Downlow Chicken Shack

Met up with a few friends I hadn’t seen in ages. Decided to finally try Downlow Chicken Shack. They’re next door to Kin Kao Thai Kitchen.

We dropped in on a Thursday (around 6:15pm) and there was a line out the door. There was still a line when we left. The wait was about 20 minutes to order and we were lucky to snag a table inside. Water is self serve.

The menu is all about chicken; chicken by the piece, the sando, tenders, all the combos and chicken & waffles. You can choose from 5 heat levels (mild, medium, hot, extra hot and side of milk).

6x Big wing Wednesday ($2.00 each)
We decided to try half a “hot” dozen wings. These are just as described. Not your typical dinky wings. Crispy, thick and the hot was a perfect heat level. The white bread and pickles weren’t my favourite.

Tenders ($9.00 small)
Comes with one sauce (we chose honey mustard). Tenders were fantastic. Perfectly breaded and juicy. These are chicken tenders elevated.

Two by four ($22.00)
4 boneless thighs and two sides. We picked the fries and mac salad. I had heard great things about the fries but these were average.
