Chicken Station

i entered this establishment with the hope that it would pass my standards but it was packed i had to wait 20 full minutes until i got the food and the chips was cold and the chicken was pink absolutely horrible

Amazing food, always fresh never had any problems. The shop itself is nearly always busy
so i normally do a takeaway/delivery

This is our regular, food is usually always good. Pizzas are fresh and tasty. Only issue is the price keeps going up, which is understandable due to the climate but to charge 20p for their chilli sause is a bit over the top! I asked for a bottle of their sauce and they expect you to pay £10! That's double the price of a Nandos peri peri - bonkers. Also the chicken in the burgers have drastically shrank, and the chicken wings are all one type now the not so good type 🍗.

I love this place i always order here if I'm in town, really good price and excellent food, i just alwys have trouble with the phone order, is from a motnh that i always callafter 17 pm and the call is not even going, can you please update your phone number if is changed. Appreciate it :)

I have been through a lot of takeout places in Manchester and this place has great food and service the chicken tastes great to be honest I was expecting your run of the mill usual takeaway where the chicken is dry and doesn’t taste that good but I was pleasantly surprised when I first ate it and the pricing is actually quite cheap for the quality of the chicken

Not a bad chicken house ..wide variety of chicken meals to choose from.....it used to be cash only ...but not sure if it takes card now ..the prices are quite reasonable..food is exelent..not had a problem with the food ...it can get quite busy tho with the college being near by aswell............

Driving past the shop I noticed it was empty which was a shock as it is always packed to the door. Decided I would call in. The shop was mostly tidy except for one table that was piled high with leftovers and packaging that nobody had moved. The customers who left it there should have been those who removed it in the first place.

While in the shop a call came through for a delivery request to Oldham, for those not in the know Oldham is a haven for fried chicken places so this speaks volumes for Chicken Station. The guy told me that many people travel long distances to come here for their Massala Fish so maybe it's one to try next time.

Feeling hungry I ordered a spicy chicken burger, spicy wings, 2 piece chicken. The staff were very friendly and chatty. Although they were busy with delivery orders they were still talkative and pleasant. The golden chunks were glistening through the glass and there was mounds of crispy goodness ready to be devoured and enjoyed by the hungry people of the area. My food came very fast and I was on my way.

🔶 Spicy Chicken Burger (Dipped)

I have come to realise that in this area unless you ask for your spicy #burger to be dipped in the sauce then you will only get a splash on the top. In this area it is known as a 'Spicy Dipped Burger'.

Upon getting home this food was still hot, the burger was hefty, the fillet was a good size the bun was holding up very well, the coating was thick and sticking well to that batter. There was ample lettuce and just enough mayo. On the very first bite that burger took me to some of the best places I've visited (Miami's/Florida's) the sauce was so good it was spicy but not over the top. I picked up on cayenne, massala and paprika it wasn't salty or sweet but smooth and fiery. The chicken was really juicy and tender and the batter was light and still had some texture to it. If that bun would of been toasted this would be sensational.

🏆9/10

🔶 2 Piece Chicken(Breast/Thigh)

The #chicken had a really thin coating of batter, it was still hot and fresh. The meat was so juicy and tender it just fell of the bone. The crispy light coating has a massala flavour like I have not tasted before on fried chicken and I have to say its a winning recipe. They were of an average size but they packed so much flavour.

🏆8.5/10

🔶 Spicy Wings

The #wings wings although they were very small they had a very crispy and crunchy light batter. They had that same massala flavour but they had a more peppery kick. Again super soft, tender and meat fell right off the bone.

🏆7.5/10

Overall I can see why this place is always so very busy. I recommend the place and if you're into Desi/Massala style flavours you will not be disappointed.

The place is small and little old now but it's quaint. The food was nice, the price is good for what you get and the service was fast. Ordered the zinger burger meal with some wings on the side. Would definitely go again.
