My visit was at 11am on a Thursday (could this influence freshness of oil, which other reviews focus on?). My mom did find the batter salty, but I had no complaints at all, except price (it should be $4.99, not $5.99 - in the US it's $3.99, so this seems another example of "gouge the Canadians").

I've been conditioned to crave fried chicken on Tuesdays due to another chain's very popular…read more"Toonie Tuesday" special. I was going to be in the area so I placed an order for pickup at this location. Online ordering isn't available in Canada so I had to do so by phone. The gentleman who took my order was very fast and efficient and made sure to repeat all my customizations back to me. This location is in a small plaza that only has one entrance and no left turn out of the parking lot. It can get a little hectic in there as there's also a Starbucks drive through line. There were a few other patrons waiting inside for their orders that night. It's actually kind of interesting that the 3 people in front of us ordered almost the exact same thing - a 12 piece family meal with 2 chicken sandwiches! A popular order so it must be good right? The chicken was piping hot and fresh. The skin was perfectly crunchy with the meat inside somehow being moist, tender, and very flavorful. I was able to get my order with all dark meat pieces and half mild, half spicy. I didn't try any of the spicy pieces. The meal came with 2 sides. I always get the cajun fries which were great as usual. This was the first time I was trying the mac and cheese and it was actually terrible. Not sure how macaroni and cheese can be that bad but it was. It was almost ice cold which was definitely a little worrisome. After nuking it in the microwave, I found that it had a really weird sweet taste to it. The biscuits were more dense than I'm used to but they still tasted okay. I finally got to try the chicken sandwich with no outrageous lines! I ordered one spicy and one mild to get the full experience. On the spicy sandwich, the piece of chicken itself was not spicy. It was only the sauce that added the real kick to it and I found it was too spicy for me to eat the whole thing myself. The mild sandwich was tasty though. The breading on the chicken was different from the breading on the pieces you'd normally get. If you really want me to compare to the Chick-Fil-A sandwich I'd have to say that the Popeyes sandwich might actually edge it out. The past few CFA sandwiches I've had featured soggy breading on the chicken though I do really love that sauce. All in all a decent visit so the rating is probably a 3.5 but I can't shake the mac and cheese nightmare lol.

I've eaten here in the past and enjoyed their crispy fried chicken. This visit, however, was a bit different. The chicken, while not terrible, didn't taste as freshly cooked as in past visits. Maybe the oil needed to be changed? The fries were just awful. They were just soft and soggy, even though I watched them being cooked so I know they were freshly made. At least I was able to take advantage of their Monday/Tuesday special of $5.99 for 2pcs with fries. Did they have an off-day, or has their quality gone down? Hmmm...

This restaurant has received wildly varying reviews, and finally I needed to judge for myself. I boldly ordered a 16 piece fried chicken family dinner, with fries, onion rings and mac and cheese as our sides. I phoned the order in, just to ask a few questions before ordering. The meal was ready in about 25 minutes, as promised. The staff who helped me and took my order was friendly, informative and kind. He was also honest. He steered me away from the mashed potatoes that I was considering, telling me, "They aren't the real thing." When I asked more, he continued to explain that they are a dehydrated, just-add-water type situation. So I quickly nixed those, and went with the mac and cheese instead. Knowing that it was my first visit, he threw in a bottle of ginger ale for free!! The meal itself was delicious and satisfying, with a few misses, as follows: Chicken - 5/5: it was so flavorful and juicy, with a substantial yet delicately crisp coating Masala Fries - 5/5. Crispy and mildly spiced . Onion Rings - 5/5. These were among the best my family and I have had. Biscuits - 2/5. Sorry to say, the biscuits were disappointing , with a cake-like, rather than flaky, crumb and bland flavor. Chicken Kitchen, please get a new biscuit provider! However, it's not worth taking off a star when the rest of the meal was on point. Chicken Kitchen, Bravo!! I'll be back,! If you are in the Pickering area, the Chicken Kitchen, modestly located in a humble little local mall, is worth considering. Parking is plentiful.

We recently visited Chicken Kitchen in Pickering. The food was good, but there was one thing that…read morereally concerned me. The employee who was taking orders and preparing the food had very long, dirty fingernails. Since he was handling both customers and food, it didn't seem hygienic and honestly made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to mention it to him at the time, but the restaurant was very busy with many customers waiting for their orders, and I didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone. Food hygiene should be one of the highest priorities for any restaurant. I hope the management addresses this issue and ensures that all staff maintain proper personal hygiene, including keeping their nails short and clean, for the safety and confidence of customers.

The quality of their food has improved 1,000% since my first review and I must say, I am a little bit addicted to their wings. Their wings are crispy without being too dry and we usually get our wings with the sauces on the side. They have a great deal for 3 lbs of wings with a basket of fries and a garden salad for $39.95 and if you ask them to substitute onion rings for the garden salad, they are happy to oblige. I am certainly grateful to have these guys so close to home and their wings will be in our meal rotation for a long time to come.

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and I can see why there's so much hype…read more We came for a very late lunch, but the restaurant was still quite busy. We ordered Dave's #1 (2 tenders) and weren't sure how spicy to go, so we got one Medium and one Mild just to be safe. After trying them, I think we could definitely handle a hotter spice level next time. The chicken tenders were big and came served on a slice of bread, which made the meal surprisingly filling. The chicken itself was flavourful, incredibly crispy without being greasy or heavy, and still juicy inside. The fries were also really good, and the Dave's Sauce was delicious. We ended up using every last bit of it on both the chicken and the fries. The restaurant was bright and clean, and I noticed an employee regularly wiping down tables, which I appreciated. My only complaint is the price. The two-tender meal with fries is $18.99, and drinks are an additional $2.99. It looks like a combo, but it doesn't actually include a drink, so the total adds up. Overall, a solid quick meal!
