Halal Reviews for Good Friend Chicken Leicester Square

Finally tried the viral chicken popcorn from Ji Chicken and it genuinely lives up to the hype! The chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside, cooked to perfection with that addictively crunchy texture. They’ve got loads of seasoning options to choose from, I went for the plum one and it was just right. The shop also serves loads of other chicken items and seafood along with wide variety of milk-teas and drinks, but I only tried the popcorn chicken this time. The place is quite small and always busy (which says a lot about how popular it is), so be ready to wait a little. The portion size is small to decent for £7, and yes, a bit pricey, but honestly the flavour, crunch, and freshness make it worth it. Definitely a must-try if you’re visiting Chinatown! I’m absolutely going back to try more next time!

Not the biggest of shops but it was very busy inside and out and nonetheless and you can see why, they do all different types of chicken from a battered large chicken breast that has been flattened to popcorn chicken which seems to be the most popular. They fill up a small bag with a decent size portion of popcorn chicken and then have about eight different seasonings you can put on and then they shake it up in the bag and give you a long toothpick/fork to eat it with on the Go, tasted absolutely delicious.

Best fried chicken I’ve ever had! I tried it with the seaweed seasoning and it slapped! The portion was also decent for the price! I wish I could go back, this is definitely the first food spot I’d hit if I came to London.

Tasty, juicy chicken. But is it worth 7.50 quid for a small bag? No. They are really milking the hype, well played. The end.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. Tried the crispy chicken breast with plum salt and it was delicious. Tender and juicy, brought me back to my Taiwan trip. Gave it 4 stars because of the chaos inside, crowd management could be better. But still, I'd go back!
