Yilmaz Yoruk and his Turkish-American family are passionate about good tasting chicken. The family was inspired by their travels to Peru and the chicken served there on nearly every street corner much like we have hot dog stands here.

"Everywhere you go and every corner, all you have is Peruvian rotisserie. You can smell it all across the streets. They call at pollo à la brasa and it is a special form of making rotisserie," said Yilmaz Yoruk, owner of Just Chik'n. "There is no argument it is the best form of rotisserie in the world."

Just Chik'n use select Halal chicken (think kosher style). Everything is freshly made from scratch and made to order. The 10-item menu also includes their version of battered fried chicken.

"Honestly it is pretty amazing. It is so flavorful I can’t wait for you to try it," said Naima Simmons, Just Chik'n general manager.

Yoruk, his parents, and siblings all pitch in at the restaurant. They are open late to make sure nearby RIT and UR students and faculty and medical staff and workers at all the nearby hospitals have a healthy eating option to-go no matter what time.

"I do love the juiciness and how fresh it is. That is what they love about it," said Yoruk.
