There’s no doubt that their chicken is, by far, the most popular item on their menu. The 1/4 Chicken & Chips is one of the absolute classic lunch time meals. It’s delicious, fills you up, and doesn’t leave a dent in your wallet.

Speaking of chips, they’re probably second on the top-rated list. No idea how they make them or what seasoning they put on top…but Red Rooster definitely make some of the best chips in Australia (at least for a fast food joint). Almost, almost, coming in on top over KFC’s wonderful chip seasoning.

Red Rooster’s Roots

Originating in the outer skirts of Perth, WA, in a little suburb called Kelmscott, way back in 1972 – surprisingly, Red Rooster wasn’t always called Red Rooster.

The Kailis family, the founder of the now Red Rooster, opened and named the first store, naming it ‘Big Rooster‘. Together, they ran the small fast-food chicken chain for a cool 9 years before selling the business to Myer Emporium (now part of Coles Myer) in 1981.

A short 5 years later and Big Rooster became Red Rooster whilst travelling across the Nullarbor Plains to open their first restaurants on the East Coast.

Red Rooster Store

Following 20 years of solid growth with their juicy fried chicken reaching the mouths of millions of Aussies, Red Rooster was sold to Australian Fast Foods, who also owned competing chicken joint – Chicken Treat.

After a few more sales during the late 2000s, and the Red Rooster chain fetched $450 million in 2011 to be sold to Archer Capital.

Archer manages more than $2 billion in investment funds in Australia. And under the ‘craveable’ brand, own Red Rooster, along with Chicken Treat and Oporto.

Red Rooster currently sits comfortably with 359 stores across the country,  with 95% of these locations franchised to local operators.
