Chickens On The Parade

Chicken on its own = awesome. Chips on their own = awesome. So chicken + chips (should) = AWESOMESAUCE.
It’s one of my fave junk/​take out foods ever, yet I won’t go back to Chickens on the Parade for my fix, unfortunately.
The space is airy and light and modern and clean, but I was pretty disappointed with the chicken and chips I got here. The gravy just wasn’t that amazing and the chips were decidedly average. Sadface. On the upside, service was quick and friendly and the chicken was pretty good.

If you’re in the mood for something quick without any fuss or fanciness, this is definitely the place to go! The menu echoes that of the traditional Aussie chicken shop, with a little more (and a much nicer décor).
Chickens On The Parade source all of their chicken from Lilydale, a free range chicken farm, so you’ll have some comfort in knowing that your food wasn’t boxed up in a cage before it got turned into dinner. All of their chicken tastes great, and I honestly do think that the difference is noticeable between caged and free range chickens, with the latter being much tastier.
The chicken schnitzel burger is a big burger you have to eat with both hands — the way they should be made! The chicken schnitzel hot pack is a knockout — it’s considerably large, includes hot chips and veggies (because you gotta have veggies somewhere in your diet, right?) and, quite honestly, tastes incredible. The only disappointment I’ve had with this meal is with myself for not being able to finish it in one sitting.
The staff is always warm and friendly, and they never keep you waiting long for your meal. This place is perfect for a quick or casual meal.

Quite a decent chicken shop.
They sell Jones’ Soda, which a definite winner for me!
They have the best chips on The Parade as well!
I’ve eaten plenty of times from there, and my go to meal is always the chicken schnitzel pack, with gravy of course.
They are even kind enough to give you the schnitzel PRE-​CUT!!!
Good solid place for lunch or an easy dinner.
