Crows Nest's Johnny Bird is frying up a storm one Saturday a month.

Overview

You'd never guess from the popularity of its fried chicken that Johnny Bird was once a lobster roll joint. Luckily, it ditched the crustacean earlier this year in favour of free-range fried chicken, and it has been serving it up in droves every since. And, on the last Saturday of every month, its fryers are extra busy, when it hosts an all-you-can-eat fried chicken party.

For $30, you'll get unlimited brined and fried chook with one of eight different sauces — Nashville hot, sticky Szechuan, chipotle mayo, blue cheese, Johnny sauce, gravy, house tomato sauce or Detroit smoky barbecue — and a side of fries, mash and gravy. Downing all that fried fare is thirsty work, so the lower north shore eatery will also be slinging tins of Yulli's Brews for $6.

Yulli's has recently launched a slew of new brews, which coincided with the opening of its new Alexandria brewery and taphouse, so this may be a good chance to try some of them on the cheap — alongside a hefty, bottomless, serving of fried chicken, of course.

To make a booking, head to the Johnny Bird website.

Johnny Bird's all-you-can-eat fried chicken fest runs from 5–10pm.
