Rotisserie chicken shop Chook opened its second Denver location last week. It’s now serving fast-casual meals for dinner and lunch at 4340 E. 8th Ave, near the new 9th and Colorado development.

Chook’s juicy quarter-, half- and whole birds come from Denver James Beard Award winner Alex Seidel, who partnered with Adam Schlegel, co-founder of Snooze, and Randy Layman, who created the restaurant’s bar program.

This new Hale location has a bigger dining room than the South Pearl Street original, as well as a separate bar area for drinking Layman’s cocktails and wines from another Snooze family business, Attimo.

Chook is Aussie shorthand for chicken, and the whole brand is inspired by Australian chicken shops. Be sure to order a yellow cake and jam lamington, wrapped in chocolate and coconut, for dessert.

4340 E. 8th Ave., 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily, 720-262-5118, chookchicken.com
