Chicken or choock whatever you call it, they love it!

One thing I have noticed since I arrived in Australia (4 months ago) is that they really do love their chicken. It took me pointing it out and counting how many chicken places there are to show the Archeologist this point.
Not that I have anything against chicken, I love it! Now let me run it through for you...

1. Red Rooster
Sorry to all the others but I think that this is the best one. They do roast chicken that you can buy whole or in bits, they also do burgers, fish, chips etc. Their selling point is that it's roasted for 50 mins and marinaded (drool..) they also promote that they are 100% Australian made and owned.Think of them as the MacDonalds of Chicken. They have some very funny commercials:



2. Choocks
Not as prelevant as number 1 but it tastes good. They give you a choice of either fried or roasted and can come as a full roast dinner (potatoes, gravy and peas)

3. Chicken Treat
Competes with number 1 but we feel that they roast the chicken for too long, making it drier and we also think that they must source their chickens from the midget chicken farms, they are so small! Their mascot is an obese wobbly chicken, which really says something:








4. KFC
Everyone knows KFC so I won't bother describing. They sponsor a lot of the Cricket here.

5. MacDonalds
Now I know what you're thinking "MacDonalds do burgers not just chicken!" but that's where you're wrong, they have just introduced a whole seperate side of the menu with chicken. You can choose either seared or crispy and with 5 different toppings I'd say that was a pretty big choice for chicken!

So, I know that's not exactly chicken crazy but they are more frequent on the highways than MacDonalds and when you go to the mall, KFC and Red Rooster have the longest queues. No one has yet managed to explain why the Australians love their chicken this much, but I'm not complaining! Nothing better than a roast chicken taken to the beach to watch the sun set!
