I tend to become a bit of a roast chicken addict in winter time for some strange reason. I also don’t like supporting intensive chicken farming. So you can imagine I am a pretty massive fan of the free range chicken roastery down the road in Clifton Hill/North Fitzroy — Chickens on Queen. You really can’t beat a charcoal roasted chicken when you have a hunger to fill and can’t be bothered cooking. In my mind it is healthier than eating a burger for dinner. At least that is true until I walk in the front door and see all the chickeny roasted delights on offer on the menu and order up everything in sight. So if you too are into a good roast, I dare you to give it a try. That is if you aren’t too chicken. Hohohoho!

Talk about finger licking good. KFC has nothing on Clifton Hill’s answer to The Colonel: Chickens on Queens Parade. Selling various incarnations of Lilydale’s free range chicken, from whole charcoal chickens to halves, quarters, burgers and wraps, Chickens on Queens Parade is a veritable poultry paradise for chicken lovers. I usually hit Chickens on Queens when I’m hungover and in need of a not-too-unhealthy fast food fix. Chickens’ burgers and wraps are ok but nothing in comparison to the shop’s scrumptious whole roast chickens. Just what the Colonel ordered.
