Who loves "Chicken in a Basket" if so where is the best place you can advise?
Pouletburg .

The Chnuschperhüsli at Buechenegg:
KFC, but you will need to take your own basket
Truebsee mountain restaurant in Engelberg.
But only in the bar, where they also do excellent Flammenkuechen.
Gasthaus Schifflände in Einsiedeln:

Reservations necessary - yes, the Poulets im Chörbli is that good.
I'll have to give it a try in the bar. I had some a couple of days ago in the self-service restaurant and even though it came directly from the kitchen, it was lousy (overcooked and dry).
Chicken in a basket? That takes me back a year or two. Didn't even realise there were places still doing chicken in a basket anymore, I thought it was one of those food fads that stopped being popular long ago.
Well, all I can say is that roast chicken in a basket should be properly cooked all the way through, IMO, and what's wrong with it being dry? That's what the sauce is for.
Probably did in the UK, where it was in the first wave of 'pub food' back in the '70s, but we all know how far behind trends the Swiss are
Gata should respond, but we went to a wonderful all you can eat place in Geneva old town with Deep Purple. Not in a basket, but yummy and not too expensive.
Do you think they do 'scampi in a basket' too? That would be cool.
Roast? Fry! Where? See above!
But only if they made them out of random bits of fish offcuts shaped vaguely into something almost, but not entirely, unlike a prawn tail, and thickly coated in tasteless breadcrumbs, right?
Washed down with a lukewarm Lambrusco?
Reminds me of when my mum and dad used to get the odd night for "a meal out" which seemed to consist of 'something in a basket' preceded by a prawn cocktail and finished off with profiteroles, and we'd have some sour-faced baby sitter to put us to bed half an hour before her TV programme started.
Ahhh, fine dining 1970's style...
The pubs I used to frequent, just served up 'teeth-in-a-basket'.
There is no reason, other than bad cooking, for it to be dry.

Ha, now it looks like I found where my ex-wife is working
When cheese fondue was also de rigour for dinner parties in the U.K.
(And then people realised how dull it really was).
Wot, a real basket? That's posh, that is.
