La Rotisserie (Brisbane)

Posted on July 3, 2016

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

Huxtaburger – Chicken Tenders

Leave a comment

Posted on June 1, 2016

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

Homemade Kung Pao Chicken

A move a way from traditional crispy fried we have decided to shed a bit of light on one of our favorite Melbourne Fried Chicken dishes, Kung Pao Chicken made by The Chick

While the chicken is not deep fried it is stir fried, so technically we are all over this one and why wouldn’t be? It has fried chicken, it has nuts, and is full of ginger, garlic, chilis, and sichuan peppercorns…BOOM!

The chick has amazing wok stir fry skills…KAPOW!!

This dish keeps you coming back for more and more. The heat and spices creep on you from the first bite and keep building up like no tomorrow and to add to that the sichuan peppercorns make your mouth go numb and number.

Overall this is a great dish that we have regularly at Hollywood and The Chick’s household

It was gonna be a messy day for Hollywood’s bucks so the boys had to start off the right way, with lots and lots of Melbourne Fried Chicken.

The Chicken Scene is no stranger to Parlour Diner. This place rocks on like nobody’s business. Their chicken pieces are huge and well spiced and flavored. They are breast pieces and when mixed their chipotle mayo the combination is deadly

It was a warm sunny day and the chicken scene team were craving some Melbourne Fried Chicken crunchy goodness. It was time to sample the new buzz in town, Magic Mountain

We just went for a small sample of the crunchy fried chicken ribs

This chicken was really crunchy, might quite possibly the crunchiest we have had yet. It was an interesting flavor as some shrimp paste goes into the coating. It was also surrounded with spices and leaves. The blend of flavors was superb and reminded us of an Asian fusion style of Melbourne Fried Chicken.

We would definitely recommend checking Magic Mountain out. Give it a go if you want some crunchy goodness!

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!

NeNe Chicken

Hollywood and the gang were going to see Wu Tang and needed a good base in their bellies before all the madness that was to follow. Introducting NeNe Chicken, our latest Melbourne Fried Chicken review

We ended up ordering the corn and chips as sides and a mix of the garlic chicken and the bulgogi fried chicken

The chicken was the usual Korean style that was dipped in sauces. The garlic one had an interesting flavor while the bulgogi was just another version of the spicy. The pieces were average size but the overall flavor was average Korean style fired chicken. It was all hot, fresh and good however nothing really special

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
