Whole Fried Chicken Catering in Scarborough

Whole chickens deep-fried golden, cooked to order for groups of 10 or more.

Every event table needs one dish nobody has to be talked into. Whole fried chicken is that dish. Kids go for it, the older relatives go for it, and it sits next to spicy curries without competing with them.

At Blessed Kitchen we cook whole fried chicken as a special order for groups of 10 or more. The chicken is seasoned and deep-fried whole until golden, and we price it on request based on how many you need.

Why a whole chicken instead of pieces

A whole bird looks like a centrepiece when it comes out, and it stays juicier than small pieces sitting on a buffet. It also makes serving easy: carve it at the table or let guests pull it apart.

Building a table around it

• Add a rice base. Chicken biryani or ghee rice both work.
• Add one curry with gravy. Chicken korma is mild and pairs well with fried chicken.
• Add one hot dish for the spice lovers. A devil dish keeps them happy.

Fried chicken is especially good for birthdays, graduations and any event with a lot of kids, because it is the one dish you can be sure every child will eat.

How to order

Call (647) 449-2924 with your date and headcount for a price. Everything is halal and cooked in our Scarborough kitchen. See the full catering menu for everything else we make for events.

Why whole fried chicken is a crowd pleaser

A tray of whole fried chicken is the first thing to disappear at most parties, especially with kids. It is crisp, familiar and easy to portion. Whole fried chicken is made for groups of 10 or more and priced on request, and it also comes inside several of our combos: the Beef Biryani Combo (roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount)) includes whole deep-fried chicken, and several ghee rice combos include fried whole chicken.

For smaller tables

For a family dinner, order Paalandi Half Chicken ($40), a native Sri Lankan classic of crispy chicken cooked down in spices with a yoghurty tang, or Chilli Chicken ($14.99). Ask about our catering trays for 5 to 30 people (small feeds 5 to 8, medium 10 to 15, large 20 to 30).

Allergy notes

Some of our dishes contain egg (kottu, egg masala, watalappan), dairy (yogurt sambal), fish (maasi sambal is made with dried Maldives fish) and nuts (green pea cashew curry). If anyone has an allergy, tell us when you order and we will tell you what to avoid.

Cutting and serving a whole fried chicken

Since we drop off and you serve, plan how the birds will be cut. A whole chicken cut the standard way gives eight pieces: two breasts, two wings, two thighs and two drumsticks. Use kitchen shears and food-safe gloves, and cut breasts in half for smaller portions.

How many birds?

When fried chicken is one item among rice and curries, one or two pieces per guest is usually enough. For 40 guests at about one and a half pieces each, that is 60 pieces, or roughly eight birds. Give us your headcount and we confirm the number and price.
