Cheeky Chick is a new concept promising you the delivery of delicious rotisserie chicken. We rarely see restaurants in Kuwait where they specifically specialize in chicken that is roasted over a stone fire with as much dedication as Cheeky Chick has. Upon receiving some high praise about it from the boss man, our expectations rose, and we simply had to try it out! FYI, Cheeky Chick is now available on Carriage only.

The knock on the door came and our bellies were grumbling for lunch, and boy was it a feast worth waiting for. We received plenty of options, from chicken wings, to waffle fries. But it all started with the big dish, the. star of it all, the one and only whole chicken.

The process Cheeky Chick undertakes to deliver the perfect, juicy chicken every time is intriguing but also authentic. They marinate the whole chicken for 24 hours, then cook it in a process known as sous vide (under vaccum). Essentially following the slow and low ideal, while keeping together all the chicken’s yummy juices, this process cooks the entire chicken to perfection all round while marinating it for the 4-5 hours. It is then fired up in the rotisserie where it’s cooked under charcoal, stone, and wood giving it that smokey and crispy flavor we all love on the skin. A dry rub is then added to ensure the marinade sticks while being rotated, giving the already crispy skin an extra burst of flavor.

While the chicken is rotating on the rotisserie, the marinade will be distributed evenly, and that is what gave our whole chicken the juiciness we wanted from the inside, plus delicious flavors and the beautiful crispiness on the outside. If you’re not feeling famished enough, there’s the option of ordering half a chicken instead of a whole one.

Cheeky Chick also does chicken wings, spicy wings, and shish taouk. The process of these three items differs from the whole and half chicken cooking process, as the wings are marinated overnight, while the shish taouk is roasted over stone charcoal. We’ve personally tried all of them and the winning item of side dishes were the seasoned waffle fries. Who can ever say no to that?! But if you’re not a fan, there’s rice, fries, curly fries, and hummus, which are still great to have with chicken.

Another cheeky factor we absolutely loved is the variety of Cheeky Chick’s homemade sauces. There were so many sauces, we were dipping our chicken and fries like crazy to get a taste of them all. You can never go wrong with hummus, but due to the variety we had on our hands, hummus was slightly and shockingly sidelined. Flaming Chick contains mayo sriracha sauce, while My Sweet Ex is a combination of tahini and. pomegranate sauce which left us not as emotionally triggered as we thought we would be! The rest of the sauces are barbecue, honey mustard, garlic, tahini sriracha, and their signature cheeky sauce. Needless to say, they were all great to have with our chicken and fries.
