| - With all the buzz about new vendors for TFC (Taiwanese fried chicken) and KFC (Korean fried chicken), one really feels nostalgic towards having good ol' North American fried chicken. Being near King and Spadina for most of my week, The Chickery is a common take out I see in my building. Curious, I went just recently and here are my thoughts:
- If you're a Yelper, you're in luck because you get two free chicken fingers when you buy an entree and check in
- The portion sizes are ginormous! At first, the prices may seem a little high, but when you receive your meal, you're definitely going to feel bloated
- The service is impeccable. The staff members are friendly and have a very "chill" vibe to them (in a good way)
- The chicken burger I ordered is a popular item, but I think I will pass on this next time. The bun is softer and sweeter than most hamburger buns, so it added a unique taste. You get a lot of chicken as well, but unfortunately mine tasted bland and dry. Even the sauces, which were excessive in volume, were barely flavourful and thus did nothing for me but add extra calories into the meal.
- The chicken fingers in mild and wild flavour have a more flavourful kick to them than the sandwich. However, be warned that the breading is thicker on these fingers, so these may not be up to your preference.
The bottom line is that the Chickery cannot compete with large chains like Popeyes and KFC. The Chickery's chicken isn't as flavourful, moist, and juicy. It's also more expensive in comparison, so you may want to save your lunch money for your usual trip to the food court instead.
