About Allen's Fried Chicken
Allen's Fried Chicken is a fried chicken takeaway at 327 Wilmslow Rd in Manchester, open daily in the evenings and serving until around 4am, which makes it a stop for late-night orders. The menu centres on chicken and chips, with chicken strip meals and a triple chicken fillet meal alongside. The family bucket brings together chicken pieces, spicy wings and tenders in one order. Chicken burgers come in plain and spicy versions, and chicken gravy is on the menu too. For something sweet, the kitchen makes milkshakes, including a Ferrero Rocher one, and also serves ice cream.

Customer Review Summary
The family bucket is the draw, with reviewers describing a generous haul of chicken pieces, spicy wings and tenders that came hot, crispy and not oily. Chicken strip meals and popcorn chicken also earn praise, and a couple of reviewers value the place as a late night option. Gravy divides opinion: one calls it beautiful, another nice but very herby, and others liken it to cigarette ash gloop. Complaints about the chicken are specific. One long-time customer got a triple chicken fillet meal so dry it broke rather than tore, another reports a fishy taste, and a burger fillet was described as burned and hard to chew. One reviewer reports a dark hair in a burger. Others note a milkshake with a hint of mint despite an allergy, a spilled milkshake in the bag, and the wrong ice cream flavour. Even so, one reviewer whose order was amended by phone, after a curt exchange, received everything perfectly.

“I ordered chicken burger for takeout but the chicken was not edible at all, it was look like burned and bit hard to chew but they still give to the customer instead of throwing it. Very disappointed ☹️ waste of money 💰”

“Had a takeaway family bucket with chicken pieces, spicy wings, and tenders. Really enjoyed those. Found them crispy and not oily. Hot too. The chicken gravy was nice, but it's very herby so won't be to everyone's taste. I would order again.”
- Holly Rogers
“VILE! Do not come here. Dark Hair found in burger. this place needs to be shut down asap for hygiene how it is still open baffles me. I will be reporting this further. To be served gravy, like I did was criminal.”
- Bee Montana
“Ordered this real late at night as not many places open and you know what I can't complain about it! 2x 3 chicken strip meals for £8 or something and the strips were good. Decent amount of chips and 2 gravy and 2 drinks. It's now gone up a bit in price.”
- Jonty Lumley
“Best food ever four years later, we’re still thinking about it. Can’t wait to go back. Gravy is beautiful. Doesn’t take like cigarettes at all … At least not all the time xxx”
