Book NowAbout OZ Chicken
OZ Chicken is an old-school Emerton milk bar-era takeaway counter dishing out crunchy fried chicken and heaping packs of chips. Western Sydney regulars rely on the kitchen for unfussy family dinners that skip the corporate fast-food markup. The real pull sits beyond standard poultry packs—think golden, deep-fried battered mushrooms and hot chips dusted in the shop's signature lemony chicken salt, paired with tubs of rich potato and gravy.
- Deep-Fried Battered Mushrooms: Golden, crunchy battered whole mushrooms served hot by the pack alongside classic takeaway sides.
- Lemony Chicken Salt Chips: Freshly fried chips generously coated in a distinct, citrus-tinged house chicken salt blend.
- Budget Weekday Specials: Generous weekday chicken and chip meal deals priced to feed the family without the spend.
