Monga

Monga Nuggets

£7.50

Marinated chicken thigh meat nuggets, fried golden brown.

Tip: The nuggets use thigh instead of breast, so they're juicier than the big fillets. Good option if you want something smaller or are sharing a few items between friends.

Monga

Taiker Chicken Fillet

£8.90

Thick-cut fillet with seaweed powder seasoning, a classic Taiwanese night market flavour.

Tip: If you've had Taiwanese fried chicken in Taiwan, this seaweed version is the closest to the real thing. Best eaten with the popcorn chicken to compare flavours.

Monga

Chinatown·$

Hot Chicken Fillet

£8.90

Chilli-seasoned thick-cut chicken fillet with a spicy coating.

Tip: The chilli version is more of a warm tingle than real heat. If you want proper spice, go for the Spicy & Numbing (mala) version instead — that one uses Sichuan peppercorn.

Morley's

Peckham·$

Family Bucket (10 Pieces)

£12.99

Ten pieces of fried chicken in a sharing bucket.

Tip: The ten-piece bucket is the best value on the menu. Order this plus wings and chips separately rather than individual meals — you get more food for less.

Giant Fried Chicken Breast

£9.50

A massive, flattened chicken breast fried to a golden crunch.

Tip: Ask for the 'plum' seasoning powder — it sounds unusual but the sweet and sour hit works perfectly with the salty fried chicken.

Volcano Cheese Chicken

£11.50

Flattened chicken breast filled with a generous amount of molten cheese.

Tip: Be very careful! The cheese is molten and stays hot for a long time. It's best shared as it's a massive amount of food.

The Clove Club

Shoreditch·$$$$

Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Pine Needle Salt

£22.00

Crispy fried chicken served with pine needle salt and herbs.

Tip: This dish is a signature course that appears on both tasting menus. Savor it as one of the snacks — it's a key moment in the progression.

Good Friend Chicken

Chinatown·$

Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken

£8.50

Bite-sized pieces of ultra-crispy fried chicken with traditional seasoning.

Tip: This is the best choice if you're eating while walking around Chinatown — it's much easier to manage than the giant breast.

Dover Street Counter

Mayfair·$$$

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

£22.00

Crispy fried chicken breast with a seasoned buttermilk xxxx.

Tip: Ask for the house hot sauce on the xxxx — it has a great vinegary tang that perfectly balances the rich batter.

Jollof Mama

Seven Dials Market·$

Suya Fried Chicken

£8.50

Crispy fried chicken seasoned with traditional Nigerian peanut spice.

Tip: Even though this is a side, it's a huge portion. Great for sharing with a group inside the market.

Kricket

Shoreditch·$$

Keralan Fried Chicken (KFC)

£12.00

Boneless chicken thigh marinated in tandoori spices and deep-fried.

Tip: Order extra — it's disappears fast. The curry leaf mayo version is slightly different than the plain chilli-garlic version. Try both if you're in a group.

Monga

Chinatown·$

Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken

£6.60

Bite-sized marinated chicken pieces, dry-battered and fried, served in a paper bag with skewers.

Tip: This is the more manageable order if you're walking around Chinatown. The bag format makes it proper street food. Ask for extra seasoning sprinkled on top if you like it salty.

Morley's

Peckham·$

2 Piece Chicken & Chips

£4.49

Two pieces of fried chicken with chips — the core Morley's order.

Tip: Two pieces plus chips is a full meal for one person. If you are hungry, upgrade to three pieces. The chips are generous either way.

The King Chicken Fillet

£8.90

Giant thick-cut chicken breast fillet with salt and pepper seasoning, honey-marinated and fried.

Tip: Start with the original salt and pepper King Fillet before trying flavoured versions. The chicken is on the bone despite being called a fillet — don't be surprised.
