Legendary chicken shop with signature herby seasoning, crispy skin
"There are so many chicken shops in Tottenham but there is only one Chick King. In the shadow of the Spurs stadium, this family-run restaurant has been open for more than 40 years. Three things are guaranteed here. There will be a queue, the no-nonsense owner will give you a big grin if you give him one first, and that crispy chicken skin is second to none. Whether you opt for a classic three pieces and chips combo or the mayo-loaded chicken sandwich, it’s some of London’s best fried chicken." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
"According to the internet, there are over 8,000 fried chicken shops in London, but there’s only one Chick King. Or at least one that you should definitely be seeking out. This rain-or-shine Tottenham takeaway is pilgrimage-worthy for many people. The chicken is succulent (but never greasy), seasoned to perfection (but never too salty), and supremely crunchy (but never a risk to those of us with fillings)." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager

Prices are higher than your average chicken spot, and it’s worth it." - heidi lauth beasley
"Yes, they can deliver to your bed A rain-or-shine Tottenham takeaway that is more revered than the Spurs football stadium it sits in the shadow of, Chick King is a takeaway chicken shop with a difference. Quality is never replaced by speed here, and that signature herby seasoning is never replaced by a sad rub of salt. No disrespect to the Colonel, but this is truly fried chicken done right. Whether it’s loaded into a budget sesame bun, coated in hot sauce, or propped up on a bed of thick fluffy chips, this is a hangover cure for the ages." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Chick King is, perhaps, Tottenham’s own version of the South London institution Morley’s. There are a handful of storied fried chicken shops in the capital which set themselves apart — this is one of them. Still, such sentimentality is built on food, and Chick-King’s is excellent: the chicken brings more appreciable succulency than most, its crispy coating jackets seasoned masterfully. This is a must when visiting White Hart Lane." - Josh Barrie
