Local crispy chicken spot opens in trendy Toronto shopping area

A new spot for what many deem the perfect dinner has opened in Toronto.

While this city is known worldwide for its selection of award-winning cuisine from almost every culture imaginable — any food aficionado can tell you — sometimes all you want after a long day is some chicken fingers.

Honestly Good Chicken Fingers, which initially broke onto the scene here in Toronto at Vaughn Mills, has opened a second location in west Toronto’s shopping superstructure, The Stock Yards Village.

“We’ve been fortunate to see support from a wide range of communities at all of our locations, and we’re confident that both visitors to Stock Yards Villages and local West Toronto residents will continue that trend,” said Naomi Kempkes, Co-Founder and President at Honestly Good Chicken Fingers, in an official statement.

Built from the ground up with simplicity in mind, the brand has become known for high-end chicken snacks, made with a perfect blend of herbs and spices, all sourced from local suppliers.

Selections on their menu are designed around these iconic chicken strips and include items that pair them with golden fries, Texas toast, and pickles, as well as some more outside-the-box options.

These include dynamic sandwiches and poutines, all made with their refined and nuanced ‘chicken fingies’ in mind.

“The concept was born in the GTA, so expanding here always carries special meaning for us,” says Kempkes. “The response from guests has been incredible, and it reflects a clear demand for high-quality, simple and well-executed food.

The Stock Yards Village location is currently in a soft opening period, with its formal launch slated for the days ahead.
