Chicken Kitchen

"This casual Goldhawk Road spot combines two godly creations. The fried dumpling and jerk chicken. The dumpling is so fluffy that you could very well eat a whole batch of them alone (which they do sell), but the Caribbean jerk spiced chicken inside is saucy and full of flavour. You can add more fillings to the dumpling burger like fried plantain, avocado, and cheese, or you can keep it simple. It’s a casual, popular, and small spot with limited seating, but the dumpling burger is worth it. Get a bottle of their homemade fruit punch while you’re there." - team infatuation

"Open until 11pm on a Monday, Chicken Kitchen is a casual Caribbean spot on Goldhawk Road that combines two godly creations—the fried dumpling and jerk chicken. The dumpling is so fluffy that you could very well eat a whole batch of them alone (which they do sell), but the Caribbean jerk spiced chicken inside is saucy and full of smoky, spicy flavour. Pop in for a speedy dinner when you’re not fussed about the aesthetics." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

It’s a popular (and small) spot with limited chicken-shop-like seating, so if you’re in a rush taking it away is the better option.

"Your order: Jerk chicken dumpling burger (£4.95) There’s one very important thing you need to know before continuing with your day. And that is that somewhere in W12, there is a dumpling burger, waiting to be eaten. Why does that affect your life? We’ll tell you why. At this spot on Goldhawk Road, you can get some great jerk chicken, and as if that wasn’t already enough, you can get it sandwiched inside a fried dumpling. The dumpling is fluffy, and we could eat a whole batch of them alone (which they do sell), but the Caribbean jerk spiced chicken inside is saucy and full of flavour. You can add things like fried plantain, avocado, and cheese, or you can keep it simple. Either way it’s excellent and it may well have ruined the average burger bun for us, because we’d love all our future chicken to come inside a dumpling. Open for takeaway and delivery around W12." - rianne shlebak
