Smoky, crackling birds straight off the spit define this Avondale Heights takeaway stalwart. Roasting hens turn slowly over coals, actively basted with savoury herbs while customer orders are carved to spec with extra stuffing on request.

- Continuous Spit Seasoning: Spit-roasted birds are basted throughout the cook for deep flavour, with custom cuts and extra stuffing carved to order.
- Generous Family Feeds: Value-forward packs come piled high with crunchy salted hot chips, roast potatoes, and garlic dip.

The Jack's Charcoal Chicken Advantage
Why Avondale Heights locals choose Jack's Charcoal Chicken for family dinners, gatherings, and hearty lunches
Continuous Rotisserie Spit Seasoning
Birds are continuously basted and seasoned directly on the rotisserie spit, yielding deep flavour beyond the skin along with fall-off-the-bone breast and dark meat.
Even on the spit the owner continues to season the chicken. Full of flavour unlike other spots who only season on a surface level.
