ISO Prepared rotisserie/bbq chicken Atwater Mkt area

Just moved to the area and had not noticed any sort of prepared whole rotisserie/bbq chicken sold by the butchers in the Market.
I've tried IGA, Provigo and Metro's bbq chickens and found them lacking taste, texture and too fatty.
I was a fan of the ones from the departed 5 Saisons on Greene and also like Maitre Boucher's but wanted something closer. Also big yum to Boucherie Tranzo chix but they are not always available and you are best off reserving, which is too much planning for me.
Like Chalet & CSL BBQ but don't want a meal, just to be able to pick one up while out grocery shopping.
Any ideas?
Also, bonus if someone can suggest somewhere local that does rotisserie turkey breast like they have at US markets like Price Chopper, etc.

    There's also Costco on Bridge street that is not too far if you have a car and membership, i find their rotisserie chicken to be much better than grocery stores ones

      westaust and kpzoo, thanks for the suggestions, that is more in line w what i am seeking, as opposed to a restaurant and paying 15.95 for a grilled/bbq bird.
      will check both of those out.

      Last year one of the temporary kiosks in the outdoor section at Atwater Market (which opens soon) sold whole rotisserie chickens. I never tried them so don't know what they're like, and don't know if that particular stand will be back again, but you could keep your eye out.

        If you don't mind walking across the canal into Point St Charles, you can try Maison Elikya on Centre St. and Island. It is an African/Haitian shop that grills their own chickens. I don't think I ever tried it but I was always curious.

          I've heard good things about Sparta Rotisserie&Grill on Ste Catherine opposite Plaza Alexis Nihon.
          I haven't heard a thing about Rosty on St. Jacques near Atwater.
          I have heard a lot of things about New System BBQ on Notre Dame and that's a strictly fast food-to-each-their-own place.
