The establishment takes pride in its legacy as the oldest operating Cowboy Chicken location in the area, offering a unique experience that combines traditional cooking methods with a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The wood-fired rotisserie chicken is marinated using a special blend of herbs and spices and slow-roasted over an open flame, resulting in a mouthwatering flavor that distinguishes Cowboy Chicken from other casual dining options.

This position offers the opportunity to develop valuable culinary skills while working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. You will be responsible for the preparation of key ingredients, including marinating and seasoning the wood-fired rotisserie chicken, chopping vegetables, preparing side dishes, and mixing marinades according to established recipes and portion control standards. Inventory management and maintaining a clean and safe workspace will also be important aspects of your role. Adhering to strict food safety and sanitation protocols is crucial to ensure that all food is handled and stored properly, maintaining the restaurant's commitment to health and safety. Collaboration with kitchen team members during peak service hours will be necessary to ensure a smooth workflow and timely delivery of food to customers. Cowboy Chicken not only offers competitive pay but also provides benefits such as health insurance, paid time off for full-time employees, meal benefits, and an employee referral program.
