Finger-lickin’ chicken – Surfers Paradise welcomes cult-fave chook nook Pappa Flock
If you’ve ever found yourself with a hankering for good-old-fashioned comfort food with a serious flavour punch, your prayers have been answered. Sydney-born fried-chicken favourite Pappa Flock has officially spread its wings to the Gold Coast, bringing its famous tenders, buttery toast and zingy lemonade to Paradise Centre, in the heart of Cavill Avenue.
Pappa Flock isn’t your average takeaway joint – it’s fried chicken with cult status. The crew here take the primo protein seriously, hand-battering 100-percent preservative-free chicken tenderloins and frying them until crisp, golden perfection. Each serve lands with a side of seasoned chips, a slab of glistening buttery toast and signature special sauce for dunking.
The Flock Box is the headliner, three juicy tenders, crispy chips, toast, sauce and a drink, while the crispy-chicken sandwich might just be our newest cluckin’ obsession (think fluffy bread, pickles and that iconic sauce). There’s also a line-up of loaded fries, wraps and bowls, plus a freshly squeezed house lemonade to wash it all down.
