#1
Chicken Caesar Salad
CoqfighterSoho·$$
£13.50
Grilled thighs or fried chicken with roast sesame caesar dressing, panko breadcrumbs, and Grana Padano.
Tip: Go fried chicken on top rather than grilled — the contrast between crispy chicken and the creamy sesame dressing is what makes this better than a regular caesar.
#2
Sunday Roast Chicken for Two
The BaringIslington·$$
£23.00
Whole roast chicken to share with all the trimmings.
Tip: Price is per person for the sharing chicken. Book ahead for Sunday -- the roasts sell out. Other options include beef bavette at 27 pounds and rib of beef at 39 pounds per person.
#3
Chicken and Pistachio Shish
Arabica Borough MarketBorough Market·$$
£20.00
Charcoal-grilled chicken skewers with crushed pistachio and garlic sauce.
Tip: If you are ordering family-style for the table, one shish plus two or three dips and some flatbread is roughly the right amount per two people.
#4
Family Bucket (10 Pieces)
Morley'sPeckham·$
£12.99
Ten pieces of fried chicken in a sharing bucket.
Tip: The ten-piece bucket is the best value on the menu. Order this plus wings and chips separately rather than individual meals — you get more food for less.
#5
Chicken Supreme Pizza
Wood and FlamesLeyton·$
£12.99
Wood-fired pizza topped with seasoned chicken, peppers, onions, and a garlic sauce.
Tip: This is the pizza to order if you want something filling. The chicken is well-seasoned and the garlic sauce base is a nice change from tomato. Good for kids too.
#6
Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl
CoqfighterSoho·$$
£14.50
Grilled chicken thighs marinated overnight in Thai herbs and soy, on coconut lemongrass rice.
Tip: This is the dish if you want Coqfighter but not fried food. The coconut lemongrass rice is surprisingly good and the grilled thigh has real flavour from the overnight marinade.
#7
Original BBQ Butter Chicken Wings
BrigadiersCity of London·$$$
£13.50
Chicken wings tossed in a smoky butter chicken sauce.
Tip: Order extra napkins. The butter chicken sauce is messy but you'll want to lick your fingers. These are best shared as a starter for the table.
#8
Pollo Piccante Pizza
Wood and FlamesLeyton·$
£12.99
Spicy chicken pizza with nduja, chilli flakes, and mozzarella.
Tip: The nduja gives a nice background heat but it is not overwhelmingly spicy. If you want it hotter, ask for extra chilli flakes.
#9
Chicken Charsi Karahi
Lahore KarahiTooting·$
£12.95
Peshawari-style karahi with bold spicing, named after the famously intense Charsi Tikka of Peshawar.
Tip: The large size is better value and feeds two to three comfortably. The small is fine for one person with a side of naan.
#10
Grilled Chicken Skewers
TempoBethnal Green·$$
£12.00
Charcoal-grilled chicken with lemongrass sa te chilli oil, roasted onions and sweet basil.
Tip: The charcoal grill gives these real smokiness. Order alongside the prawn toast and the tofu for a good spread of three dishes to share between two people.
#11
Roast Chicken & Gravy Sub
CoqfighterSoho·$$
£12.50
Pulled roast chicken and miso gravy on a buttered, toasted sub, finished with Grana Padano.
Tip: The miso gravy is what sets this apart from any other chicken sub — it adds a savoury depth you won't expect. Eat it quickly before the sub soaks through.
#12
Chicken Manti
OshPazCovent Garden·$
£8.50
Steamed dumplings with a chicken filling, served with sour cream and carrot salad.
Tip: If you can't decide between beef and chicken manti, the chicken is lighter and arguably more delicate. Worth trying both if you come with a friend.
#13
Butter Chicken
Spice VillageTooting·$
£13.99
Chicken tikka in a creamy tomato-based sauce with butter and mild spices.
Tip: This is the mildest curry on the menu. If you want something with more kick, go for the karahi instead. Good choice for kids or spice-averse friends.
#14
Chicken Achilles Skewer
Humble ChickenSoho·$$$$
£235.00
Yakitori-style chicken achilles tendon with charcoal fat, daikon oroshi and kosho.
Tip: This skewer is the course that most directly connects to the restaurant's origins as a yakitori joint. Pay attention to the texture — the achilles tendon is unlike any other cut of chicken.
#15
Chicken Fillet Burger
Morley'sPeckham·$
£4.49
Fried chicken breast fillet in a bun with lettuce and mayo.
Tip: Add cheese and chilli sauce to upgrade it. The plain version is good but the extras make it better for minimal extra cost.
#16
Taiker Chicken Fillet
MongaChinatown·$
£8.90
Thick-cut fillet with seaweed powder seasoning, a classic Taiwanese night market flavour.
Tip: If you've had Taiwanese fried chicken in Taiwan, this seaweed version is the closest to the real thing. Best eaten with the popcorn chicken to compare flavours.
#17
Machuzi Kuku
Madhu'sSouthall·$$
£15.50
East African-style chicken curry from Madhu's Kenyan heritage, cooked in a coconut-based sauce.
Tip: This dish reflects the family's Kenyan background — you will not find it at other Indian restaurants. Order it alongside a Punjabi curry for the contrast.
#18
Chicken Gyoza
KizanaBattersea·$$$
£8.00
Pan-fried chicken dumplings with a crispy bottom and soft top.
Tip: Order these for the table as soon as you sit down — they come out fast and keep everyone happy while the sushi is prepared.
#19
Charcoal Chicken Skewers
HeraStratford·$$$
£16.00
Marinated chicken thigh pieces grilled over charcoal, served with tzatziki.
Tip: Order one or two skewer plates for the table alongside the octopus and saganaki — the sharing format works better than ordering individual mains here.
#20
Monga Nuggets
MongaChinatown·$
£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.
#21
Green Chilli Cheese Chicken Sandwich
CoqfighterSoho·$$
£12.50
Fried chicken breast with American cheese, chipotle mayo, and pickled green chilli in a sesame bun.
Tip: If the Nashville Hot is too much heat for you, this is the one. The pickled green chillies give enough spice without the Nashville burn, and the melted cheese makes it feel more substantial.
#22
Hot Chicken Fillet
MongaChinatown·$
£8.90
Chilli-seasoned thick-cut chicken fillet with a spicy coating.
Tip: The chilli version is more of a warm tingle than real heat. If you want proper spice, go for the Spicy & Numbing (mala) version instead — that one uses Sichuan peppercorn.
#23
BBQ Wings (6 Piece)
Morley'sPeckham·$
£4.99
Six fried chicken wings tossed in sticky BBQ sauce.
Tip: Eat these immediately. The BBQ sauce softens the batter quickly so they lose crunch if they sit in the box. Grab extra napkins.
#24
Wild Ginger Chicken Thighs
SingburiShoreditch·$$
£13.00
Succulent chicken thighs with wild ginger and aromatic spices.
Tip: The wild ginger is the key here — it gives the chicken a knockout flavor that's juicy and full of authentic Thai spice.
#25
Chicken Lollipop
Dosa N ChutnyTooting·$
£7.50
Marinated and fried chicken pieces with bone in, deeply spiced.
Tip: If you eat meat, this is worth a try — reviewers consistently call it perfectly spiced and juicy. Goes well before dosas.
#26

