Chicken.com

Don’t waste your money!
When it comes to fried chicken, cooked to a greasy sheen (and with added water) there’s no finer purveyor than the now
(Wins awards for the worst named chicken shop).
A particular favourite is the chicken éclairs (or babies arm as they are known locally), a thin fillet in long brioche bun with soggy lettuce garnish. Go when drunk and in slim control of your senses.

When Chicken. com opened around the beginning of the last academic year, the word on everyone’s lips was: «does typing that in on your computer actually take you to their website?» The answer was no, sadly (yes, when you’re a student this sort of thing does matter) and that’s just the first of a few disappointing things about this avoidable fried food joint.
Chicken.Com’s derivative attempt to cash in on the huge demand for fried chicken results in pretty forgettable food. Its one saving grace is the price and like most places on the Bristol Road, it’s an absolute steal. The price is reflected in the quality of the food however and the chicken simply just doesn’t taste very good. You know you’re not expecting fine dining in a KFC, or even Rooster House but at least they have nailed their own recipes.
If you’re in Selly Oak and hankering for some chicken, do yourself a favour and just make the five minute walk to Rooster House.

First thing’s first, Chicken. com, dreadful name. The actual place itself is a direct comparison it seems to the internationally acclaimed brand, KFC.
Without sounding disrespectful in anyway, shape or form, Chicken. com seem to understand their target audience serving similar meals, buckets etc, just as KFC does, but only at cheaper prices.
Granted, the quality of the food takes a hit, but nonetheless, it does a job. The chicken can be slightly greasy at times, but then again that comes with the territory of fast food joints.
A downfall of this place however would be the service. Everything else seems A-​OK, but ordering became a long, drawn out process due to misunderstandings and it just wasn’t the greatest.
Regardless of this however, if you’re peckish, don’t hesitate to pop in to Chicken. com, although I’m sure you could find somewhere else to go.
