Chicken Kitchen

What is Chicken Kitchen? Tucked into Wexford Plaza at 2086 Lawrence Avenue East near Warden, Chicken Kitchen is a no-frills Scarborough staple dedicated entirely to fresh, hand-crafted fried chicken. Born in Scarborough in 2016 before growing across the east end, this unassuming strip-mall counter keeps things straightforward with bright overhead lighting, minimal casual seating, and an open kitchen built for high-volume takeout.

Chicken Kitchen Menu & What to Order The kitchen relies on 100% HMA-certified halal Grade A poultry that is hand-cut, marinated for up to twelve hours, and double-breaded in a peppery seasoning before frying to order in canola oil. Go for the classic bone-in fried chicken combos served with golden biscuits and Cajun fries, or order the crowd-pleasing Mac & Chick, a carb-loaded bowl of creamy macaroni and cheese topped with chopped crispy chicken. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich on ciabatta delivers a kick of house spicy mayo, while snack-sized cravings are best satisfied by the Red Hot Popcorn Chicken and slider-style Mini Sandwiches.

Know Before You Go Service is strictly counter-order and walk-in only, seeing brisk foot traffic during lunch rushes and late-night party hours. Ample free parking sits right out front in the plaza lot, and the 54 Lawrence East bus stops just steps away. Doors stay open late every night of the week, running until 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 3:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
