Toronto-Based “Better Chicken” Concept Introduces Revolutionary Rotisserie Fried Chicken In Time For New Location Opening
The Chickery, the Toronto-based ‘better chicken’ concept, known for featuring ‘real tasty’ chicken & sides, just opened its first location in Guelph, Ontario. The restaurant is located at 292 Stone Road W in the vibrant neighborhood near Guelph’s Premier Mall and the University of Guelph.
In addition to the newest location, The Chickery currently has three locations open throughout Toronto, ON and one U.S. location in Washington, D.C. The Chickery recently signed a deal with Fransmart, the franchise development company behind the explosive growth of restaurant brands like Five Guys Burgers and Fries and The Halal Guys, to launch its expansion efforts internationally. ”Chicken chains are currently hotter than a spicy wing…,” says CNN Money, and according to CNBC, in 2016 the top restaurant chains added more than 4 times the number of chicken items compared to beef. Industry experts predict that chicken’s popularity is expected to continue to grow as consumers demand healthier, high protein meat. Currently The Chickery has signed franchise partners in Dubai, UAE and Northern California to open additional locations soon.
In response to the popularity and demand for new and inventive chicken offerings, The Chickery has just rolled out a new menu item which combines its fried chicken and its signature rotisserie chicken to create Rotisserie Fried Chicken (RFC), a delicious combination of golden crunch on the outside and a tender, juicy inside.
Rotisserie Fried Chicken, which originated as an after-hours staff favorite, where team members would take fully brined, seasoned, and cooked rotisserie chickens, dredge them in the restaurant’s signature batter, and flash fry them, has now been added to the menu board at all Chickery locations after its runaway success as a “secret” menu item and weeks of refinement in the “test kitchen.”
The Chickery has also added four new dipping sauces to the menu: Garlic Aioli, Chickery Hot, Honey Mustard, and Thai Chili, and has plans to introduce additional healthy and indulgent new menu items in the near future.
“RFC has so much more flavor than regular fried chicken…It’s so good I even want to eat the bones!,” notes Amjad Hantash, The Chickery’s Vice President of Operations in Canada. “Fried chicken is having a renaissance of sorts, and we’re proud to continue to develop the menu as we grow. The introduction of RFC and the new dipping sauces really highlight what The Chickery is best at — good, quality food! ”
The Chickery is a fast casual restaurant on the cutting edge of the increasingly popular better chicken segment, offering real tasty chicken and sides. First and foremost, The Chickery is about premium rotisserie chicken – using all natural, never frozen, farm-fresh, humanely raised rotisserie chicken with no added water or flavoring. We use quality authentic ingredients to create recipes designed by a top chef. Not only is our chicken delicious, but our entire menu consists of options you simply won’t find at other chicken restaurants. For more information, please visit www.thechickery.com.
