Red Rooster was considered DEAD for like a decade but has been coming back last few years. Stepping up their game. Even the old one in my shitty hometown just got a renovation.
I feel like they don’t know what they want to be. At least they’re trying though. Back in the day pretty much anything outside of the roast chicken, chips and veggies were inedible and hideous. Now they’re turning into some sort of knock off kfc but it tastes like the “southern style fried chicken” you buy in frozen bags at the supermarket. Around 10 years ago they had these potato bite things that were unreal.
Got sold in 2019 (along with Oporto) to a company in Hong Kong... they were on death's door for years before the sale, picked up a little with the new owners.
People in Aus don't see it on social media as much as American brands. So it got bagged on hard. People try to be cool so they repeat what others say. Very few people in Aus form their own opinions because they don't want to be outcasts. Red Rooter has always been a good alternative to other fast food. Now they have to change because people want greasy unhealthy options.
I used to work at red rooster. Our chickens come fresh whole every day in the morning. The rooster roll is leftover chicken from the whole chickens the day before. RR used to be just mainly oven roasted chickens but only recently entered the fried market
I gotta agree. Red Rooster have only been doing fried chicken relatively recently, and it's pretty damn good. I grew up eating their roast chicken, 1/4 chicken and chips or their tropical pack with the fried pineapple, which were both great.
Heck yeah quarter chicken and chip packs are great. I remember they would have them half price on I think it was Wednesdays. Not sure if they do it anymore, but mmm. Since a Celiac I could eat them but id have to watch out for the stuffing.
Cheese is an American innovation. Old chip shops never had cheese, never had mayonnaise, and the onions were always fried/grilled. Bacon was always middle bacon. And I can tell you were “one of those kids” by saying bbq over tomato sauce. I bet you were one of those kids that used to flip up your eyelids.
@@Azzury. Yeh grilled onions is a must. Never mayo haven't tried that one yet. Bbq has taken over tomato sauce now it the stock standard these days Oh yeh and I did used to do the eyelid flip hahahha that's spot on sir
For those who haven’t tried Red Rooster in a few years because some of them were pretty terrible, I’d suggest giving them another go especially the fried chicken and the new burgers/sandwiches. I’m in Queensland and the outlets near me at least have really lifted their game with the new menu, and the older items are way better on average than they were as well. Solid review in my opinion and consistent with my experience of RR lately.
@@DogEater3211_ Agreed, I’ve got 2 KFCs roughly the same distance from me and one is pretty much about as good as KFC gets (I like the Zinger B&C) and the other one is dodgy AF. Nothing seems to ever be made fresh and they never get the order right, the RR right next door is way better and it’s amazing how much quieter it is than the sub par KFC.
So Red Rooster actually only had roast chicken up to a few years ago, the fried chicken is a new addition. But imo, it's the best thing they do. There's a sauce called something like sweet spicy maple BBQ or something that is also super fire 🔥🔥🔥
FIRSTLY, hormones are not added to chicken feed or administered to chickens by commercial chicken breeders in Australia. There has been a huge move away from caged chickens and eggs produced by caged chickens. So, flavour is better. And SECONDLY, moistness is a product of the cooking technique. Love RR cheesy nuggets with fries, mash and gravy. The chicken salt on the fries is next level and makes up for them being not as crispy as I like them. Their rotisserie chickens are a bit pricey but always nice. To be honest the rotisserie chickens from the supermarket are “nearly” as good and only $12 -$15 for a whole RSPCA Approved chicken or a free range chicken. Also you can get a discount at RR if you belong to the RACV (car club). I also have to say that back in the days of Wendy’s Hamburger chain, the hit and miss quality of their food was turned around when Hungry Jacks took them over and then the cooking of the beef etc improved, and thankfully, they included the iconic Aussie Burger with its sliced beetroot, bacon and egg, fresh lettuce, onion and tomato, cheese, tomato sauce and NO mayo. If you love mayo, fine order another burger on the menu or ask for mayo, but Wendy’s would asked if you wanted it then quite often put it on anyway after you said NO.
