Tennessee Fried Chicken

A long-standing fried chicken takeaway on the lower stretch of Wembley High Road, serving the kind of quick, filling meal that this part of the street has always done well. The menu follows the established template of southern-style fried pieces, wings, burgers and chips alongside the spicy sauces that are the calling card of this style of operation. Priced accessibly for the local footfall, it is the kind of place that earns its custom from volume and reliability rather than innovation. The High Road at this point is a densely competitive corridor for fried chicken, and Tennessee has kept its place in it by giving regulars exactly what they expect — hot food, reasonable portions and a counter that moves quickly. There is nothing elaborate here, and it does not need to be.
