This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

On Thursday, the 8th of April 2010, my colleague and I stopped at the Chicken Licken in Randfontein to order a take away meal. We waited for the order.

I later commented that people are receiving their order who arrived after us. When my colleague went to ask the lady behind the counter where our order was (this was 20 minutes later), we discovered that they had not started with the order!

We then asked that the order be cancelled and were refunded our money.

We asked that the Manager be called and a very 'laid back' lady appeared, who was not too stressed or helpful about our complaint. We asked for the Head Office number, and the toll free number was given.

The toll free number has now been phoned 4 times, and the same voice recording - promising us to come back to us within 48 hours, is still playing.

What we got from Chicken Licken was not even bad service. It was NO service.

I was not allowed to enter the store because i had a trolley with my groceries.

I was told they are not allowed inside, i was alone and opted to leave the store.

How do i leave a trolley with groceries outside a shopping centre?

Yesterday 01 December 2023 at 16:52 I bought 12hot wings and Soul sister 2. I was disappointed to find that I was only given 10 wings instead and this is not the 1st time in this store, they did the same when I came in to buy party 16 in September they have me 15, I count because u always share with my son.

I bought an 8 wing special from the drive through in durban north and I cannot get over how salty the meal was. It's ridiculous. All u taste is salt and no flavour. Ridiculous. Never buying chicken licken again! KFC has a signature flavour, but never ever salty! What is chicken lichens signature flavour? Is it SALT?

Hi.

It's not really a complain as I enjoy chicken licken..

Just want to bring it to your attention that the chicken coating is very salty.. Every time we buy the chicken doesn't matter where we buy its still salty..

Most people I talk to say the same

The chicken is SALTY..

I bought 2 lunch meals and Chicken Licken, MOTS. The chicken was not well fried, it was brown - blackish in colour. We didn’t enjoy the food as we had bought burger for the child and we were told that only food bought from them is allowed. We were eating and the child was looking at us 🫣. Above all , the chicken was horrible

I'm disappointed that your stuff is selling us old wings. I bought 12 rocket wings. Only to find half of the wings are yesterday wings. The wings are even hard and much darker in colour. This is not the first time people complain about the food in this franchise.
They even smell funny ( burned chicken)

Order number 3189

The staff here are rude and arrogant no values or customer service in a space of 15 minutes 4 customers complaining about the service I would suggest an immediate address of the pathetic, putrid service.

Good Day

I purchased the Soul Sister Party 4 meal (R58.90) from the branch in Kempton Park [protected])

Order #1330

The chicken had a more burnt texture.
The meal wasn't enjoyable.

On 19 July 2019 I purchased a Boerie burger from your Viking branch.

The bun was old and crumbly, patties fried dark and dry and very little sauce and 1 slice of gurkin. The burger was tasteless and very dry.
