$35pp Bottomless Fried Chicken, anyone? Yes, please! My Fried Chicken, famous for their viral Bottomless Menu, has quickly become a go-to spot for Korean-style fried chicken. This style is known for its thinner, crispier batter, unlike the thicker American buttermilk version. At My Fried Chicken, you get 90 minutes to devour as many drumsticks, fries, and K-Slaw as you can handle. Treat it like a tasting menu and explore nine unique Korean flavours - Maple Butter, Cheese Seasoning, and Creamy Onion! Had too much chicken? That’s what the fries and K-Slaw are for 😋

Nashville Hot Chicken

Location:

📍2 Queens Road Panmure Auckland 1072

What makes Nashville Style Fried Chicken so different from the rest? While no one knows exactly who kicked off this tasty trend, its unique flavour comes from a mix of lard and cayenne pepper. This spicy oil is brushed onto each crispy piece of chicken, making it the 'Nashville mark.' If you love a good kick in your food, it’s a must-try for you! At Peach’s Hot Chicken, you can pick from four spice levels and dive into other American classics like their Chicken & Biscuit. Their biscuit might look like a scone, but it’s a homemade buttermilk biscuit stuffed with their juicy fried chicken. And while you're there, why not give their fried pickles a try on the side?

Popeyes

7/10 ⭐️

Cuisine:

Louisiana Fried Chicken

Location:

📍 3 Locations Across New Zealand

Ever wonder what the most popular type of fried chicken is? Southern Fried Chicken, of course! No wonder Popeyes’ first opening in Takanini was such a hit here in New Zealand. If you love that satisfying crunch with every bite, Popeyes’ juicy chicken is for you. Marinated for 12 hours in their signature Louisiana herbs and spices, it delivers that classic Cajun seasoning flavour. Their chicken is also fried in beef tallow, which gives the chicken its perfectly crispy skin without any burnt oil taste. It’s a soul food must-try!
