Kia Ora! Passionately conceptualised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the first Chicking® outlet was established in the year 2000, and since then, our brand has grown to become extremely popular in over 35 countries with more than 315 outlets.

This impressive growth was achieved by understanding what families prefer. We are also a big favourite amongst individuals who are looking for a tasty alternative to formulaic fast food.
