13 X THE BEST SPOTS FOR THE TASTIEST CHICKEN IN AMSTERDAM
Biscuit Baby
Americans are known for being excellent at frying chicken. And thatโs no different at Biscuit Baby on Kinkerstraat in West. Be prepared because once youโve tasted their fried chicken biscuit, thereโs no going back.

Auberge
Fans of Auberge can rest easy, as this popular restaurant reopened its doors on 1 March, just as you remember it. This time, with the help of Michelin-starred chef Richard van Oostenbrugge, known from Restaurant 212, De Juwelier, and Bistro de la Mer. Theyโre back up and running, including a delicious chicken dish on the menu.

THE Beef Chief
You might know The Beef Chief Amsterdam from their kitchen at the Oedipus Brewery. Unfortunately, that location is temporarily closed until they find a new spot (so you can enjoy their juicy burgers in Noord again). But for chicken lovers, their delicious chicken burger is a must-try.

Brasserie Gossler & Florin
On the Lindengracht, youโll find the classic Brasserie Gossler & Florinย in the building that previously housed Atelier Daalder. The street is lively on weekends, while you can enjoy a peaceful dining experience on weekdays. Their menu combines the timeless charm of classic dishes with modern influences. Think chicken terrine, goat cheese ravioli, beef Wellington, and vanilla flan.

Kimโs So Korean Fusion
Kimโs So Korean Fusionย opened its doors inย Amsterdam East a while ago. This is their second location (the first being Kimโs So Korean Food in Chinatown). They serve Korean cuisine with a modern twist: dishes that blend Korean and international flavours, including a mouth-watering fried chicken. Read more here.

RIJSEL
This place has everything that makes us happy: a vintage interior, an open kitchen, and delicious food. Yes! The roasted chicken with cabbage is our favourite, but weโd happily return for the chocolate mousse with orange slices. And weโre not the only ones! Donโt forget to make a reservation to secure a spot.

Van ‘t Spit
Ooooh! Craving some chicken you can eat with your hands? Van ‘t Spit is the perfect spot for that. We devoured half the chicken with corn and decided to return for the cheesecake another time. Tip: Want tasty chicken but donโt feel like dining out? At Vanโt Spit, you can also order takeaway. Ideal!

Braai
YES! Itโs barbecue time! On South African coals, tender meat cuts are prepared right before you. Love it! The Chicken Piri Piriย is our favourite. And while weโre there… the hummus with grilled vegetables is secretly just as good!
