Belles Hot Chicken, Barangaroo

I love that food brings people together. It’s part of the reason why I love blogging so much, it’s a chance to catchup and bond over food! Helen and I organised the 8th Annual Sydney Food Bloggers Meet Up at Belles Hot Chicken in Barangaroo because well, fried chicken!

Flat lay 😛  Belles Hot Chicken is now a permanent fixture on the Wulugul Walk in Barangaroo, with a whopping 130 seat capacity. There’s house made sweet tea and lemonade and they’re licensed with beers on tap and have a nice range of natural wines. Order and pay at the window, then grab a seat and try not to drool as the scent of fried chicken envelopes your senses.

The Baller Bucket ($65) includes 16 Wings, 4 Sides & 4 Sauces. We’ve gone for half Southern style and half with Medium spice. The chicken is just as amazing as I remember, incredibly juicy meat and a crisp coating that shatters my world (and all over my dress because I’m the worlds messiest easter). Also, there’s just something so incredibly satisfying reaching into the bucket and pulling out a wing!

Sides! Coleslaw and Mixed Bean Salad

And Fries and Pickles. No pics of the sauces but we got: Belles Blue Cheese (fave!), Belles Ranch Dressing, Peach BBQ sauce and Mississippi Comeback.

Surprisingly one of my favourite things at Belles is the Fried Mushrooms haha they’re just so fricken tasty! You can order the mushrooms individually for $4 a pop but we decided to get a normal serve ($14) which came with a choice of sides and ordered the Broccoli & Almond salad so we could try all the sides from the menu. Seriously though these mushrooms are the absolute bomb- they’re crumbed and fried to a glorious crunch but are still ridiculously juicy.

The Chicken and Waffles ($20) are only available on the weekend and it’s fan bloody tastic! I know some people don’t understand the whole sweet and savoury thing but I’m telling ya, this just works! The waffles are fluffy, with crisp edges and perfect for soaking up the chicken juices and lashings of maple syrup.

The Chicken Ribs ($14) are lip smackingly delicious. There’s a fair amount of meat on the ribs which are drenched in a sticky and sweet peach bbq sauce and the slice of devils bread is perfect to mop up the juicy remnants.

Hiiiiiiii! I’m so glad that our community of bloggers are such a friendly bunch, it was so lovely to see everyone and thanks ya’ll for coming! The list:
