| - We ordered the Whole chicken, it comes with 2 sides and in addition we ordered 1 jalapeno cornbread to try. We had to pick-up as we are outside the delivery area. It came to just over $30.00 including taxes.
We were completely underwhelmed by this meal. Very disappointed actually.
The sides menu lacks variety. Our choices were pickled beets, garlic mash, creole potato salad and mac & cheese. Beets I generally love but its a tough sell for the rest of the family. So we decided on the two potato items. I guess greens are not a big seller, but if you are trying for a southern flair there is a lot more to southern cuisine then mac and cheese and potatoes. Corn on the cob, green beans, baked beans etc. etc are some suggestions.
The sides are tiny. Just enough to satisfy one person, not a family of four. I'm not sure who they are intending to sell their whole chicken 'meal' to, but its definitely not for families. We divided up the 2 sides - one table spoon each of the garlic mashed and creole potato salad (2 adults, 2 kids).
The creole potato salad had potential but there was so much dill that that was all I/we could taste. I thought the pickle crunch was nice and saw mustard seeds in it- but it would have been better to taste the ingredients and not just the dill.
The garlic mash with gravy was tasty I just wish that I could have gotten more than a tablespoon.
The BBQ sauce is nothing to write home about -its a thicker Swiss Chalet sauce and not as good as St. Hubert in Quebec.
Their home sauce also basic -its chicken gravy, its ok, but KFC has better chicken gravy.
The cornbread -we dubbed it the hockey puck. It wouldn't even absorb the gravy/sauce. It was sad and flavourless and remained unfinished despite still feeling hungry.
So we get to the chicken. Oye. The supposed star of the 'meal'. I have never tasted an organic chicken so dry. Ever. It was so-so tasting at best. We eat a lot of rotisserie chicken- and this is not even close to worth it.
At then end of our meal we all wished we had just gone to the Loblaws to pick up their rotisserie chicken and sides, It would have been roughly the same price, jucier and the sides would have been larger and healthier. Or maybe just Loblaws for the chicken and Lou Dawgs for their sides. Basically, anywhere but here.
We had high hopes but won't order from Chickery again. The city has much better to offer than this.
