Chicken Republic portions have reduced drastically and the quality is highly inconsistent

I used to be a massive fan of Chicken Republic. Their Refuel Meal was the ultimate savior for a hungry bachelor on a budget. However, my experiences over the last six months across multiple branches in Lagos and Ibadan have been extremely disappointing. The portion sizes of the fried rice and spaghetti have been cut in half, yet the prices keep increasing. The chicken pieces are noticeably smaller, and half the time, the chicken is served lukewarm instead of hot and crispy. The taste is also highly inconsistent; the Jollof rice at the Ikeja branch tastes completely different from the one at the Lekki branch. They are relying too heavily on their past glory and aggressive marketing. They need to go back to the drawing board and fix their quality control before competitors completely take over.

I thought I was the only one who noticed! The Refuel Meal used to come in a big bowl packed to the brim. Now they serve it in those tiny flat packs, and the chicken piece looks like it went on a diet.

The inconsistency is the worst part. The Chicken Republic in Yaba tastes amazing, but the one in my neighborhood serves rice that tastes like it was boiled in plain water with zero seasoning. They desperately need quality control.

To be fair to them, the cost of a bag of rice and a carton of frozen chicken has tripled in Nigeria. They either had to increase the price to 5,000 Naira per meal or reduce the portions. They chose to reduce portions to keep it affordable for students.

Their spicy fried chicken is still the best among all the fast-food chains, but their Jollof rice has completely lost its glory. Sweet Sensation and Kilimanjaro currently have much better rice.

If you order through food delivery apps like Chowdeck or Glovo, the portions are even smaller than when you walk into the restaurant to buy it. Always go and buy it physically if you can.
