August | 2015 | The Chicken Scene

It was a great spring day which meant all the clucking Melbourne Fried Chicken trucks were out and about and Hollywood and The Chick (& Co) were starving for some good golden crispy chooks

We stumbled up the Korean Fried Chicken Truck in Alma Park in St Kilda East and decided to give it a go. We ordered a serve of the fried chicken pieces which came with a spicy mayo and hot sauce, seaweed that was all resting on a bed of slaw.

The chicken pieces were all wings and drumettes. They were all juicy and fresh and the accompanying sauces added lots of flavor which helped the chicken out in the spice department. For some reason this place reminded us of Japanese style chicken (Karaage), maybe because of the seaweed?

Hollywood’s Rating: 6.5/10 Clucks

The Chick’s Rating: 6/10 Clucks

Hollywood and the boys (The Guns and The Tan) were up for a good burger for their Friday lunch. They all headed to Burger Boys as it was recently listed to have some good burgers. To their surprise there were wings and a fried chicken burger which meant time for a new Melbourne Fried Chicken review.

We got the wings to share and the fried chicken burgers to try. The wings were listed as twice fried which sounded really good. The Kentucky Derby was the fried chicken burger which came as twice fried chicken with sriracha mayo with saigon slow and Hi-melt american cheese. The usual fries, rings and beers accompanied.

While the wings were cooked well and were piping hot, they did lack any spices at all. That was a bit of a bummer, luckily we ordered some hot dipping sauce which helped a bit.
