David Adjey is opening a new chicken-centric restaurant on Spadina

Doing one thing well seems to be the motto for many Toronto restaurants these days, and now David Adjey is looking to get in on some of the action. The celebrity chef (Restaurant Makeover, Iron Chef America) is teaming up with Danny Farbman (What A Bagel) to open The Chickery, an upcoming Spadina restaurant serving chicken, sides and not much else.

The Chickery is billed as a premium-quality QSR (in other words, a fast food restaurant) focused on rotisserie chicken that’s brined, rubbed and flame-roasted. Adjey tells us the chickens are sourced from the esteemed Beretta Organic Farms and will be available in various incarnations, including sandwiches, chicken salads, quesadillas and more.

A selection of nine sides could include shoestring fries or collard greens. The restaurant will also do delivery.

The Chickery is planning for a soft opening later this week before officially opening on May 1.

The Chickery, 130 Spadina Ave., 647-347-2222
