Belles Hot Chicken On Tour

Overview

Following an appearance earlier in the year, Australian cult classic Belles Hot Chicken is coming back to Auckland for a two-day pop-up.

Like lots of famous things that Australia likes to take credit for, Belles Hot Chicken is actually the brainchild of renowned New Zealand chef Morgan (Morgy) McGlone and Miranda Campbell. The pair started selling their "really fucking hot" fried chicken matched with natural wines at their Gertrude Street restaurant in Melbourne and have since opened three more stores in Melbourne and three in Sydney.

The Belles pop-up at Culprit will feature Hawke's Bay free-range organic Bostock chickens and a glasses of smashable natural wine selected by Dan Gillett of Wine Diamonds. As well as baskets of fried goodness, there'll be chicken sammies, killer sauces and finger-licking good sides of fries, braised greens and slaw. No bookings required, just bring yourself and an empty belly (and maybe a bib). Service will kick off from 12pm until sold out.
