Chicken worth
crossing town for.
Chicken on the bone, wings, strips and the wedges people ask for by name — fried to order at 221 King Cross Road, Halifax. Walk in, or ring ahead and collect on your way past.
Build your box
Pick the chicken, a side, and something after. It builds your box as you go — then ring it through, or send it over so a bigger order is written down rather than reeled off on the phone.
Good fried chicken is not a thirty-second job. Getting it cooked through and crisp takes the time it takes, so give it a few minutes at the counter. There are pizzas on the board as well, for anyone in the house who will not touch chicken.
Same corner. Same recipe.
A long-standing takeaway on the same King Cross corner, doing one thing and doing it properly. Nothing has been reinvented, and nobody has asked for it to be — takeaways come and go along that road, and this one stayed.
Calderdale Council looked round the kitchen in March 2024 and gave it five out of five for food hygiene. That is the top rating, and it is the one thing worth checking before you buy fried chicken anywhere.
