“UNPERTURBED I CHASED THE DREAM, TRAVELLING THE SOUTH AND EATING A LOT OF FRIED CHICKEN AND BBQ
ALONG THE WAY; IT WAS FOOD THAT DIDN’T REALLY EXIST IN THE UK AT THE TIME, AND I WAS HOOKED…”

about us

Fried chicken is incredible, but we believe that there’s room for improvement.When Thunderbird started we had one goal in mind: Create the most crave-worthy chicken in town, and that’s the same goal we have today. We’re inspired by classic American fried chicken recipes; we scientifically break them down, understand them, and reimagine them into something new and distinctly Thunderbird.

The story of Thunderbird Fried Chicken started out behind the wheel of a racing car, strangely.I had been racing across the UK and Europe in open-wheel cars and Porsches when an opportunity to race in the USA in NASCAR presented itself. I leapt at the chance and moved to the Deep South, but almost immediately found that the financial climate was spiralling downwards.

During this time, I was looking for that one special thing that would catapult me forward and it came in the form of wings.Three months after putting them on the menu, they won the award for the Best Buffalo Wings in London at WingFest. Building on that success, I chose to close down BBQ Lab and focus on creating the best fried chicken I possibly could.Thunderbird Fried Chicken was born in March 2017. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength.
