You need to broaden your horizons my friends.
There’s a whole world of textures to discover!
Pretty sure we have solved the Middle East just no one wants to listen to us.
Was that the naughty chair idea?
Red Rooster is posh KFC.
I was just thinking giant cage match. Everyone that wants to punch on gets thrown into a cage and anyone left over gets relocated to a deserted island.
not even close! They sell completely different products. It’s like saying a car is a posh bike.
Your classic charcoal chicken is better than Portuguese chicken.
Not kidding.

Depends on the KFC though. I’ve had some ridiculously bad chicken from KFCs and some really good stuff. Red Rooster I’ve found to be more consistent in quality.
Ignoring the airport outlet, there is definitely a Red Rooster line in Sydney though, whereas KFC is more spread out.
Red Rooster these days is owned by the same private equity mob that operate Oporto and Chicken Treat
The last time I enjoyed KFC would have been a couple of years ago that followed a Sydney FC game and a few hours post-match of heavy drinking.
The entire meal was then unceremoniously deposited back out of my stomach through my mouth, into the gutter as I was waiting my Night Ride bus home.
It’s way too greasy, and just the smell of the grease is nauseating. Their chips are fucking atrocious, soggy, half cooked, uneavenly seasoned, and the chicken is often dryer than sub-saharan Africa.
I’d rather eat a Hungry Jacks Vegan Whopper than KFC.

Red Rooster Ashfield says bollocks to your red rooster line.
And for some reason we have to RRs in bathurst now.
And the correct answer is Oricco.
I’d take a Hainanese chicken rice over charcoal chicken any day of the week.
(Unsurprisingly, given I generally prefer Asian cuisine over pretty much everything else).

They opened one of these and massively fit out a shop in crows nest. It bombed massively. Now they have / are turning it into an Oporto. Next door is Ogala. 50m up the road is a place called Johnny Bird, another 20m along is El Jannah.
Absolutely mad to start a chicken shop in that kind of environment.
If we could have the rice and accompaniments of Hainanese chicken rice with the meat cooked over charcoal it would be the superior option.
Poached is still good but inferior to a charcoal rotisserie or grill.
Failing that Orrico was as close as you will get to the ideal situation.

I used to work there, the place was an absolute shit show and had the worst management team i’ve ever worked under. Got thrown into the deep end on my first day and the manager at the time delighted in pulling back my food and berating me on my mistakes in front of customers.
