My order:
3 Chicken Tenders
3 Chicken Wings (Hot sauce)
1 Large House Fries
3 x Sauces (Sriracha Sour Cream, 2 x Hot Sauce)
Total £10.05
Chik'n is the latest addition to Baker Street, offering fried chicken.
I visited in the evening, when there wasn't a queue. Despite this, my order took nearly 20 minutes to get done. On a positive note, it appears that all the food is prepared fresh for every order. The manager kindly offered me a free drink and apologised for the wait.
Sadly, the food quality wasn't on par considering the premium cost. The chicken wings in particular tasted very peculiar -- almost as if they hadn't been washed. The hot sauce wasn't able to mask this underlying taste, and so the wings were an immediate write off.
The chicken tenders were better, but I felt they were almost too crispy. Sadly, the £0.20 sauce tubs are far too small, and barely enough for more than 2-3 dips.
Chips were crinkle cut, and slightly overdone. I would say that the large chips would equate to a small chips at almost any other restaurant. Again, the sauce tubs are far too small but get more than a few dips in.
I wouldn't visit Chik'n again -- I can get a much tastier meal (and better value for money) by visiting KFC just a few doors away. And Nando's is straight over the road too.
Conclusion: Avoid for now.
