Fried chicken is a popular dish in the Caribbean, and Barbados is no exception. Here are ten of the best places to get your fried chicken fix:
- Chicken Rita’s, Silver Sands

While the food is being freshly cooked, you’ll have the chance to sit back, enjoy a couple of drinks and some good conversation. The seasoning recipe at Rita’s has been handed downs for generations and utilises locally grown herbs.
- Lemon Arbour (The Village Bar), St. John Parish
All food served at The Village Bar (known by locals as Lemon Arbour) comes from Bajan family recipes. Take away your fried chicken or eat in and enjoy Atlantic Ocean views. Its origin as a rum shop has resulted in it being a particularly popular venue to lime on a Saturday.
- Oistins Fish Fry, Oistins
Although you’ve probably already been tempted by the delectable local fried fish at Oistins, it’s worth another visit to try their tasty fried chicken. Oistins has karaoke two nights a week and is the best place on the island for Friday-night liming.
