Favorite Chicken & Ribs - Southend

There’s a spot in Southend-on-Sea where the locals queue with quiet anticipation, and it’s easy to see why. Favorite Chicken & Ribs has built a fiercely loyal following for its no-nonsense approach to flame-grilled poultry and sticky, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Despite being a relative newcomer on the scene, the kitchen has already earned a perfect Food Hygiene Rating — a clear sign they take just as much care behind the scenes as they do with the flavours out front. Word spreads fast along the seafront when a chicken joint gets it this right.

The magic here lies in the marinades and the grill work. Each bird is cooked through with a char that locks in juiciness, while the ribs come lacquered in a sweet, smoky glaze that demands finger-licking. Whether you’re after a simple quarter chicken with chips or a full rack of ribs with all the trimmings, the portions are generous and the seasoning is spot on. The peri-peri option adds a proper kick for those who like it hot. Order online via EatEasy and it arrives hot, crisp, and ready to devour — no frills, just seriously good chicken.
