About Big Charcoal Chicken

Real-deal lump charcoal does the heavy lifting at this Acacia Marketplace fixture, turning out deeply smoky roast birds with crackling skin. Diners bypass generic supermarket rotisseries for the real thing—whole chickens blistered over genuine coals, dripping with savory juices and paired with hot chips. Drop in at lunch for a charcoal chicken roll or a punchy peri-peri burger, or grab a family mega meal to share back home. Make sure to get a side of the sharp garlic sauce.

  • Barbequed over real charcoal: Roasts whole birds over physical lump coals rather than electric ovens, locking in deep smoke and crisp skin.
  • Feast-ready family packs: Hearty boxes pack whole chickens alongside generous portions of hot chips and sides for quick dinners at home.
  • Lunches on the go: Serves up handheld quick lunches like loaded chicken rolls and seasoned peri-peri burgers.

Why Dine at Big Charcoal Chicken

Why locals choose Big Charcoal Chicken for quick handheld lunches and smoky family takeaway feasts

  • Handheld Rolls and Burgers on the Go

    Quick lunch options feature tender charcoal chicken and spiced cuts served in fresh rolls, burgers, and wraps paired with hot chips.

    The charcoal chicken roll was really tasty and very reasonable price.

  • Real Charcoal Flavour Over Supermarket Chains

    Authentic solid-fuel charcoal cooking imparts a distinct smoky flavour that easily surpasses supermarket deli rotisserie birds.

    The chicken really taste good in charcoal. Better than the one in woolies.

  • Homely and Welcoming Local Experience

    Guests enjoy a welcoming neighbourhood chicken shop feel with attentive service and comforting, homely flavours.

    Much better than Nandos, more homely charcoal flavour. Less salty and natural fresh chicken, highly recommend.

Before you head over

Practical advice for ordering takeaway and getting the best meal experience

  • Plan for Takeaway Rather Than Dine-In

    Seating inside is limited and lacks large tables for groups, so plan to order your meal for takeaway or family dining at home.

  • Eat Fresh and Hot for Crisp Skin

    To keep the seasoned chicken skin at its crispiest, eat your chicken hot right away rather than letting it sit in closed containers.

  • Stick to Whole and Quarter Chickens

    Ordering whole or portioned roast charcoal chickens offers consistent value and quality compared to specialty wraps or mixed sides.
