Whether you like your dripping in hot sauce, southern spiced or Korean fried, here’s where to find some of the best fried chicken in London.
How do you take your fried chicken? Hot and spicy tenders? A wing doused in sauce? In a soft bun with crunchy lettuce and homemade mayo? Whichever way you like yours, when you get the craving, it can be hard to shake.
But while fried chicken shops can be found just about everywhere in London, it pays to know where to find the best towering fillet burger or Louisiana hot wing. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered. From award-winning Korean fried chicken to the classic market spots that deliver on southern-fried flavour every time, why not start planning your next dinner out and try one of these six hotspots?
Chick ’n’ Sours
Head to Seven Dials Market for delicious wings, monthly specials (currently a Macho Nacho burger inspired by Mexico) and next-level fried chicken sandwiches like the Seoul Destroyer, featuring a Korean gochujang glaze, sriracha sour cream and kimchi.
Can’t decide? The icons set menu allows you to try a bit of everything for £25 per head.
