Jimmy’s Chicken, completely unrelated to the Merivale outlet by the same name in Coogee, is a local poultry butcher and cooked chicken shop near the Coles of Burwood Westfield.
I’d previously seen someone enjoying a piece of their fried chicken sitting on a step outside of Westfield, but today chose a Family BBQ Chicken ($14) for my first foray into Jimmy’s arts.
I actually didn’t enjoy this chicken at all. The skin was extremely crispy, which was a good thing, but the rest of it was worse than unexciting. The meat, by and large, was dry, with minimal flavouring applied.
I ended up eating it with some packet gravy that I had lying around in the pantry at home.
For what it’s worth, their raw marinated Tandoori chicken drummettes are quite good.
