Chicken Licken is one of South Africa’s most iconic fast-food chicken brands, founded in 1981 by George Sombonos in Johannesburg. What started as a single restaurant has grown into one of the world’s largest independently owned fried chicken franchises, with a strong presence across South Africa and Botswana.
Famous for its bold flavors, memorable advertising campaigns, and the well-known slogan “Soul Food®,” Chicken Licken has built a loyal customer base over the decades. The brand is especially popular for its spicy fried chicken, unique menu offerings, and commitment to serving independently certified Halaal chicken at its restaurants.
