Mother Cluckers' chicken strips are some of the best fried chicken you can find in London it's tea brined, buttermilk soaked and twice battered flavour-full amazingness.

The entire business was born out of a New Orleans gal's craving for southern fried chicken in London but nothing really making the cut. This was 2012 before the fried chicken craze happened. So she rolled up her sleeves and started experimenting in the kitchen purely for her own consumption. Her recipe was so tasty that her friend and now business partner, Ross curnow, convinced her to start selling it.

They soon found themselves moving further away from the music industry and selling friend chicken out of an ex US military ambulance.

You will have seen these guys at Kerb, Street Feast, Flat Iron Square, Spitalfield and various festivals. In 2018 they opened a permanent store in Exmouth market. Interestingly Britney talks about how they found running permanent kiosks and restaurants more financially viable than the trucks and pack up and down market stalls. - I found this fascinating.

This episode is particularly interesting for anyone thinking to test running a market stall themselves.
