America is famous for many of the world's biggest fast food chains, with fried chicken among the most popular exports. And it continues to grow in popularity here in Manchester with the recent arrival of two more US chicken chains to compete with the grandaddy of Southern-fried treats, KFC.
Slim Chickens and WIngstop have this year both opened four huge new Manchester sites amid rapid UK expansion. Both brands are now available at the Trafford Centre as well as in prime spots in the city centre - Wingstop on Piccadilly Gardens while Slim Chickens is in the Manchester Arndale centre.
The barbecue chicken treats from the USA are now well and truly embedded in UK culture, with the Texan hot wings of Wingstop and Arkansas treats of Slim Chickens seemingly keen to take a slice of KFC 's Kentucky-fried dominance. But how do the three fried chicken giants really compare?
