Savor Roasted Chicken at These 12 Las Vegas Restaurants
Cold weather calls for this hearty dish

Bok Bok Chicken
Bok Bok Chicken originated in 2018 with one Las Vegas restaurant and has quickly spread to five locations locally plus three in Los Angeles. The casual spot specializes in Mediterranean recipes, many centered around Bok Bok’s namesake menu item. Diners can order a whole chicken with fresh pita, a half chicken with fattoush, or roasted chicken in a pita sandwich with vegetables.
