    Can I just say a huge thank you to Mother Clucker? These guys were my Sunday night Saviours on the…read moreweekend just gone... I should probably explain how a fast food joint saved the day. Sunday was the launch of XP at the Mockingbird Theatre. This is a geek themed event held once a night and is a bit of a mecca for all things board game, computer game, quiz and film orientated. Naturally we had to go. I am currently on a bootcamp scheme (see http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/fit-body-bootcamp-birmingham for info), meaning I am on a strict diet of proteins, fats and No carbs. After consuming a smoothie for my breakfast and a salad for my lunch, I was starving hungry by 5pm. Everyone seemed to be either ordering pizza (a major no-no for me) or heading to Subway for their tea. I thought neither of these would be an option before a helpful person mentioned that Subway did salad bowls, problem solved... Or so I thought. Despite having all of the components of salad, Subway in Digbeth DON'T do salad bowls (and their staff are pretty unhelpful too). In a major grump, I left the store to see what else was on offer on the street. Right next door I came across Mother Clucker. Firstly, they scored a point for having a name that made me snigger, secondly... They couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. After a quick peruse of the menu I opted for lemon and herb chicken (which is served without skin). I asked if I could have some salad with this, after looking at me strangely for a minute - the guy said "Sure, we can do that. It'll be no extra charge". Winner. The chicken was cooked fresh for me as I waited and I requested some lettuce, onion and chillies (all I could have). I was even warned that the salad might be a bit rubbish as it's predominently meant for burgers, but I thought it was sweet that they warned me. My diet friendly feast was a budget busting £3.50. The guys that did end up going to Subway ended up pretty jealous of my dinner after all. This new kid on the block is sparkling clean, very friendly and super helpful. Will I be back? You can bet your bottom dollar I will.

    I love my chicken and I really love fried chicken too, so I'm always happy to go into a specific…read morechicken takeaway shop for something to eat. This little place is even better because it's also called 'Chicken' so you know exactly what you're getting before you even walk in.....brilliant!! Most of the time I only buy my fried chicken from certain takeaway shops but when I visited this shop I was pleasantly surprised. It's not bad at all and they offer great value meals for those on a tight budget who can't afford to buy expensive lunches. They don't overdo the chicken coating as some places tend to overdo it and therefore the chicken ends up tasting horrible. Also, it's not as greasy as what I expected; which was a pleasant surprise as well. I paid about £2 for a chicken and chips meal and that totally filled me up for most of the day.

    This is quite frankly the worst take away I have ever had. I ordered through Hungry House last…read morenight (surprisingly not through the web address www.chicken.com which doesn't even exist let alone do they not own it, idiocy) as I needed something quick to eat as I had been travelling all day. I requested some chicken, fries, ribs, a can of Fanta and a bottle of Coke. The chicken was horrible, it really was sodden with grease, the fries were soggy, the ribs were not made from pork at all (I dread to think what it was, I only ate one), it wasn't Fanta I received it was some cheap imitation called Mirinda and it wasn't Coke either it was Pepsi. It is safe to say NOTHING that I ordered was any good or correct. If you can't supply the exact item that someone has ordered you need to tell them, don't advertise Fanta if you mean Mirinda, i would not have ordered it. If you go to HMV to buy Despicable Me on DVD you don't expect to be given Shrek and told it's almost the same as they are both animated, do you? In bars and restaurants all places need to ask you if you are ok with Pepsi if you ask for Coke, for the full reason that it is not the same product. I don't really expect much when it comes to take away anyway but at the same time i don't think it takes much either to get simple things like an order right. I don't really expect much in the way of food quality either but there is food and then there is bin contents and quite frankly this was bin contents. Finally if you're going to call yourselves Chicken.com, why not obtain the web address that is Chicken.com? This only sums up how stupid the people who run this restaurant must be in the first place. AVOID!

I found bonehead online and went for a walk to get myself some dinner. I walked right by it once, so keep your eyes open. It was just me, so I sat at the bar. ordered a pint, some wings and tots. I ordered the dragon wings and Buffalo tots. The dragon wings sauce was excellent. The wings were cooked well and the presentation was good. The tots were the hottest part of the meal. This buffalo sauce has a bite. lucky for me there was plenty of cold bureau on hand. Thee guys at the bar were friendly and the service was great. If I lived here, this would definitely be one of my local spots.

