I recently visited Lost Boys Chicken, and let me tell you, the only thing "lost" about this place was the chicken. I ordered the large portion for £16, thinking I was in for a feast, but what I got was more like a wing-shaped teaser. These wings were so tiny, I started to wonder if the chicken had been on a strict diet—like, a chicken cleanse, or maybe just skipping leg day. The “Wendy” sauce, though? Now that was decent, like a soft apology from the kitchen for the sad, skeletal wings that arrived. But the size of the chicken? It was so disappointing, I could have sworn I was eating a chicken wing in a magic trick where the chicken just… vanished. I’ve just returned from India, where I had street food that made my stomach do flips, but also gave me food poisoning (great times!). I’ll say this: the street food there had more chicken, and the chicken might’ve been washed with someone's feet, but at least it felt like a full meal. In comparison, this was more like a starter at a fancy restaurant where you leave still hungry and with regrets. If Lost Boys Chicken swapped to thighs or maybe just grew their wings a little, they could actually have something here. For now, it’s just a place where sauce gets more attention than the chicken. Shame, because that sauce was decent. But alas, I won’t be winging my way back anytime soon.
