Chicken Inn apologises for selling bad food at city outlet
Fast food restaurant Chicken Inn has apologized after being accused of selling ‘rotten’ food in one of its outlets in the city
The apology was prompted by video posted on Twitter by vlogger Xtian Dela that has since gone viral.
The video captures a female customer complaining about a potato chip that she bought at a Chicken Inn outlet located in Two Rivers shopping mall.
The customer opened up the potato chip to reveal black objects inside, which she claimed were dead worms.
Xtian Dela also shared his own experiences with food bought at the fast food restaurant.
“If you love your life, AVOID Chicken Inn like a PLAGUE!!…They sold me rotten chicken wings on two separate occasions. The Westlands Oil Libya branch, opposite Sankara. To make matters worse, I had bought like 10 boxes, for my friends. This particular case doesn’t shock me,” tweeted Xtian Dela.