We ordered three plates of topped fries, two types of wings, and three burgers. I also ordered a session ale, that sadly I don't remember the name of. The place was busy, so service wasn't super quick, but that's not an issue. I had the traditional normal wings, which are fried in breadcrumbs, and served with an amazing tangy ranch style sauce. Cooked perfectly. There were also some of the Asian style on the table. Which were equally as incredible. The fries, were topped with coleslaw, slightly spicy comeback sauce. Wonderfully done. The burgers got thumbs up all around. There was a buffalo and two hot head, I couldn't sing it's praises enough. My favourite chicken place to date, has been crackbird in Dublin. This has taken its crown. Bravo. (The beer was great)

If you've attended the University of Birmingham, then there's a good chance you know all about it already: Staples such as the 'number five' and similarly popular set meals (which are damn good value for money, might I add) are common amongst the student lexicon and are placed at the lofty status of "legendary". Much of this high opinion of the House comes from those staggering home from Fab - the guild's weekly clubnight which goes down every Saturday night. Therefore, if there's not much on your telly and you're in need of a laugh, your best bet would be to sit outside Rooster House from around midnight on a Sunday morning and watch the train wrecks come and go. I imagine that Rooster House does the majority of its business during these fraught and hilarious hours of the night and it's almost impossible to not get sucked in. I find the chips to be pretty good, but the hot wings are the real winner here. You could always get a pizza, but if you do then you're completely missing the point. The hint as to what Rooster House nails is in the name, dummy!

The chicken has a spicy but slightly sweet flavor to it and is nice and juicy. The lamb is also tender, but offers a bit too large of flavor contrast in the mix schwarma. Occasional gristle in the lamb. Fries are adequate. Soda selection is eclectic and fun. Cash only, FYI.

Used to come down for lunch with classmates. It's the only good chippy in town with food that feels fresh. As you can tell from the name, they specialise in chicken. Fried and Grilled. They do peri peri chicken like nandos, just as good. Their Peri peri chicken are the popular one on menu, not so much for fried chicken, i've had better elsewhere. It's not bad though. They also have variety of burgers. Fried, grilled with different level of spice (mild-hot) I moslty get grilled burger (medium hot) or southern fried chicken burger with curly fries. I love curley fries, you get some that are crispy and some soft. They also do wedges and normal fries. They have an upstairs seating which is quite large and have and outdoor terrace tables that is perfect on a hot day. It used to get busy during the day, quite popular with teenagers. Now with so many food shops opening next door and opposite they seem to loose a bit of customers. Was not as busy as used to be when I went recently. They have competition from Carribean Take away, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Fri-days and new ones opened not long ( Sushi Time and Shawarma) Still not bad place and food is good. £4 for a meal, not bad for a take away in City Centre

    Maryland Chicken is one of the better fried chicken outlets in Leicester. The two main things it…read morehas going for it is its prices; they do some exceptional meal deals, with the cheapest being a ridiculously cheap £1.99 to other options for under £3.50. When you compare what you would pay at KFC for a similar meal deal, you would be paying double in most cases. Maryland Chicken is not only cheaper but I have found the quality to be just as good as more expensive fried chicken outlets (including KFC). There are plenty of options, including some delicious spicey chicken options. It can get busy here at peak times and at weekends, due to the popularity of the place, but turnaround is always very quick and even at the busiest times I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. In terms of price and quality, Maryland chicken is hard to beat. In these difficult economic times, Maryland Chicken is the perfect place for all you credit crunch hit fried chicken enthusiasts!

A wide variety of meal deals are at your disposal and essentially you can get a family meal for pretty much the same as a large KFC. The staff are hardworking and generally friendly, the portions are ace and they don't charge you extra for a sachet of mayonnaise. Leicester's chicken places are legendary, there are so many and many are halal, so if you've not been to Leicester before you really should try one. A chicken fillet burger, loads of fries and a can for £1.99? Yes please, m'laddo. You only live once.
