🍗 Chez Koukou keeps things simple, and that’s its strength. The menu is built around fried chicken, and while the selection isn’t expansive, what Chez Koukou offers is executed with care and consistency. This isn’t a place for endless choices, but it’s a spot for fried chicken done right — with a few solid supporting options. Portions are generous, the food is filling, and service is quick whether you’re dining in or ordering out.

Start with the basics. The fried chicken is a standout, whether you go for the strips or the classic pieces. The chicken comes out hot, crispy, and golden — and the coating has just the right crunch to it. There’s a kick of spice that builds without overpowering the flavor, making it easy to keep going back for more.

It’s also great for sharing. Chez Koukou has several meals that make it easy to order for a family dinner or casual get-together. Whether you’re loading up on buckets of strips or classic chicken, this is the kind of food that’s best enjoyed with company.

Not in the mood for fried? The grilled ranch chicken sandwich is a solid choice. The chicken is tender and flavorful, with a smoky edge that pairs nicely with the ranch sauce.

Then there’s the rozroz — a rice and chicken combo that tries to expand the menu’s scope. The rice is packed with flavor, though perhaps a bit too much. The spice blend leans on the heavy side, occasionally competing with the chicken rather than complementing it.

The only real drawback is the menu’s narrow scope. Outside the fried chicken and a handful of sandwich or rice options, there’s not a lot to explore. But what they do serve, they do with care — and that alone makes it worth trying.

Get it wherever you are: You can dine at Chez Koukou’s branches at Maadi’s The Field and Palm Hills in 6 October. The fried chicken joint also delivers through Talabat, El Menus, and their website, as well as through their hotline 16737 across Greater Cairo and the North Coast.
