| - So long Nandos, Hello Chicken place!!! I had all but given up on Portuguese chicken here in the Burbs. Either it was too expensive OR the portions were meager and the chicken was boney. Who would have that my first visit to The Chicken Place after driving past it suspiciously for the past 3-4 years would completely turn my world upside down.
It's not an extravagant looking place, just a simply decorated take-away joint with just enough bar stool style seating around the perimeter for those (like me) who know they cannot wait to get home before stuffing their faces.
Coming in for a late lunch I knew what I was looking for and ordered it swiftly from the menu: 1/2 Chicken, Parisian Potatoes and a Caesar salad. I will note that the price factor here was at or slightly above what I was used to paying for Portuguese Chicken but as the staff member said "you get what you pay for here, nothing less."
A bold statement in my books, many make the claim and few deliver. More on the food in moments...
One thing I noticed in the restaurant was the repetition of the statement both on signage in store and by the staff "we are not a fast food, please be patient." I knew something good was cooking here once I read and heard this - who would make such a claim only to serve poor food? Not this place. Totally worth the wait!
After approximately 15-20 minutes my chicken, potatoes and salad were ready. The 1/2 chicken was plump and juicy and packed with meat, one of the most moist I've had and not to mention it was covered in a sweet and spicy sauce on the outside - perfectly glazed. More than the generous chicken portion was the portion sizes of the potatoes and salad in my Caesar.
The potatoes deserve high marks as well, perfectly cooked on the outside with a slight crisp and almost a mash potato center (that soft!!!). The last thing of high honor for me here was there PeriPeri sauce, clearly made in house and with 3 levels of heat (sweet, medium and Hot - I chose HOT...obviously) there is a delicious sauce for every ones taste.
I'm so glad I finally made the trek in here to this conveniently located Aurora take-away shop located at the corner of Industrial Parkway and Wellington Ave. My new fav chicken joint in the burbs - I HIGHLY recommend you try this spot - AMAZEBALLS!!
Protip: Due to their prep time to perfection staff encourages you to call ahead and place your order so its ready upon arrival.
