ChickQueen Markham serves up a spicy twist on halal fried chicken that's worth a visit. This cozy spot combines flavourful food with a pleasant view, making for an enjoyable experience despite minor drawbacks.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the chicken. Fresh, tender, and packed with bold, spicy flavour. The batter is more fluffy than crispy, which may surprise some, but pairs beautifully with the creamy dip that cools the heat and enhances the texture. The royal chicken burger, featuring a juicy chicken breast with crisp lettuce and tangy sauce, is a standout dish that's simple yet incredibly satisfying.
While the food impresses, service could be quicker. A single person appeared to handle operations during my visit, resulting in a 20-minute wait. Despite this, the quality of the food made the delay more bearable.
Sides like fresh coleslaw rounded out the meal well, though the fries were unremarkable. The ambiance benefits from the restaurant's scenic surroundings and clean interior.
For fans of bold, spiced-up chicken dishes, ChickQueen delivers. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait--and maybe bring a friend to help tackle the heat. read more
