Magic Bird Fried Chicken earns top spot behind Brazen Hall and Khao Restaurant
The results are in! Fried Chicken Fest took Winnipeg by storm this past week and the weather was no match for foodies driven to taste their way around the best fried chicken in the city and surrounding areas. From January 20 to 27, twenty-one restaurants across the city and in Stony Mountain and Selkirk served up their best fried chicken creation to eager food lovers who took the challenge of trying as many as they could very seriously. Fried chicken lovers were asked to vote for their favourite online at friedchickenfest.ca and the winner left no doubt that creativity pays off.
Congratulations to Magic Bird Fried Chicken the 2019 winner of Fried Chicken Fest! Clearly, the Cone Ranger rode into town and stole the hearts and taste buds of foodies throughout Winnipeg and the surrounding area.
