CHICK 'N' SOURS
Kingsland Road, E2

Like so many parts of London, chicken is gentrifying. We don't mind, though, when it raises the bar this high. Chick 'N' Sours, which opened Friday, serves up premium, herb-fed fried chicken with a big range of tasty sour cocktails. Hence the name. chicknsours.co.uk

BIRD
Curtain Road, E1

You might have already tried BIRD's brand of Asian-influenced fried chicken and sides, but did you know that it's now introducing a lunch menu? Well now you do. The chicken with biscuits and maple syrup is a crowning achievement. birdrestaurants.co.uk

BULL IN A CHINA SHOP
Shoreditch High Street, E1

This brand-new, experimental bar prizes itself on its huge range of Scotch and Japanese whiskies, but it's got a secret weapon, too: its whole rotisserie chicken, marinated and glazed in Chinese spices and whisky. Sounds like a winner to us. bullinachinashop.london
