Hexagone in Bankers Hill brings new life to poultry by starting with a half chicken and coating it lightly in flour and herbs. The bird is draped with thinly sliced lemons at the end of the cooking process, which infuses the meat with an awakening tartness that travels right down to the bones. Perfectly cooked braised greens and fat fingerling potatoes served alongside result in a rustic meal that tastes remarkably light without compromising its French theme.
