Hackney could be called the chicken shop capital of London, the love of spicy wings or thighs a common service Greasy chicken bones litter the streets like cigarette butts in a borough caught by Kentucky fried fever. Abdal Khan, of ‘Chicken and Pizza’ on Amhurst Road, dubbed Hackney the “chicken capital of the world” and it’s hard to see otherwise. The growing abundance of fried food shops is underlined by the fact that there are now more than two for each secondary school in the borough. The shops centre on Stoke Newington and other districts with the right demographics. These are targeted operations not just random start ups. Residents should be careful though when ordering their wings, many chicken shops have a poor food rating. ‘Dixy Chicken’ in Hackney Central, one of the 20 takeaways listed on the database, has a paltry one out of five star rating, indicating that the establishment is failing to comply fully with Britain’s food hygiene laws. A 25-year-old Hackney fried chicken shop worker of five years, spoke of the industry’s bad practice. “After cooking a piece of battered chicken, you can only serve it within an hour, but staff leave it on a low heat all day, creating a breeding ground for bacteria, ” he said. “They do it to cut costs and get the most out of their stock.” It should be noted that the problem is not limited to chicken shops. There are around 160 fried food takeaways in the area, which equals eight per square kilometre. With this concentration, residents are never more than a 10 minute walk away from a deep-fried treat. A chicken and chips meal will set you back £1, making it a clucking good deal. More at https://hackneypost.co.uk/hackneys-chicken-shops-hackney-chicken-shops/
