Chicago Chicken City — Restaurant in Johor

2 Piece Chicken Meal Combo = RM20.95 Comes with 2 Pieces of Chicken, Sides, 1 Drink No Additional Service Charge

This is a Fried Chicken Fast Food Outlet, that is Brightly Coloured, Big, Spacious and Cleanly Maintained. The Staffs are Friendly and Bubbly and they even greeted and welcomed me right at the Entrance.

Unlimited Free Refills of Drink and a Slight Initial Goof Up.

Their Soft Drinks are Unlimited Free Flow from their Drink Dispenser which is such a Rarity in Today's Fast Food Outlets.

There was an Initial Goof Up as the Machine only dispensed Carbonated Water. Perhaps the Staffs noticed when I was having trouble, it was swiftly rectified without me needing to remind them.

2 Piece Chicken Meal Combo = RM20.95 Comes with 2 Pieces of Chicken, Sides, 1 Drink

You have a Choice of Original or Spicy and I chose 1 of each to try. I don't know if I was lucky or not but the pieces they gave me that day were Huge!

Not counting the Large Breast Piece that I got, I thought even their Drummy was Larger and Meaty compared to alot of other Fried Chicken Outlets.

Original Fried Chicken

Batter and Skin is the Thickish Type, similar to SG KFC's Crispy Version. There is a Nice Saltish Seasoning Aroma that permeates the Whole Chicken. This Seasoning smells and tastes somewhat like some Instant Noodle Seasoning Pack that I think i've eaten before and not in a Bad Way.

This was a Huge Big Fat Meaty Piece I got and even though it was Breast Meat, it was so Juicy to the Bite. Not Overly Oily, this Fried Chicken does not drip oil all over the place. Also Not Overly Salty, and Not Overly Chickeny, the Salted Seasoning they used remained throughout the Fried Chicken and never overstayed its welcome.

This is a Very Decent Tasting Fried Chicken that definitely punches above its Weight Level.

Spicy Fried Chicken

I got a Chicken Drummy for the Spicy Version and although normally people don't like Drummy or Wings because they're considered Smaller Cuts, I am impressed with how Meaty this Drummy was.

It uses the Same Salted Seasoning Base as their Original, but this time there is a Slight Hit of Spiciness. Its not our SG McSpicy type of Spicy, but is much more Mild and eases you in comfortably instead of trying to slap you in the face. Not bad tasting.

Sides: Mashed Potato and Coleslaw

For Sides, you can actually have a Choice of either Fried Rice or Mash Potato/Coleslaw Combo and I chose the Latter.

The Mashed Potato has a Similar Taste Profile to most other Fast Food offerings. Decent and Acceptable. I thought the Brown Sauce felt Slightly Thicker and Viscous. If you enjoy KFC type of Mashed Potato, you'll probably like this too.

Coleslaw was Very Standard and Acceptable and didn't have a Raw Veggie Taste. I prefer this one because I thought it has a Slightly More Veggie Sweetness with Bigger Pieces of Veggies to crunch compared to SG KFC version which is usually Diced into Small Bits. Again, if you are ok with KFC type of Coleslaw, you'll probably like this too.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At a Total Combined Price of RM20.95 (S$6.32) for a Standard 2-Piece Chicken Meal, this is more Affordable than KFC's 2-Piece Meal at S$9.80 especially when this place offers Unlimited Free Drink Refills.

Truth be told, I did not have any High Expectations when I first stepped into this place, but many things just impressed me very much.

The Quality of Fried Chicken is Decent and Big, Fat, Meaty and Juicy. Maybe I was lucky that day, but the Pieces I got were really Big and Solid. It was a Very Satisfying Meal and I never felt any Oily Jelak.

What impressed me even more were the Staffs who were really Bubbly, Friendly and Welcoming. Even though there was an Initial Goof Up with the Drink Dispenser, I was happy that it was rectified quickly without me reminding them. To me, this tells me that the Staffs are observant and quick to rectify issues.

Walked past many times and hesitated to try, finally tried and regret not trying it earlier! Ordered takeaway the 3 piece chicken set and burger crispy combo, we tried the fries when we were still at the shop as it was finger licking good, the fries is those similar to western countries, thick fries with tastable of real potato, it was so nice that we even ordered another ala carte fries back. We ate finish the fries even before reaching the carpark! The burger was another unexpected awesome item, just look at the size of patty! Not to mention the taste is nicer than other fast food chains, the patty is crispy, less on the skin/batter and the taste is unique. With it size, definitely enough to fill your stomach or can even be shared with 2person for a light meal. In fact we loved the burger more than then the fried chicken. The fries chicken is also less on the batter/skin and we felt it's nicer than other fast food chains too. They do also served free flow...

Wonder if I was at a different restaurant from the good reviews... Or did I not try their best menu? Ordered their 2pcs chicken set and was disappointed 😔 The chicken was nothing to shout out about and the sides were quite horrendous. The salad tasted quite raw with overly thick mayonnaise, we did not finish that. Had mashed potato which reminded me of instant ones made from powder. Chicken was just alright. Service wise was not very friendly and staff was not flexible in allowing a change of soft drinks to Milo (even offering it with top up would have been fine)... The restaurant was pretty empty at lunchtime yet some of the tables were still not cleared. Will not recommend and will not...
