Who are we? Thunderbird Chicken is where NASCAR's adrenaline meets Southern cooking's soul. During our founder Matt's racing days, first on the European open-wheel circuit and later as a NASCAR driver touring the southern United States, he discovered the incredible flavours of southern fried chicken. Inspired, he returned to the UK with a vision – he was determined to bring the ultimate fried chicken experience to the streets of London. Although inspired by the USA, Thunderbird has paved its own path in the big city. How, you may ask... well we're not just cooking chicken, we’re crafting Fried Gold perfection. Our secret? Using a "frientific" process our chicken undergoes a 12-hour brine, is seasoned with 12 herbs and spices, hand-breaded, and fried to golden perfection. The result? Chicken that's fresher, faster, and bursting with flavour. Our obsession with quality has paid off (if we do say so ourselves). We've been at the world's largest wing competition Wingfest not once, not twice, but seven times (and have won 12 awards!), as we constantly strive to innovate and produce bigger and bolder flavours, from our mind-blowing Chipuffalo sauce to the game-changing Thunderbun. At every Thunderbird pitstop, our All-Star team is ready to serve you a taste of our award-winging flavours. We may have started on the streets, but we're on a mission to bring our quality experience to chicken lovers everywhere. Buckle up and get ready – we’ve only just gotten started…
