Pickin Chickin

Pickin' Chickin' on King Cross Road is one of Halifax's most enduring independent chicken shops, trading on this busy arterial for over thirty years. The menu centres on whole and portioned chicken with a selection of potato wedges served with dips — chilli, bolognese, curry, and coleslaw among others — alongside chicken wings, fillet burgers, and sides. The wedge-and-dip combination has become the kitchen's calling card, earning specific mentions in reviews above almost anything else on the menu. With a Google average of 4.4 from 291 reviews and a 5.0 on TripAdvisor, the reputation is among the strongest of any fried chicken shop in the HX1 postcode. Staff are noted as quick and efficient. King Cross Road is a densely populated arterial running south from Halifax town centre, and Pickin' Chickin' has served its community here for three decades. Open seven days.
