For $7, today’s Groupon gets you $15 worth of homemade chicken specialties from Sonoma Chicken Coop on Market Street. A trip to the Coop will keep anyone from ruffling your feathers or fowling your hard-earned reputation as a maker of chicken puns.
In a fancy world of seared scallops, braised tenderloins, duck confit, peanut butter and jelly, and the anomaly of turducken, the power of simple and radiant chicken recipes is sometimes overlooked. The Coop’s menu is constantly changing and incorporating new chicken recipes (and weekly specials) that are homemade, high quality, and fast. The crispy chicken tacos feature sautéed chicken in the shells and a quarter-chicken fried on the side ($9.49). Then there’s the grilled chicken satay with sesame seeds over rice with fresh veggies ($10.99), the chicken parmigiana ($10.99), chicken cannelloni ($10.49), lime-grilled chicken ($9.99), and much more. For days when your chicken-craving has been buried by the shovel of variety, there’s still something to satisfy every appetite (pizzas, steaks, hand-tossed salads, and more). You can also whet your palate with beer and wine.
The chicken-loving experience goes the extra mile with the restaurant’s handsome wine country interior, perfect for indoor eating, and its lovely patio for eating outdoors where the whole world can witness your diligent affection for white meat. Rediscover what makes you love chicken as much as you love legally changing your name.

Take the Chicken
When most Americans invite friends and family over to taste the chicken they made on a grill, most Americans are excessively proud of that chicken and try to serve diners additional helpings—sometimes aggressively. However, sensitivity training can combat forceful chicken serving. Here's a guide to what chicken servers are politely saying and what they really mean:
What They Say: Can I get anyone some more chicken?
What They Mean: Take it! Take the chicken!
What They Say: The chicken tacos are a personal favorite.
What They Mean: Decline the chicken tacos and I will crash a snowplow into your parked bicycle.
What They Say: Does anyone need a doggie bag?
What They Mean: I am unable to grow a beard. Therefore, unfinished chicken will be seen as an attack on my manhood.
