The round-up: where to find the best fried chicken in Brisbane

Put down the KFC bucket – no matter how many secret herbs and spices are sprinkled on top, the best fried chicken in Brisbane cannot be found at a fast food joint. Fried chicken is the ultimate comfort food and is exponentially better when made with love and care. Several locales in town are known for crunchy wings and flavoursome fillets, so if you only settle for the best, you are going to want to put these places to the test.

Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand
Destination

Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Descending from a clifftop, I step from the boardwalk and feel the sand between my toes. The view is magical and scenes of Cathedral Cove from the film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian actually flash before my eyes. To my left, a gigantic arched cavern cuts through a white-rock headland to join two secluded coves, and the cathedral-like arch gives the whole area an air of grandeur. The beach is sandy and shady pohutukawa trees line the foreshore. To my right is a freshwater waterfall tumbling directly onto the beach and into a pool, only five meters from lapping waves that trickle out to the ocean. This area is one of many highlights of New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula, starting one-hour south of Auckland.
