Amazing food. Staff is friendly. Location makes it difficult to get to though, especially if you have a car. There are some great combos and some great specials offered here. Chicken licken is especially good if you are on a budget, as I pretty much always am XD. The mini sliders are great with some chips and I especially enjoy the R95 combo where you get 4 sliders, 2 chips, 12 wings. That really filled me up and for less than most meals half that size. P.S I suggest the hot wings

I had a great experience at this location! Even though it’s surrounded by several other fast-food outlets, this specific branch was not crowded, making for a very calm and pleasant visit. The first thing I noticed was how clean and inviting the seating area was. It’s well-maintained, which isn’t always the case with busy fast-food spots. As for the food—it was spot on. My order was served fresh and incredibly crispy, exactly what you want from Chicken Licken. If you’re looking for your hot chicken fix without the long queues and chaotic atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go. I’ll be back for sure!

Hey go for it. This fast food chicken only restaurant is a must go if you are hungry and have a craving for great flavoured wings. They're a little spicy but so tasty, your baby will give up it's mother's breasts for these wings. Parking is... non-existent so phone in the order and have your wife run in to collect while you're idling outside... unless she's driving

Food prep is pretty fast. Meals are good and there's spacious seating upstairs if you'd like to sit down and have your meal there.

The menu is sometimes difficult to figure out. Pictures are either wings or chicken pieces but you can't always see what it is.

Excellent service from ok staff. They could have more customer enthusiasm but no qualms here, they even gave me my meal after I lost my receipt.
