Krunchy Fried Chicken

I’ve got to say the best thing about Krunchy Fried Chicken is that it led me to read its review on Unilocal,by the excellent Emma-​Louise, who provides us all with the vital information that there is a Chicken Shop out there called CHORLEY FRIED CHICKEN! Absolutely hilarious. For those of you not from Manchester, Chorley is a little not-​so-​picturesque suburban village of Manchester, which is certainly not famed for its fried chicken making skills. The name then, mocks those hilarious attempts of chicken shops t change KFC as little as they can, Kansas fried chicken being a popular one. I will visit CHORLEY fried chicken as soon as I get the chance!
I feel this is also the perfect opportunity to mention another excellent take-​away name, this one in Oldham, a kebab shop called McAbduls.
So to the chicken. I think Emma-​Louises two starts are a little low. I thought the meal from here was nothing special, but I also had no complaints. Chicken was crispy, chips were hot, salad was fresh, drinks were fine. Soggyness, coldness, oldness and flatness of drink are such common occurrences in the chicken shops of Manchester that I must give this place three stars merely for avoiding them.

For many years now I’ve been attempting to count the number of KFC mimicries I’ve seen throughout the North West. Allen’s Fried Chicken, Krispy Fried Chicken, Southern Fried Chicken, Chicken Cottage, and my ultimate favourite, Chorley Fried Chicken. CHORLEY FRIED CHICKEN.
Ahem. Anyway, as a witness to an inebriated fried chicken grab (myself going for the fries as per usual), I thought it only fair to give Krunchy a review. I can’t quite figure out if Krunchy is a chain as they seem to be popping up round every corner. What to say? It’s a late night chicken outlet. The fries were soggy (no — that’s a plus point for me, I love soggy chips, it’s a running joke in our family), it’s best avoided unless you’ve had a skinful, my chicken-​munching colleagues pointed to a certain oiliness in the batter (they didn’t word it so delicately) but all in all, it’s what you want at 3am.
There’s… there’s little more that I can wring from that. I feel somewhat futile. Krunchy Fried Chicken. For your… uh… convenience.
