As per the title.

If one travels to Durbz & Jozi we see that Chicken Licken is a household name in those parts as well as the rest of the country. Look at the clever ad campaigns as well.

In Cape Town it has zero gravitas for as long as I can remember.

Just 2 measly branches & even then the food (for some reason) does not taste as good as the food from the branches I had in Durbz.

So what's the deal...honestly never understood it.
 
One just opened near my office in Mowbray. Long queue outside.

Ages back used to love me some Chicken Licken, in our town it was far better than KFC which tasted like they added too much batter, the Chicken Licken tasted more like actual chicken.
 
I have gone to the Chicken Licken quite a lot in the past 3 years(Adderley str). They have the best chicken wings and sometimes I am in the mood for their hot chicken.
 
I suspect the lack of Chicken Licken is in part due to the snobbery of Capetonians. We have it with some Joburgers as well who will choose to eat oily, but dry chicken meat from KFC before degrading themselves with Chicken Licken.
