Home grown Abu Dhabi fried chicken joint spreads its wings to Dubai

Only the best chicken can fly!

Chickens are not blue – not the last time we looked anyway – and they have wings, but can’t fly, yet these chickens are both blue and can fly!

That’s not strictly true of course but BLU CHKN that began life as a pop-up in Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi, has now spread it wings and is now officially open in Dubai.

Chef Khaled, one of the capital’s best-known chefs,  joined forces with Alia Al Mazrouei  back in May 2021 to launch BLU CHKN over at Yas Mall on Yas Island, which is still serving finger-licking crispy chicken delights today… and no, they’re not blue!

Abu Dhabi’s Chef Khaled is no stranger on Abu Dhabi’s culinary circuit and is the brains behind the under-the-radar dishes being served at Fae Restaurant located in Abu Dhabi’s Youth Hub.

Now, Chef Khaled’s BLU CHKN has come home to roost in Al Khawaneej, Jumeirah Beach, Dubai where it’ll be serving up the perfect bites to beach goers.

Here in Abu Dhabi, we’re already familiar with the catchy names of the dishes and know our friends in Dubai are going to love them too.

Mamma Mia, Spice Afghani, K-Pop and the Classic Blu – all filled with deliciously fried chicken breast, fresh vegetables, home-made sauces and freshly baked brioche bun are on the menu, as well as chicken bites, chicken tenders, chicken salad, chicken rolls and sides of fries, not to mention the signature Blu Fries with fried chicken breast and a whole array of delicious sauces too!

So, next time you head to Dubai and are missing your favourite BLU CHKN favourites, you know where to go! 

You heard it here first!
