More infoThunderbird is the small, slightly cramped Cook Street Village spot that runs a 4.6 across hundreds of reviews and couldn't care less about the crowding. The chicken is the whole point: double-fried, shatteringly crispy, glazed in soy garlic or sweet-and-spicy. You'll share a basket, wear the sauce, and inevitably get talked into a Megan croffle for dessert. Order more than you think, and expect to fight over the last piece.
It's a tiny room with a big reputation, so expect a short wait and order more than feels reasonable, get one soy garlic, one sweet-and-spicy, and let the double-fried crunch settle the debate over which is better. Don't miss the Megan croffle for dessert; someone always caves. Budget a little over an hour, then spill out into Cook Street Village, one of Victoria's most walkable pockets, and keep wandering.
