Chicken shops are abundant in the UK. There are thousands of them in London alone. It is not uncommon to see 3-4 of them on the same high street. They're usually operated by South Asians and are very popular, especially amongst youth, particularly for being cheaper than major fast food chains.
Yep and having more selection and opportunities to personalise your order. “Yes boss let me get one normal wing and one bbq wing pls” and bossman will do that even tho it defo doesn’t exist on the menu…lol you’re not getting that in KFC
I swear I grew up on this food. Would finish school and head to my local chicken shop and get 4 wings and chips for £1. This is authentic London street food. The strawberry Mirinda was a good choice, you were clearly well informed.
Brooo you continue you to make us Brits so happy with this video. It's so nice to see someone doing their research and giving our food a real chance. Dunno how long you're here for but it would be great to see you do a classic beans on toast with a builder's cuppa tea haha.
Broski u done us proud on this one , firstly man knows about the geographical chicken shop preferences. Man ordered the family special. Man made my heart warm with This one. Pause. Shout out deen
Chicken shops in the Uk are for people who don't want to spend a lot of money but want FLAVOURS, you'd typically see a bunch of school children gathered around there after school purely due to how inexpensive it is. back in the day you were able to get 6 wings, chips and a drink for £1
The best thing about these shops is when you get recognised as a regular (Happened a lot when I would have it for dinner after school) they will give you free wings with anything you get and if you just get wings they would give extra.
I can’t believe my eyes, Ben has visited the sole satisfiers of hunger, the oasis in the desert, the provider of cheap delicious meals itself. A monumentous occasion 😔🙏
It's kind of refreshing to see how much you enjoyed that. I grew up in London eating this all throughout my childhood and teenage years, and I guess now that I'm an adult, chicken shop food often seems a little too basic but sometimes that nostalgic flavour and texture just hits differently. Now I'm craving my local Sam's
Same. Morelys, dixy they all the same once you've been eating them since primary school. Not to say it's bad but I'm mad jealous of the way he's enjoying this stuff cuz to me it's aight
@@shoazdon7000 they get more expensive and most of them don’t even get better or at least stay good, I seen a chicken cottage get more expensive and less quality which is unfortunate
Nah Ben ur actually prolly the only person not being from London smash the London/British cuisine. Like you were spot on with everything and really gave a chance unlike others who go in hating from before. What a legend 💪🏼
lmao exactly they always just have them eat spotted dick or bubble and squeak as if its every day british food. i cant remember the last time i had either of them though
Seeing Ben try and experience what some of us grew up on is an experience of its own, local chicken and chip shops here in London are a lot of peoples childhood especially if you grew up in rough/ghetto areas.. niggas know bout the 3 wings and chips for £1 back then..
Lol I'm a Mum of three kids born and raised in London...they all love my cooking but I think sometimes they lie..but the way I see Ben Deen savour his bites..I would totally trust his judgement 😮😮😮😂😂😂😊😊😊❤
ben your videos give me so much comfort. i cant always afford to eat every day so while watching your channel im kinda getting my nutrients in haha. thank you
Big up to The Pengest Munch!! Classic. Next you gotta do jerk chicken and rice and peas washed down with Guiness Punch or Pineapple Punch from an ital Jamaican shop. Preferably not from a central London posh shop, go street. Excellent vids.👍
Ben Deen gets the streets approval with this one. Never thought I'd see a review of Morleys from someone outside of the UK, you could've also got Dixy's to compare the two, but I'm happy you enjoyed the food most of us kids grew up eating here and It reminded me about all the crazy experiences and stories we had in Bossman's chicken shops.