Best thing Red Rooster used to have, was their gravy torp. Basically like the third sandwich (pulled chicken, not the tenders) but the chicken was thoroughly covered in gravy - no idea why they took it off of the menu. Apparently you can still get it, you either ask for the torp with no sauce (just the chicken) and just buy a plain gravy yourself and apply it, or some places still will construct it for you provided you buy the items separately like this.
I used to work at Red Rooster, with the chicken we do brine it for a minimum of 1 day, so its mostly just stuff it, season it and chuck in the freezer. I'm not sure if you can, like you say "inject it" with some sus stuff before it arrives at the store but personally I haven't seen that much of disgusting off putting stuff when gutting out the fat so maybe its so juicy because of the custom steam ovens, not sure. Cheers
The rooster roll gets pre made with left over chicken and then re-heated upon order. Roast chickens are cooked fresh everyday. They’re salted and stuffed then kept in the cool room until cooked. As for the fried it’s kept raw in the cool room and only brought out when needed to be cooked. It gets coated and battered just before cooking.
Is the cavity of the stuffed chicken cooked to temp? Is the stuffing already cooked prior to being stuffed in chicken. that way nobody gets sick eating undercooked chicken from the cavity.
I’ve used to work there for years, the rooster roll was always made fresh everyday and we had to microwave it, the roast chicken was prepped every single day and stuffed cooked for an hour+
Red Rooster used to be that really random choice we'd get. I always enjoyed it though. I mean I always enjoy a roast chicken though. The peas are also weirdly enjoyable to me too. I dunno what they're putting in them but I'll gladly keep ordering it. Recently my mum told me we've got to try their fried chicken and ngl I feel like people are sleeping on red rooster fried chicken. Like a lot of people here, I thought Red Rooster had died off a lot, pretty shocked to see one still standing, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
i found it funny that the negatives he says about the rooster roll is the reason why so many love it, the secret is to get it out of the bag asap, so the bun does not steam in the bag, it is literally a microwaved chicken roll. Wish you got to try the old rippa sub and tenders, these new ones are prob better but i liked the old ones.
Red Rooster is awesome. With the Rooster roll you missed a trick - add the mash and gravy to it if it feels a bit dry. If it's missing crunch, add fries too.
Live in Perth, I go to Red Rooster not for the chicken, but for the chips. It isn't chicken salt (at least the one I go to isn't) but it's oversalted (which is great when a lot of fast food chips here tend to be undersalted). I haven't had actual chicken there for a while. Maybe I'll go check it out.
Ben you definately need to try El Jannah its a Sydney based chicken chain thats super delicious. They known for their Charcoal Chicken & Garlic sauce/ Fried chicken & gravy, highly reccomended !!
There's one chicken place in aus that be dead asf but the spicy chicken be hittin different Chicken treats is what it's called, literally wouldn't find anyone at the restaurant but it's always so damn good whenever i ordered it
The rooster roll is chewy because it’s microwaved, The chicken comes from leftover whole roast chickens that weren’t sold the day before, and the made rolls are stored cold until you order them and then microwaved. Now normally microwaving bread is shit, but thats kinda why i like it (only this roll) it’s the slight chewiness and ultra soft bread that I think makes it a crowd favourite.
You got to try El Jannah - it's currently my favourite fast food chain! It's so good. Can't get in the city in melbourne though, but if you take the trains to the suburbs you can try it-- it's way better than red and rooster imo.
The ripper roll was definitely one of their OG rolls, but the real money is on the bacon and cheese ripper. That thing shits on the basic ripper day and night, its so fucking good.
I think the knock against RR was that you could always get a roast chicken cheaper at a supermarket or better at a local charcoal chicken and chips shop. I always liked their original Rippa Roll, but was never impressed with the Rooster Roll - to me it felt like leftover chicken meat with mayo on a supermarket hotdog roll. Over the last few years they have come back with new items such as fried chicken but I don't think they're anywhere near as popular as say KFC.
Your camera experiences are really under all criticism! Made me dizzy from all the moving back and forth. Your voice over was much more pleasant than hearing the loud sound of chewing in the microphone.
you should go to our largest grocery retailers called Woolworths and get their $10 rotisserie chicken. Make sure you check the time stamp on it, it tells you when the chicken came out of the oven.
