About Pickin Chickin

Pickin Chickin is a takeaway in Halifax with a chicken shop focus, found at 221 King Cross Rd. Orders go through the counter and are made fresh, so customers wait briefly, and a few seats inside give them somewhere to sit until the food is ready. Wedges come with garlic mayo, and the menu also lists a cheeseburger and a double cheeseburger served with chips. Payment is cash only, and cash points are a minute's walk away on the street for anyone who needs to withdraw first. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. Friday brings deals.

Customer Review Summary

Wedges are the clear draw, praised repeatedly as fresh and "to die for", with one reviewer pairing them with garlic mayo and another noting a short wait for a fresh batch. Fried chicken comes close behind, with long-standing regulars saying they have been coming for decades and one calling it far better than any other chicken they have tasted. A double cheeseburger with chips also earns a favourable mention. Several describe friendly staff and fair prices, and one mentions good deals on Fridays. A minority of reviewers say quality has slipped. One found the chicken dried up and tasteless like rubber, and the wedges not what they used to be. Another called a half pound cheeseburger dry and tasteless, with a tiny portion of fries containing scraggy bits, and alleges overcharging, advising others to ask for an itemised receipt. A third reports a birthday order that arrived cold and stale.
