Kungfu Chicken Howick is a chicken takeaway on Ridge Rd in Howick, Manukau City, Auckland, holding a 4.7 Google rating, with more information on its website at kungfuchicken.co.nz. Fried chicken is a trade judged in minutes. The coating is at its crispest straight from the fryer, and the better takeaways fry in small batches rather than letting pieces sit under heat lamps, so it pays to ask when the next batch is due — or simply turn up at busy mealtimes, when turnover is quick and nothing lingers in the cabinet. Clean, clear oil matters too; old oil leaves a heavy taste no seasoning can hide. The true test is the trip home: a crust that is still crunchy ten minutes later was done properly. For Howick locals, a well-rated chicken takeaway on Ridge Rd is a handy thing to have in the neighbourhood.
