You don’t go to Chickitita for the hype. You go because it’s already earned your trust. Located in Matina Town Square (MTS), Chickitita has built a quiet, loyal following—not from flashy marketing or viral trends, but from consistently delivering boneless chicken that just hits the spot.
It’s the kind of place you bring your friends to on a Friday night. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s familiar, affordable, and always reliable.

This street-style favorite keeps things simple: crispy boneless chicken thighs, served with rice or fries, and drenched in your choice of house-made sauce. No extra fluff, just bold flavor combos that range from sweet and savory to fiery and rich.
Here are some of their standout flavors:
- Salted Egg – sharp, indulgent, and salty in the best way
- Soowon Galbi – Korean-inspired and smoky
- Hickory BBQ – smoky-sweet with a peppery edge
- Spicy Umami Bomb – if you like a kick, this one’s for you
These flavors don’t just coat the chicken, they soak into the crispy skin, which stays crunchy under the sauce. Each serving is generously portioned and priced around ₱115–₱300, making it a solid barkada option or solo comfort meal.
