JI The Chicken Shop Leicester

We visited here on the recommendation of a popular food vlogger. We ordered a chicken breast meal and molten cheese chicken meal and a side of tofu. The tofu was nicely cooked. The molten cheese was not as gooey as I had expected, the edges were super tough and we had to leave it as we just couldn't break it to even put it into our mouths. The chicken breast was absolutely massive! The coating was lovely but again the actual chicken was a little chewy and of a rubbery texture. The range of seasonings were something new and unique, and each had a very distinct flavour, all very yummy. I would recommend the kimchi and plum seasonings.The staff were friendly, helpful, and gave recommendations. The chips' portions with the meals were big and tasted very fresh and crispy. We just opted for canned drinks.

I had volcanos chicken and chicken breast with plum and chilli seasoning, it was amazing, I thought it was abit pricey but portion size and flavour made up for it. Definitely a must try

Just driving back from going here and wow! Absolutely Incredible!! The flavour was amazing and the staff were so friendly and accommodating when we asked about different flavours they let us try before we committed to it!! An absolute bargain, you get so much for your money. Will definitely be back

So let’s address the 4 stars. It’s a chicken shop not Heston’s but it’s decent and we were there on a Sunday so it wasn’t going to be buzzin.Service. Could fault it. The dude behind the counter knew his stuff and happily recommended seasoning combinations which was cool.We ordered more than we needed. We were thinking oh it’ll be just a small bag of popcorn chicken and a few fries. No way man!! Cracking big bag of popcorn chicken (plain cause the kid don’t like spice), fries and a 7up. I had a volcano cheese chicken, plum fries and a hazelnut bubble tea. Not my standard approach but I wasn’t sure if we’d come back another time so had a bubble to go the hole hog.Absolutely rammed with cheese and plenty of kimchi seasoning. Spot on. I’m stuffed.Oh and might have impulse bought karage chicken. Mistake only from the point of view I had absolutely no chance of eating it all on the plus side it was mega!!!On a side note I’m not sure who was working today but the two dudes serving were super sweet and shared a bowl of mango and sweet treats for my daughter. Proper sweet touch and honestly decent chaps for preparing, cooking and serving our nosh.

Fantastic food, superb service and for a bargain price.We've visited the shop in London several times, but think Leicester might have them beat on taste and definitely have them beat on service.

I always come back for chicken wings. They’re crispy and flavorful on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside, just like perfect chicken wings should be. Ten wings for 6£, I think it’s ok considering the quality of the what you get. Friendly service every time.

Just picked up my order, and although I have to drive a further 10 mins to home, my order was still hot and super crispy!!!!Chicken wings well seasoned and has the most amazing crunch.

Food was very affordable considering the portion of the food. The chicken skin was very crunchy. The gizzard was delicious. The chicken was juicy inside and crunchy outside. The staff are very friendly. There is nothing that I could fault them.
