Winner Winner Courtenay Place

I swear I’ll never go to KFC again, not when Winner Winner (chicken dinner) is this close by. The hot dipped chicken was just spicy enough and mega-tasty, but I might try ‘proper hot’ next time. I love that they don’t drown their food in sauce either, infusing their batter with the desired amount of spice instead. This food was SO good, I’m already thinking about a return trip. PS: The kid’s meals are just the right size too, and the tater tots are awesome. UPDATE: We got the raspberry passion fruit pie, the S’mores pie, and the banoffee pie, and they are so fresh and delicious. This place is dangerous haha! UPDATE UPDATE: I went back the next day and brought the whole clan this time. My family loved their food (beet salad, yum, rotisserie chicken, delish), but they went nuts over the banoffee pie, the raspberry/passionfruit pie (the merengue is fantastic), and the S'mores pie. Meanwhile, as promised, I had the 'proper hot' chicken, which wasn't as painful as I was anticipating. It's just sprinkled with a lot of chili flakes and chili oil, which adds a bit more kick, but actually makes the chicken a bit messier in general. I think I'll usually stick to the hot dipped variant, just because it's neater and just as flavorful. This is not a knock, just a preference.

Pretty good chicken, lovely crisp coating but the seasoning wasn't consistent, as though they missed half the chicken with the salt. Fries with cheese & gravy on were good. Weird having the sides all the way on the right hand side of the menu, I'd have loved to try their mac & cheese but I didn't see it until after I had ordered.
