The Best Charcoal Chicken in Crows Nest
Here at El Jannah, we don’t just throw some chicken on a grill and plate it up a handful of minutes later. That’s not how we do things. Nah, we slow-cook everything to really lock in those flavours. Every bite is a perfect balance of flavour, texture, and that unbeatable char. When you’re at El Jannah, you’re not just eating chicken, you’re experiencing a flavour explosion that’s been perfected over 30 years. This isn’t just charcoal chicken in Crows Nest.

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.

Tasty chicken and wraps. One wraps is enough to feed one person and I was unable to finish it. Chicken was juicy but the bread was bit hard compare to other types of bread.
