One of the characters Mike Myers plays in “So I Married an Axe Murderer” is a drunken Scotsman who loves dancing to bagpipe music, obsesses about his son’s gigantic head and detests Col. Harland Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame.

In one of the funnier quotes from the 1993 movie, Myers’ character claims that Col. Sanders “puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly.”

I don’t know if the folks at Am Silbersee employ the alleged tactics of Col. Sanders when making chicken, but I do know they cook a mean yard bird that you’ll crave. Their rotisserie-style chicken — served only on Fridays after 6 p.m. between May and September — is mighty tasty.

If you can find this restaurant sometime between now and September, do yourself a favor and get the chicken. It’s just a matter of finding it.

Am Silbersee is tucked away on the shores of (drum roll, please) the Silbersee in Landstuhl. It’s down one of those small bike paths common to the area, and if you feel like you’re lost on the way there, you’re probably going the right way. Hint: Do some scouting on Google Earth for Silbersee beforehand and then look for the signs to Silbersee when you’re on your way.

The restaurant is pretty much a log-wood cabin that feels like a cozy fishing lodge. It even has fishing lures and stuffed fish on its walls. If the weather’s nice, an outdoor deck offers lovely views of the lake.

Yes, the restaurant has all the typical German fare — schnitzel, rumpsteak and bratwurst, sauerkraut— but you can get that stuff anywhere. Am Silbersee is renowned for its grilled chicken.

And don’t just think you can show up on a Friday evening when they start serving the chicken and hope to get a seat. You must make a reservation by at least Wednesday or Thursday of the week you’re planning to go.

You’ll thank yourself for planning ahead once you taste this chicken. It’s a rotisserie-cooked, half chicken that’s basted with some type of butter sauce and heated in an outdoor cast-iron, wood-fired cooker.

I recently ate there with four women and another guy. The woman across from me absolutely crushed her chicken. What was once a sumptuous plate of chicken and garlic potato salad soon resembled a desert bone yard. I think she liked it.

The only ding I have on Am Silbersee is that I was looking forward to downing a few of the Maibock beers they had advertised on an outdoor chalkboard. However, they ran out of the seasonal brew. I felt like crying until I remembered I was about to devour some tasty, tasty chicken.
