We had half order of Honey Garlic and Black Yummy, which was still pretty generous. The chicken was fairly tender and moist, but the batter was too thick and dense. It was hard to eat because of too much batter. The honey garlic was sweet, but had too much sauce. We much preferred the black yummy which was sweet garlic and ginger soy. It was a lighter sauce. Moreover, the light saltiness and bright ginger hit made it less heavy.

We were disappointed that the Gib Jip (or stir-fried chicken giblets) which had much more green onion and white onion than actual giblets. But the giblets were on point being tender with a firm chew. There was plenty of pepperiness and brightness from the green onion. It was a bit greasy. The Corn Cheese was very buttery and greasy. But that wasn't a bad thing as the caramelized niblets were super sweet and aromatic. The melted stringy cheese added to the sinful, but tasty concoction. It was a better value than the giblets.

The Yammers were yam fries with a spicy dip. They were fried perfectly where the outside was crispy and easy on the grease. Inside, the tender yam was airy and super light. These ate much easier than the usual dense and soggy yam fries served elsewhere. Overall, we thought Big Chicken Town was mediocre compared to the other KFC options in the GVRD, but a way better option than Big River Brewing.
