Mosca's.[/caption]
