PSA: come before they close on 22nd July, then re-open n September (something about more development happening in the area, and all the pop ups on this side have to leave)
I've heard it's packed during lunch times with people from the new Barangaroo offices coming down, but come at 3pm, and it's nice and quiet and plenty of seats.
Wings (medium heat) with potato salad side-$16 plus blue cheese dressing-$2
I'm actually not a massive fan of fried chicken because it's so unhealthy, and bad for the skin. The only positive I can think about is it's helpful to warm you up on a rainy winter day. The chicken is dry rubbed with the spices, and I opted for medium heat. The dry rubbing did give the chicken a unique Southern-style flavour you can't really find in Sydney, but the skin could have been crunchier. The guy said it wasn't chilli at all, I found it quite a mild chilli, and could appreciate the kick it gave. This is a good level of spiciness for those people whose max tolerance is Kettle chilli chips. The chicken was super hot in temperature, although it didn't look until you got your hands messy and just rip it apart. There's oil/juices inside which splashed out when ripping it, but made the chicken super moist and you can see the steam coming out. There's a piece of bread at the bottom to help soak up the oil.
Had the blue cheese dip (which I though would be more thick in texture, until the menu actually says dressing). It did smell (or stink) like blue cheese, but that's the beauty of it. Helped enhance the flavour of the chicken. The potato salad was super creamy, with perfectly cooked potatoes and nice pieces of apple to make it more refreshing.
Be prepared to use both hands, especially if you ordered the wings (attempted to use cutlery and gave up immediately). So glad they provide tissues and wet wipes to help clean yourself up a bit after haha.
It looks so red? Kinda like tandoori or something.
