Texas Chicken

Oh yeah! Texas Chicken closer to home. Forget those tiny pieces of chicken from KFC. Want Spicy? .....its Everyday at Texas Chicken 👍

Went the first day it's open - expected a delay because of that. I don't know why people are complaining about wait times when they went literally the first week that this store opens like it is not obvious that half of Rotorua will come to get Texas Chicken. My food was good, chicken was freshly cooked, and chips up to its usual standard. Staff was alright - they were busy so it's understandable. Apart from that, I suggest/recommend you get the spicy chicken as it is 200% better than original. Honey butter buns is also a must - you can probably forgo the potato gravy and coleslaw. Oh, they do American Style chips, so don't expect your Kiwi-Style chips as they taste a bit different.

If you love Hot n Spicy KFC go to Texas... Their pieces are far bigger for a better price and way juicier... you really can't eat n drive the chicken's too juicy. The wing pieces are cut with part of the breast. I no longer want to pay for chicken scraps, and I want to feel full at a less profit hungry price. I like their coleslaw. They date them so are made Fresh and creamier, not sealed and taste old from being stored. Also, you gotta handle a Buttery Honey Bun after all that. Texas. Its totally cheaper, different, a place to go to for decent pieces of crunchy crisp and juicy chicken.

In terms of flavour the chicken was nothing to write home about, but it's so damn tender I was able to cut it with a plastic spoon, and so crunchy. The burger was amazing and the little hunny bun thing was great, the mashed potato and gravy was home style. Much better than Kfry, just

I have been to Texas chicken twice, the first opening day we ordered the 2x $39.90 combo (12 chicken, 2 large fries, 1 mash and 1.5l drink) per combo. We got one combo with hot n spicy chicken and swapped out the mash for a coleslaw which we were charged for even though we were told there was no cost for swapping out items, we also ordered a 6pk of honey buns . Waited 45mins which was fair enough considering it was the opening. We paid for our order which was meant to be $86.80 and parked up front. Once we got our order (45mins later) they delivered it to our car, I done a quick sweep of the order. We only recieved 3 honey buns and 2 fries (we should have recieved 6 buns and 4 fries) now the frustrating part was in store was packed up and so was drive thru so we decided to leave it, it just wasn’t worth the extra waiting and probably by then the food will get cold. Now having to feed 9ppl with 2 large fries (not even large in size - more close to a medium, same with the 1x coleslaw and 1x mash) we were at least hoping the chicken would be good. the Chicken was hard and dry (maybe too long in the fryer) there was no flavour whatsoever. One day that same week I was checking my bank account and had catched the total cost I was charged at Texas chicken. A meal I should have been and was totalled by the cashier at $86.80 I was infact charged $98.70. I was in Hamilton at this time and wasn’t going to be back in Rotorua til later so I just took that as a “I will never go back there again”. But Because I never learn my lesson once, I randomly pulled into drive thru again today and this time ordered a 3pc combo. There was a 5min wait on the honey buns and I was even charged correctly as I double checked before waving my card. My meal was delivered and I done a quick sweep over my items to make sure I got what I ordered (I did not want a déjàvu similar to my first experience). The service I received today was lovely, I was served by a lovely lady there her name was Amitha. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken as it was exactly how fried chicken should be. The honey buns were fresh and full of deliciousness. In general going through a second time has definitely changed my perspective. I would most probably visit quite often now.
