Dixy Chicken

Dixy Chicken is the long-running halal fried-chicken shop on the central run of Normanton Road, the South Asian food street that pulls trade from across south Derby and out into the eastern suburbs. Dixy Chicken — founded in 1986 — is widely cited as the UK's first and largest halal fried-chicken chain, and the Normanton Road shop has been the Derby flag-carrier for the brand for many years. The menu is built around the marinated, spice-blended fried chicken that the chain made its name on, with wings, burgers, southern-fried bites, salads and the standard chips-and-soft-drink sideline.

The shop runs as quick counter-service with delivery alongside, opening into late hours that suit the Normanton trade. Halal throughout, with no alcohol on the premises, in line with the chain's rules from the outset. A reliable, brand-consistent halal fried-chicken option for anyone in Pear Tree, Rose Hill or the surrounding streets — and one of the better-known shops on the corridor.
