Red Rooster started as a roast chicken shop in 1972 and still builds its menu around the chook.
The first Red Rooster opened in Kelmscott, Western Australia, in 1972. The menu now runs to 104 items across roast chicken, fried chicken, burgers and rolls, boxes, shared meals, sides, desserts and drinks.
Roast and fried sit side by side. You can order a whole roast chicken for $16.95 or fried chicken by the piece from $3.95, in original, Hot Honey or Reds Hot.
Every store is owned by a local franchisee, which is why a few prices and items can differ from one suburb to the next.
This handbook pulls the numbers together so you can order with confidence.

Red Rooster says its chicken is Halal certified at the supplier, though the stores themselves are not Halal certified.
