It’s the sweet-meets-spicy flavour combo that Aussies have come to love and crave.

Crunchy golden fried chicken, drizzled with their bespoke sticky hot honey sauce for the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and downright irresistible. (My mouth is already watering.)

If you haven’t tried this golden item off their (already fabulous) menu, then it seems the stars have realigned. Run, don’t walk – now is your moment!
