Hollywood was at a work trip in Brisbane and right close by to where work was, a heavenly fried chicken option: La Rottiserie

The place boasts to dish out a superb fried chicken as “Our succulent rotisserie chicken dipped in buttermilk and New Orleans inspired spices, flash fried for just 30 seconds and served with ranch dressing…not so sinful after all!!”

The chicken was amazing, fresh and steamy and extremely tender like even falling off the bones) even the breast. The coating was flaky and spiced well but could have been a little bit spicier…but we are just nitpicking here, nothing really to complain about

When Hollywood heard the news that Huxtaburger was doing their own rendition of Melbourne Fried Chicken he jumped on the chance to check out the crispy goodness

This chicken was a bit of a disappointment. It wasnt properly spiced and the pieces were small. The chicken was a bit dry as well but luckily the sriracha mayo was there to save the day. Our advice is to go for the burgers and give the tenders a miss

It was a rough day for Hollywood and The Chick as all their plans for a weekend away diving did not work. The best method of recovery? A good serving of Melbourne Fried Chicken.

We went for a close refuge of Leonard’s House Of Love

The order consisted of the original fried chicken tenders that comes with chipotle mayo

As usual this chicken was amazing. It was crunchy, freshly cooked, steamy and well spiced. The tenders are good portioned and the sauce makes a good companion

Go to Leonard’s right now!

It was a warm summer day and Hollywood and The Chick were walking along Southbank where they ran into a group of food trucks. One of them had the delicious smell of Melbourne Fried Chicken. So they decided to give it a taste.

Here’s how it went down

The order was one of the popcorn fried chicken and a cuban sandwich.

The chicken was bite sized pieces which went well as a good snack however the star of the show was the cuban which meaty and cheesy and saucy all at the same time. Yummm

Hollywood was joining his workmates for a farewell lunch and they all ended up at the Bank on Collins, a place that boasts to have a Melbourne Fried Chicken Burger

The fried chicken burger is marketed as a crispy buttermilk chicken thigh on toasted brioche with jalapeno pepper coleslaw and dijonnaise with fries. Now if anything that sounds like a tornado of flavours if anything

The burger came with two pieces of chicken and looked highly stacked!

To be honest this burger was a disappointment. it lacked really any flavours and the chicken was fried dry. No spices and the marketed sauces didnt do much, just a big bland mess. Hollywood and one of his mates felt really sick for the rest of the day coz of this burger.

Our suggestion is not to go here for fried chicken, give it a big miss and you wont regret it!

It was a long day of travel for Hollywood and on the way home yet another article was out listing more of the best Melbourne Fried Chicken and to Hollywood’s surprise there was a new entry really close to home, Leonard’s House of Love

This was a quick hit and run after a long day at work. This place had a really cool chilled out set up and seemed like a great spot to hang with some friends and kick a few drink backs with some good ol crispy cluckers. Hollywood’s order was The Hot and Glazed Chicken Tenders with Pickles & Chipotle Mayo.

The order consisted of 3 big pieces of tenders and let us tell you that this chicken was truly amazing, hot steamy freshly cooked and spiced right. The mix with the pickles and chipotle mayo only made it even better.

The chicken scene highly advises that you head there and get a piece of heaven right now!
