Dixy Chicken

I watch Channel Five quite a bit. I know its overwhelmingly rubbish but the batteries in my remote have gone and i haven’t gotten around to getting new ones so i’m stuck with it until i can be arsed to go to Poundstretcher and get a multipack of those crappy ones that only last a day or two each but they cost a quid for 20 so hey ho. i saw this program on Five the other day where this bird was in love with her VW Beetle. I don’t mean just fond of it — no — she actually had how’s yer father with it and all. That’s the kind of exploitation programming you can find on that poor excuse for a fifth terrestrial channel when you flick over any night after 9pm. if you can change the channel of course. if Five’s well-​researched reportage is anything to go by, it stands to reason that there are scores of people out there that enjoy every single last perversion your twisted little mind can imagine. such as getting off on being glued to the bog on a Sunday morning with excruciating diarrhea that leaves your nipsy feeling like you have sat on a red hot poker. if you are one of these sick puppies, and i could be forgiven for thinking you are if you have bothered to read thus far, get yourself down to Dixy Chicken for a couple of pieces of their finest and the next morning you will be in heaven. don’t thank me.

Oh gosh, I’d completely overlooked Dixy Chicken for some time, but realised that it certainly deserved a mention. It’s not so much a regular choice of mine, since I’ve not been the happier side of tipsy in a while, but it sure is one of the *best places to go for drunk food.
I always used to get the same, some southern fried chicken wings, chips and a world of mayo. And, all the salt. Yep, thems were the days. It’s certainly no gourmet dining but the chaps in there were always lovely, patient (especially in dealing with drunkards like myself et al.) and the prices are filthy cheap.
It certainly isn’t the healthy option but there’s nothing quite like it. Except, there sort of is, all along the same street. Even so, it was always a Dixy’s for me.
*best — as in, the ‘bad is good’ style of best. A guilty pleasure, if you will.

I’m about to refer to Dixy Chicken as ‘good’. I want to be clear up front that I mean this in an ‘it’s 2am and I’ve had enough beer to starve all notions of fruit or toast from my system’ sort of way.
Here we go: Dixy Chicken is good. Essentially it’s KFC, but open at stupid o’clock and not tucked away miles from LS1. It’s not quite as tasty as KFC, but in the small hours you’re unlikely to notice. As a bonus, they have chilli sauce for your chips.
Dixie Chicken is good enough that, when fast food hunger pangs have struck, I’ve eaten it during the day. There, I’ve said it.

I am completely with Charlotte on this one! After a night out, too much to drink, need a little grease to settle your stomach and quench those munchies, Dixy’s is your place!
After a night out at Gatecrasher I came here for a much-​needed chicken burger, maybe I was a little drunk, but it tasted amazing from what I can remember! Exactly what I needed. Hmm I’m hungry now and its 12.13, maybe a quick bite for lunch? NO! That’s what’s wrong with this place; it is only acceptable to eat here after a night out. In my eyes it is just wrong to come here for lunch, or dinner etc. It’s so greasy and no body should be subject to it! But when your drinking alcohol well you’re already doing yourself some harm so why not go all out!
Easy to find and easy to see when you’re a bit blurry eyed, this place is perfect for a cheap and quick bite to eat post midnight.

Ok, my hands are up, held high, I have only eaten a Dixy Chicken when I have consumed unhealthy amounts of red wine! All I know is that when I have bitten into my chicken fillet meal it has tasted like heaven has entered my mouth in fatty chicken form!!!
Essential it is a cheap ripoff of KFC! The interior is in bright primary colours like KFC and a little worn. It generally appears a little dodgy in the light of day but most KFC’s do nowadays anyhow!
It is greasy but so good! They provide meals literally ripped off from the KFC menu including a chicken burger which I am urging for now just talking about it!
If you like your fastfood after a night out drop into Dixy Chicken for some greasy goodness. It is far from healthy but cheap and very self indulgent. Srcrummmmyy!
