Hot fried chicken has been walking out the door down at Barangaroo since Belles Hot Chicken set up their wildly popular pop-up in November 2015 — 1000 kilograms of chicken weekly, apparently. And now, hot on the heels of opening their 130-seat permanent eatery in South Barangaroo, Belles will today open their second Sydney venue at the brand new Tramsheds Harold Park.

If you haven't been to Tramsheds yet, here's a handy rundown of everything you can eat there. It's a lot. And, just to add more indecision to the overwhelming gastronomic offering, from today — Friday, October 14 — Belles will also operate at the Forest Lodge foodie precinct. While most vendors — which includes Butcher and the Farmer, Garçon by The Little Marionette guys, Tokyo Bird's Osaka Trading Co., Messina and Bodega, amongst others — opened last month, Belles needed a little more time to get set up.

From midday Belles will serve up their signature hot chicken in a new 85-seat eatery. Co-owners Morgan McGlone and Miranda Campbell have expanded the menu to include their hot chicken sandwich and hot fish sandwich. You might have already snacked on Belles' fried Portobello mushrooms, crinkle cut chips, three bean salad, and you've probably dug into a personal serving of their signature chicken wings, lovingly laden with different levels of spiciness: southern, medium, hot, really hot, or really f**kin hot (and don't forget All The Sauces, from peach barbecue to the Mississippi Comeback).

Picked the really f**kin hot wings? Put out the fire with a glass of natural wine, something Belles has championed since opening in Melbourne. Or just move along to one of the other bars in the Tramsheds space — we recommend Garçon for an espresso martini or Osaka Trading Co. for a gin yuzu cocktail.

Belles Hot Chicken Tramsheds will open at noon on Friday, October 14 at Tramsheds Harold Park. For more info, visit belleshotchicken.com.
