Chicken Obsessions: Cebu’s Best Chicken Dishes

Okay, ‘obsessions’ might be too exaggerated but c’mon, who doesn’t love chicken? I mean, I can’t live without it. I already drool by just the smell of it.

With hundreds of restaurants and food stalls/kiosks in the city, it’s really difficult to decide which restaurant has the best chicken dishes especially if it boils down to preference on how it’s cooked. Nevertheless, I want to share with you some of the restaurants or kiosks that serve the one of the best chicken dishes. Aside from the well-known favorite Jollibee Chickenjoy or KFC’s, McDo’s, Mang Inasal’s or whichever is best for you, but here are some other best chicken should try:

Gibb’s Hot Wings

• Price range: P500-600 for 2 people
• Operating hours: 11 AM to 2 PM , 5:30 PM to 10 PM
• Location: 2/F Streetscape, Paseo Saturnino, Ma. Luisa Road, Banilad, Cebu

Want it the spicy way? Gibb’s Hot Wings has got it for you in 5 levels! One of the best chicken recipe with its flavorful sauce, Gibb’s is a must try! If you’re not a fan of spicy food, don’t worry because they also serve different yet still satisfying chicken dishes.

Tagala Chicken

• Price range: P200 for 2 people
• Operating hours: 8 AM to 7 PM
• Location: Don Jose Avila Street, Capitol Site (beside Cebu Doctors Hospital)

If you’re on ‘tingbits´ or in search of a daily go-to-lunch place, then this is the best place for crispy fried chicken. Tagala Chicken was touted as the Best Fried chicken by Sunstar’s Best Of Cebu 2015. The best part? Its affordable price and its tasty sauce!

Can’t get enough of just one plate of chicken? Burrow offers UNLIMITED chicken wings with UNLIMITED rice! Their unli chicken wings have 5 flavors for your big appetite — the Original Fried Chicken, Chili Wings, Mild Teriyaki, Asian BBQ, and Garlic Parmesan. Eating at Burrow is a fulfilling and satisfying experience.

Izakaya Goku

• Price range: P250 for 2 people
• Operating hours: 11 AM to 2 PM, 5 PM to 11 PM
• Location: GAGFA Tower, F. Cabahug Street,Mabolo, Cebu

Probably the best fried chicken deal you can found in Cebu because you can have 6 Japanese fried chicken for just 99 pesos! But the catch is their small bowl of rice which costs Php 60. The price doubles for take-outs. Not for rice eaters but it’s a great deal though.

Chosun Chicken

If you want it barbequed, Yakski is the best choice! I just can’t get enough of their chicken backbones accompanied by their tasty dipping sauce.

You might want to try Bon Chon’s signature chicken in soy & garlic and spicy. It’s very crunchy on the outside and flavorful on the inside.
