Keihei Chicken is a Chinese restaurant at 450 Fergusson Drive, Heretaunga, Upper Hutt 5018, and it carries a 4.8 rating on Google. Chinese restaurants are often judged by the simplest thing on the menu: the chicken. Poached, salt-baked or soy-braised, a well-handled bird should arrive with silky flesh, glossy skin and rice beneath it cooked in the stock, and a kitchen that gets that right usually gets everything else right too. Regulars tend to order the house chicken on a first visit, then build the meal out with noodles and greens. Chicken also travels better than most dishes, which is why it anchors so many Chinese takeaway orders around the Hutt Valley. Keihei Chicken on Fergusson Drive is where Upper Hutt locals can put that theory to the test.
