About House Of Chicken
House Of Chicken is a Portuguese restaurant on Whaddon Wy in Milton Keynes, serving guests since it opened on 12 February 2016. The kitchen cooks chicken over coals on a spit, and the half chicken comes with a homemade secret sauce. Chorizo and black pudding sit on the menu alongside steak and chicken wings, and pastel de nata is also listed. Portuguese beer is served. A Portuguese shop at the back sells cheese and wine, so guests can buy them on the same visit. The owners are on hand to welcome diners and introduce the Portuguese dishes and drinks.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the charcoal-grilled half chicken, described as succulent, not dry, and beautifully salty and garlicky, with one saying it blows Nando's out of the water and another noting a takeaway order stayed hot and tender at home. Close behind are the chorizo, black pudding, steak and chicken wings, plus the rice, the fish cake and the pastel de nata, with a homemade dessert also praised. Portions are called very generous, and the owners get repeated credit for being friendly, introducing diners to Portuguese dishes and drinks, and giving the place a family feel like a restaurant in Portugal. Several also mention the Portuguese shop at the back, where one left with cheese and wine. The only caution comes from one reviewer who advises booking in advance, which they put down to how good the food is. One diner, given a table for two hours, found the owner accommodating throughout.

“Amazing grilled chicken , I collected my order on a busy Saturday and got home and it was still hot and tasty and tender and succulent , so yes the best I've had in Milton Keynes and it's a genuine Portuguese resteraunt so you can sit down for casual dinning.”

“Oh my God, the food was amazing and as soon as I took the first bite of the half chicken, I knew i would be a regular customer. It's all home made with their own secret source that is put on the chicken, and it blows nandos out of the water and a hell of a lot cheaper..the chicken was succulent and not dry. The only advise is to book in advance, and that is a reflection on how amazing the food is..x”

“The staff members are very polite and kind. The service was amazing. The food was delicious, especially the rice. The steak that I ordered was made perfectly. And finally, the homemade dessert was one of the best desserts I ever tried. I would recommend going here.”

“Came in for a delicious meal the other day. The chicken is beautifully salty and garlicky. Cooked over coals on a spit. Excellently cooked by one of the owners. The chap who welcomed us in and served us is incredible friendly and helped us choose our meal. We have the chorizo, the black pudding, steak and chicken wings. All were delicious. This place is great and well worth a visit!”