It'd be great to see him eat different African cuisines. Jollof rice, fufu/eba/pounded yam/injera with different stews/soups from their respective regions etc. Just a complete feast🤤
Bro I genuinely ordered a Morleys a few nights ago and watched your Greggs video whilst I ate it thinking to myself "man he should really try Morleys". A few days later and here we are lol I feel like I thought it into existence haha glad you had it whilst you're here because it is a big thing here. There's almost as many chicken shops as there are pubs
The fries from Morleys come unsalted there's usually a few sachets of salt in the bag with it, put 2 in with the chips and shake the bag also burger sauce is the one! My normal order is fillet burger meal with Orange Mirinda and either 6 wings or a 1 piece on the side
For a skinny man, you get down on that chicken like a boss. As a big dude who loves his chicken, I feel like a proud papa watching you heartily indulge. Love your videos, bro.
Hi, I've really enjoyed your UK videos, its really interesting to see someone from another country experience what we take for granted. Solid reviews mate look forward to seeing more content and watching your older stuff.
Man Ben you have me drooling big time. The crunch is out of this world. That’s how I love my chicken is that crunchy. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. Great video my friend cheers till your next video.
"london's fried chicken scene it's kinda underground, kinda lowkey kinda unkown, at least to me" second hook "so i hit up my boy amilli p from the streets of kingsbury" ben is a poet.
You NEED to go to Manchester before you leave and try the spicy chicken fillet burger scene there (specifically Philadelphia fried chicken), super competitive and very different to any style of chicken burger you’d have tried anywhere else (Spicy chicken fillet burger meal with cheese. Wings, fried and gravy with a Rio as your drink would be the perfect order)
Respect for trying out Morley’s, been watching you for years and glad your trying out the local cuisine, as a guy who grew up in London these places are more than something you just go to grab food, it was a social place for many of us after school to grab a quick snack and have some jokes (banter)
Yes, you MUST try a Doner Kebab with the garlic mayo and chilli sauce (with all the salad). Also, just as an aside following your Greggs video. In the Midlands (mainly Nottingham & Derby) we have a chain called Birds bakery which is like a 'next level Greggs' and far superior. I don't suppose you'll be able to give it a try but I'd highly recommend it.
The sauce is just chilli sauce and not "sweet" chilli sauce, it's quite potent with a sour but hot flavour. Only thing you missed out on was the BBQ wings! my favourite spot is the one in Brixton.
I used to go to my local chicken shop all the time in my teens/20's. I would always get either a chicken fillet burger or a veggie burger and chips. It used to be so cheap back then. Like $4 or something. It's a bit more expensive these days but still pretty cheap. You see locals in these places all the time, especially working class people at the end of their shift, or school kids after school. It's definitely a huge part of culture in working class London. Me and my mate used to call our local place "Knockoff-Fried-Chicken" jokingly because for us it was the poor man's KFC. Next up, you gotta try a kebab from a local kebab joint. This is the classic drunk person's meal on a Saturday night after having a few pints at the pub!
I almost always get a chicken wrap from these shops. They're always so good and fills me up, esp with the spicy fries and a coke/pepsi. Glad you're enjoying your stay in the UK :D
Damn, I discovered this channel because of the Greggs video, but it's cool to see you trying the chicken shops too. Btw, I'd say they're more of a London thing than a UK thing. I grew up in London, but been living in a few different towns and cities across the UK past few years and the few chicken shops I've found outside the city just don't hit the same
I've only just recently found your channel but I've become kind of addicted to these videos lmao, cool to see your opinions on the food. Also just wanted to mention the Evangelion shirt is so undeniably based
With the fries you have to get them peri peri salted (you can just ask in store but doubt it comes in a delivery option) it takes them to the next level (the correct level)
Honestly, Watching these I cant help but smile, people always shitting on our food but it is fire!!! Thanks for trying and raising love around our food :D
Damn you listened!!! made me smile if you want a local shop try KHF in stepney best chicken shop in london imo, you need to try their lamb doner aswell it’s the best doner to ever exist it is cooked with naga ( a bengali spice i believe) you’ll definitely like it as it’s not like your ordinary doner and is spicy with loads of flavours
Can I just say the amount of accurate research you’ve done on this London series I just have to salute you 🫡. Not many RUclipsrs get it right but this is the most accurate representation of British food I’ve seen yet. I lived in Korea for 4 years and I CRAVED this food. I hate when people say Londons food scene is shite because couldn’t be further from the truth. Next time, please visit China Town and visit Indian restaurants and do a video about it! A huge part of the London food scene is actually how culturally diverse the food is. We probably have the best Indian food in the West (I’ll say that confidently haha)
In the UK we'd be more likely to call those type of chips fries, mainly because the places that introduced them (McDonalds etc) called them fries on their menu, and when you buy bags of them from the supermarket they're labelled as fries. That has slipped into our language, but the big chunky chip shop chips are still chips... A lot of places use that formula on their menu, if it says fries then it's McDonalds style, if it says chips then it's chunky chips.
