People were queueing out the door to try this delicious fried chicken

Fried chicken shops in London are two a penny, but I think I’ve found one that takes this comfort food to the NEXT LEVEL.

Good Friend Fried Chicken has been all over my TikTok FYP for weeks, so naturally I had to go down for myself and see if it’s worth the hype.

The experience didn’t disappoint but it comes with a price tag. My small but very delicious bag of popcorn chicken set me back £7 (and that’s at the lower end of the price scale.)

Check out my video above for the full review and to learn more about this seriously good chicken shop.

I think it’s earned its reputation as ‘the best in London’.
