Burnaby chicken wars heat up with 24-hour Metrotown eatery

I never actually stop craving fried chicken. My body is in an eternal craving mode for crispy, juicy chicken thighs and drumsticks that aren’t greasy.

I never actually stop craving fried chicken. My body is in an eternal craving mode for crispy, juicy chicken thighs and drumsticks that aren’t greasy.

Fried chicken just reminds me of sitting in a park on a sunny afternoon having a picnic with people I love.

So it’s nice to know that my eternal craving for fried chicken can be satiated anytime, day or night, just five minutes from my Burnaby home.

And now that chicken is being offered at even more Burnaby locations.

Hi Five Chicken has set up at a new 24-hour location at 4361 Kingsway in the Metrotown neighbourhood.

Despite being in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hi Five Chicken has expanded.

The company recently added another new location at Hastings and Warwick, just east of Holdom in North Burnaby.

Hi Five Chicken is currently also located in southeast Burnaby on 10th Avenue and these eateries are open 24 hours a day.

So three locations to take on Church’s Chicken and the new Pelicana, which offers Korean-style fried chicken in North Burnaby next to Lougheed Town Centre mall.

The Hi Five menu offers sandwiches, salads and wraps, but chicken, of course, is its calling card, with organic and spicy options.

You don’t have to go fried with the baked options, but I can’t imagine turning down the chance for fried chicken.

It’s just too good.
