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 nine different sauces — Nashville hot, sticky Szechuan, chipotle mayo, blue cheese, Johnny sauce, gravy, house-made tomato sauce, Detroit smoky barbecue or ranch — and a side of fries, mash and gravy. Downing all that fried fare is thirsty work, so the lower north shore eatery is also cracking open tins of beer for just $6.
To make a booking, head to the Johnny Bird website.
Johnny Bird's all-you-can-eat fried chicken fest runs from 5pm.
