Chick ’n’ Sours devotees, we come bearing good news. After sadly shutting its two remaining London restaurants earlier this year, the Korean-inspired fried chicken brand is returning with a new residency in the capital. The chicken shop will be landing at Big Chill, a bar in King’s Cross.
After closing the two restaurants earlier this year, Chick ’n’ Sours has been on the road all summer, hitting up festivals and operating pop-ups. Now ready to settle down again, the brand has chosen Big Chill – which itself started out life as a music festival in Herefordshire. Between 1994 and 2011 Big Chill festival hosted the likes of Massive Attack and Lily Allen, and it opened a London bar in 2004.
Chick ’n’ Sours was actually thought up at a music fest. Its founders’ fried chicken eureka moment was at Latitude in 2010, and the website proudly claims: ‘Born at a festival, raised on good times.’
Londoners can get their Chick ’n’ Sours kick at Big Chill from September 17, where the residency will be serving up the brand’s classics: crispy chicken tenders with seaweed ‘crack’ seasoning, sweet and spicy disco wings, smacked and salted bang bang cucumbers and more.
Big Chill King’s Cross, 257-259 Pentonville Rd, N1 9NL.
The best fried chicken in London, according to Time Out.
