To celebrate International Fried Chicken Day (yes, that’s a thing) our mates at Deliveroo challenged us to try a bunch of chicken joints near our office to judge who offers up the best bites for our buck (buck buck). Obviously, we accepted. Why would I eat a sad, reheated pasta for lunch when I could devour more chicken than one should ever be responsible for.
To tackle this tantalising task we assembled a chicken-consuming team of legends waiting to suckle on the sweet batter of a whole series of fried chickies. And yes, we even got a fried mushroom for one of our vegan friends. Fried chicken is but a concept, expand your mind.
Without further ado here is our non-biased review of our yummy local fried chicken joints, from cock-a-doodle-don’t to cock-a-doodle-do:
5. Clem’s Chicken Shop – Fried Chicken Meal
Soft skinned and ready to rumble, Clem’s fried chicken offering left us a little peckish.
“It’s hard to fault the Clem’s chicken because it gives you what you expect — a classic fried chicken,” said Ky, who dabbled in devouring the sweet meat of Clem’s chook.
“There was flavour but not a whole lot. I do however prefer the softer skin rather than the crunchy coating.”
We decided to get the meal to offer us some veggies, otherwise, we’d be eating nothing but fried chicken for lunch. The potato bake was delish, the pumpkin was sumptuous and the cheesy cauliflower was honestly killer.
Presentation-wise, Clem’s could do better, but portion, price and taste have me won over.
Incredible portions, interesting presentation.
