crafting the best fried chicken sandwich in copenhagen

At Sidechick, we embarked on a mission to elevate the simple street food classic—the chicken burger—into something truly special. Founded by the team behind Zahida, our vision was to take a humble, familiar dish and reimagine it with the same innovation and care that had become our hallmark at Zahida.

Sidechick was born out of a passion for creating high-quality food experiences in Copenhagen. After successfully experimenting with traditional Pakistani dishes at Zahida and adding Nordic twists, we wanted to explore a new avenue. The idea of taking fried chicken, an international favorite, and giving it a culinary makeover appealed to us. The goal was to not only deliver an incredible burger but also to craft something that stood out in the competitive world of fast-casual dining.

Our journey started with an obsession for detail—every ingredient, spice, and technique was carefully considered. We source fresh, high-quality chicken, seasoned with a unique blend of spices, and fry it to crispy perfection. However, the magic doesn’t stop there. We pair our fried chicken with house-made sauces, fresh vegetables, and soft, buttery buns to create a balanced and satisfying burger that bursts with flavor.

While we wanted to stay true to the essence of street food, our goal at Sidechick has always been to offer an elevated experience. Instead of just serving another chicken sandwich, we took the time to refine our recipe, experimenting with flavor combinations and textures until we found the perfect harmony. The result is a menu that features a range of options, from classic crispy chicken sandwiches to spicy variations that pack a punch. Each burger is crafted with the same level of care and attention to detail that you’d expect from a top-tier restaurant.

What makes Sidechick special is our commitment to simplicity and quality. While we wanted to keep the menu straightforward, our goal was to ensure that each item on it exceeded expectations. From the first bite, customers can taste the difference in the quality of the ingredients and the expertise behind the cooking. Whether it’s a classic fried chicken burger or a bold, spicy variant, we’ve taken a street food favorite and given it a touch of finesse without losing the comfort-food appeal.

Sidechick has become a popular spot in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, attracting people who crave a delicious yet simple meal with a twist. Like Zahida, our focus on elevating ordinary dishes through creativity and culinary craftsmanship is at the core of what we do. With each burger we serve, we continue our mission to transform everyday meals into something extraordinary, one juicy bite at a time.

As we look to the future, our commitment to quality and innovation remains as strong as ever. Whether you’re a fan of classic comfort food or seeking a more adventurous dining experience, Sidechick promises to deliver a fried chicken burger that’s beyond your expectations