You're spot on with the chicken nuggets from these places. The rest of the chicken will have been freshly made but the nuggets would most likely come like that and just deep fried since you can get the exact same from Asda and def tastes a bit too clean. Need some artificial flavour in it
Yeah you should do a Chinese takeaway, London doesn’t really have great Chinese takeaways but still might be worth the experience. Salt and pepper chicken with some curry sauce is quite popular.
Also i order food from a local kebab shop where i live in the uk and the owners love me they add extras and all, its pretty common with these kebab/chicken shops
You’ve got to try Turkish food!! Efes chain restaurant is great! The starters and chicken dishes like sish kebab or doner are fire! Lamb chops or iskender same. Please have a go at it. So glad you’re here, man! Love 🧡
Back when bossman hits you up with 6 wings chips and drink for £2, now the prices have gone crazy. I might not consume it much anymore, but I always go to a chicken shop at least once a month, its engrained in me. Also, every chicken shop is slightly different, even if its the same chain. I'm from Southend and I have probably 10 chicken shops in walking distance to where I live 🤣 Also some chicken shops can be hit and miss as remember its lower class bad quality food, sometimes the wraps and wings are awful. But this is usually rare. P.S STRAWBERRY MIRINDA IS WHERE ITS AT
I grew up eating chicken and chips for lunch during breaktime at secondary school …..best thing you can put on your chips is the salt and pepper sachets they give you. Absolute 🔥
Ben you need to check out Chicken George in Hitchin its Jon Blaze🔥. Their mango wings are 🔥 You need to hit up a lamb or chicken shawarma wrap. London Edgeware Road is where it’s at.

I'm from Southend and I have probably 10 chicken shops in walking distance to where I live 🤣 Also some chicken shops can be hit and miss as remember its lower class bad quality food, sometimes the wraps and wings are awful. But this is usually rare.
P.S STRAWBERRY MIRINDA IS WHERE ITS AT
It also used to taste so much better back in the day too! 🔥
Ben quoting the Pengest Munch brought such joy to my day🎉...fine chicken shop tings
I grew up eating chicken and chips for lunch during breaktime at secondary school …..best thing you can put on your chips is the salt and pepper sachets they give you. Absolute 🔥
& burger sauce on the chips! 🤩
Ben you need to check out Chicken George in Hitchin its Jon Blaze🔥. Their mango wings are 🔥 You need to hit up a lamb or chicken shawarma wrap. London Edgeware Road is where it’s at.
How does he always manage to spend a lot more money than I ever have buying the same stuff in England 😂
Everything he has bought in this series so far has been so much more than it should be. I’m wondering if they see him coming! 😂
Uber eats 😂
He usually gets UberEats to bring it, so there's a massive mark up
The delivery fees is what makes it more expensive
Southern prices too. It’s cheaper up north.
@@IamBATMAN2024Southern prices aren’t that expensive
You should try Caribbean food and Turkish food. You’ll love it - as long as you go to a good place, but there’s lots of good places. 😊
i just rewatched the beef wellington video and id love to see u try it out again (tho idk if its in london)
You should try Afternoon English Tea (sandwiches, tea, cake etc)
Yesss! It’s a must
Afternoon tea is just overpriced sandwiches better off getting a meal deal honestly.
The man eats the wings properly, I respect it
I don’t agree with eating the cartilage knuckles 😅🤢😂
@@IamBATMAN2024yea, i can't eat the fat on chicken legs etc.