£9.60
Homemade pie with tender chicken and mushrooms in cream sauce.
Tip: At under £10 for homemade pies with generous portions, this is some of the best-value cafe food in London.
#27
Chicken Inasal
DoniaSoho·$$$
£28.00
Charred and caramelised chicken in vinegar and annatto sauce.
Tip: Note that Donia's version includes a peanut-based sauce, which differs from traditional charcoal-grilled inasal. Still tasty but expect a modern take, not the classic preparation.
#28
Poulet de Bresse
Otto'sHolborn·$$$
£38.00
French blue-foot chicken roasted and served with pan sauce.
Tip: This is what good chicken tastes like. It's a completely different bird from what you eat at home.
#29
Vol-au-Vent with Chicken & Mushroom
JosephineChelsea·$$$
£16.00
Light pastry case filled with creamed chicken and mushrooms.
Tip: Eat this while the pastry is still warm and crisp — the puff pastry shell loses its texture as it cools.
#30
Tandoori Chicken
Al KahfWhitechapel·$
£7.50
Marinated chicken cooked in traditional tandoori spices.
Tip: The tandoori chicken is a good choice if you want something less heavy than the lamb shank or meat platters. Comes with free salad and chili sauce.

The Hot Chicken Sando
Lucky's Hot ChickenSeven Dials Market·$
£13.50
Signature Nashville hot chicken breast in a buttery brioche bun.
Tip: The 'Medium' is plenty spicy for most people. If you're not a professional spice eater, avoid the 'XXX' — it's genuinely punishing heat.

Chick'n'SoursHaggerston·$$

Signature fried chicken thigh sandwich with gochujang mayo and Asian slaw.
Tip: The chilli vinegar is the secret — it really cuts through the richness of the fried chicken. Be prepared for a bit of a mess!
#4098% recommend
