What Makes our Fried Chicken in Crows Nest So Crispy
So, what makes El Jannah’s fried chicken in Crows Nest the crispiest, juiciest, and most irresistible around? Want to know the secret? Well okay, but don’t tell anyone. The secret is … we … Cook it! Crazy right? No, really, hear us out for a sec. Too many chicken shops do a rush job when it comes to frying their chicken and then what you end up with is some oil-drenched, soggy sad excuse for a chicken tender. You’re coming home from the club and the only thing you want is something crunchy and that’s what you get? No. We won’t stand for it.
Here at El Jannah, we don’t do anything half-hearted. Each piece of chicken is carefully coated with our special blend of spices and hand-breaded to create that perfect crispy crunch that’s impossible to resist. There will be no tears over soggy tenders for you. We promise.
