Usa Chicken

USA Chicken is the fried-chicken-and-pizza operator on the Newhall end of High Street, the main road climbing north out of Swadlincote toward Burton. It has been on this site since at least 2018, when USA Chicken Swadlincote Limited was incorporated, and runs through Just Eat alongside its own online ordering.

The kitchen does what the name suggests — battered chicken pieces, wings, hot wings, strips and bargain buckets, plus thin-crust and deep-pan pizzas built on fresh-daily dough with the usual choice of tomato, garlic, sweet chilli, BBQ or chilli bases and stuffed-crust upgrades. Burgers, doner kebabs and combo meal-deal boxes fill out the rest of the menu, with thin fries as the regular side. Reviewers on Restaurantji and Wanderlog pick out the fried chicken as the strongest item — several specifically liken the batter to KFC — while the pizza side picks up more mixed comments.

It runs as a phone-and-collect and delivery operation, with no sit-in. The location is at the busier south end of Newhall's High Street, which puts it on the route households take heading home from Swadlincote town and which keeps it ticking through the evening as a regular fried-chicken stop.
