Looming above the front of this Morningside takeaway joint (note: they have an outlet in Onehunga too) is a sign with “Chic’en Eats” written ever-so-slightly-too-small in Curlz MT typeface, alongside an affable-looking chicken. Depending on your personality, you’ll either be thoroughly deterred or totally charmed by this unorthodox logo — but either way, we implore you to go in and order something. Here, they do fiery chicken breast and skin-on thigh meat, battered and fried so that its crust is consistently craggy and deep red, but never oily. Choose from four spice levels (we like “cluckin’ hot”). This fried chicken is served, as in Nashville, alongside biscuits or waffles, or between fluffy brioche buns with pickles and tangy comeback sauce. All of which is sensational and impressively affordable — portions are tremendous and yet nothing costs more than $18.