Red Rooster is so slept on - everyone thinks its a front for a money laundering scheme but they're putting out top notch food. It's super consistent from my experience.
Before you leave Australia you gotta try our fish and chips. Also a burger with "the lot/ the works" which you can mostly get from fish and chip shops also. maybe try dominoes to see if it different plus we have some different items on our menu of late. hungry jacks as they've got some new items coming out all the time and maybe try the plant based whopper apparently it is actually very good
how you got red rooster in the cbd is what I want to know. I never have it because in Sydney almost all their locations are pretty far out in the further suburbs
you need to try the bbq bacon burger box - add chilli aioli to the burger and instead of the normal chicken, choose the hot honey chicken piece, it’s my go to👍🏽
I used to work at Red Rooster when I was a kid. Those rooster rolls are infamous and the sogginess is the best part of them imo. To counter that, fill it up with chips to get some crunch. They are made with any roast chickens that are leftover from the day before, 60% white meat, 40% brown meat. The sauce is made from the stuffing inside the chicken, broken up and mixed with mayo. These days the don't put enough sauce in the rolls, which to me is the most important part of the roll. The whole roast chickens are NOT brined overnight or anything like that. They are put on a spit, and coated in chicken salt, the same salt they put on the chips. That's it, then they go into the spit roaster for 3 hours. Hope this sheds some light on it for you.
Red Rooster is the best fast food place for me rn. The Flayva Wrap is lit, their burgers and rolls are all good. Fried chicken is really good. I would never get a whole chicken from there like that tho, or the Rooster Roll lol. Fuck that shit
@@123jethro Homemade turkeys YES but NOT fast food chains. In the USA all they have is pretty much "Boston Market" rotisserie. Even here in Germany I have not seen this done anywhere they sell rotisserie.
Hi Ben I know you can't try everything, but if you get the chance you could try a newish premium Burger Chain called Bettys Burgers, they are also in Melbourne.
Bro you need to try a real charcoal chicken place like El Jannah, Ogalo or awafi. The charcoal chicken, garlic sauce, and chili sauce from El Jannah though is top their that shit is amazing, not sure if you guys have those types of chicken shops in the states, you're probably used to fried chicken. Highly recommend trying if you have not. (Way better than red rooster)
You should try meat pies, chicken pies etc. You don't have them in the US and they are popular here. Harry's Cafe De Wheels is the spot if you're in Sydney.
Excited to watch, im glad you tried red rooster. The burgers are an easy 10/10 imo, and the pineapple fritters. Edit: If you see this, why didn't you try one of the burgers?
In the 90's when KFC went down hill my local chicken shop was a Red Rooster never saw another one anywhere else. It was banging unfortunately it closed during Lockdown 2020!!
Personally I prefer RedRoosters chips to KFC or McDonalds. People like to joke for years that no one goes to RR, yet they're still in business so that can't exactly be true. They have definitely upped their game the last several years thiugh and expanded their menu. Another to try is El Jannah, which is a wsstern Sydney originated - lebanese charcoal chicken chain. And if you do visit sydney, also check out the banh Mi situation. Really popular there. Actually popular in most capital cities but especially Sydney. Marrickville pork roll is one of the OGs. They have a few shops now. There's a couple in the CBD/city centre too.
red rooster be dead asf but bussin from time to time
My mind read “red lobster” at first lol migraine side effects
Red Lobster > Red Rooster
When they changed the sub chicken from processed to actually tenders, it ruined it.
Sounds like grade 9 education

stuffed chicken is very popular in australia its uncommon to find a chicken that isnt stuffed

Man its a shame Ben couldn't try the classic rippa roll in its glory days....
And also stuffed chicken is so normal in Australia, if you buy a rotisserie chicken you'd have a harder time finding one without stuffing
Chicken Treat is another chain to try. They used to be popular but they have been disappearing over the years
Chicken treat is mostly a WA brand, there are 2 in NSW and thats it
Fark good shout didn't even know they were far and few between out of WA.
