  • February 1, 2013

The Fried Chicken Shop: Life In A Day is a documentary series that explores the everyday life of a fried chicken shop in Clapham, London. In the first episode, we are introduced to the shop's owner, Turkish born Amoo, and his staff who work long hours to keep the customers happy.

Amoo takes us on a tour of his shop and shows us how he prepares the chicken, the recipe he uses and how he marinates it. The chicken is the star of the show and the customers come from far and wide to try it out. The team work like a well-oiled machine, each person taking on a different role, from the person who greets the customers to the person who cooks the chicken.

We also get to meet some of the customers, who all have different stories to tell. There's Simon, an ex-offender who comes to the shop for his daily fix of chicken and chips. He says it reminds him of his time in prison, where chicken was a luxury item. Then there's Jackie, a mum of three who comes to the shop for a quick meal after a long day at work. She loves the food and the friendly atmosphere, and often brings her children along with her.

Throughout the episode, we get to see the busy life of the shop, from the busy lunchtime rush to the quieter evening crowds. We see the staff deal with challenging customers, messes in the shop and difficult orders. But throughout it all, the team remain professional and committed to giving the customers the best possible experience.

As the day draws to a close, we see Amoo and his staff start the cleaning process, tidying up the shop and preparing for the next day. It's clear that running a chicken shop is hard work, but there's a sense of pride and camaraderie amongst the team that makes it all worth it.

The Fried Chicken Shop: Life In A Day is an insightful look into the world of fast food and the people who work hard to keep it running. It's a testament to the power of good food and the community that can be built around it. Episode 1 sets the scene perfectly, introducing us to the characters and showing us what makes the chicken shop so special. A must-watch for foodies and anyone interested in the workings of a small business.
