Q: Is Chicken Cottage Halal?

Chicken Cottage, the UK fried-chicken chain, describes its chicken as halal. As with any chain, check the certificate in your local branch and which standard it follows — for example on stunning.

Also asked as: “Is Chicken Cottage chicken halal?”

Halal chains

Many UK fried-chicken shops serve halal meat, but certification standards differ. Ask which certifier the branch uses if you only eat unstunned meat — see stunned meat.

How to check a branch

Halal status can differ between branches and change over time. Look for the certificate on display, check the brand's own website, and ask staff which items are halal and how they are cooked.

What we found about Chicken Cottage

A halal guide says Chicken Cottage uses HMC-certified chicken at all UK locations, but it cites no certificate and we could not confirm it with HMC. A community directory marks branches as halal on the basis of a visible certificate or the owner's word, and one Camden listing names HMC.

Look for a certificate in the shop with a current date, and ask which body issued it.
