Important , The Southgate effect: Southgate Mall (JHB) closes at 4:00 PM on Sundays. This shows how dramatically hours vary between locations — a visitor expecting Chicken Licken to be open at 8 PM on a Sunday at Southgate will be disappointed. Mall-based branches follow the mall’s schedule, not a standard Chicken Licken national schedule. Always confirm with your specific branch.
Hours set by the shopping centre, not Chicken Licken. Mall branches close when the mall closes. Sundays and public holidays are typically shortest. Check the mall's website for current hours.
Longest standard hours. Township-area standalone branches often trade until midnight or later. Most likely format for extended evening service without mall restrictions.
Format most likely to be 24 hours. Fly Thru® on national routes and near petrol stations historically trade the longest hours in SA. Fly Thru® guide →
Search "Chicken Licken near me" — each branch shows real-time open/closed status and today's hours. Filter by "Open now" to see only currently trading branches. Most accurate real-time source.
Go to chickenlicken.co.za/find-store → enter your city or postal code → check the hours listed for your nearest branch.
Number appears on Google Maps and the official store finder. Most reliable for public holidays, late nights, and confirming 24-hour status before a trip.
| Public holiday | Typical adjustment | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Standard PH (Heritage Day, Freedom Day, etc.) | Most locations trade normal or slightly reduced hours | Check Google Maps morning of the holiday |
| Christmas Day (25 Dec) | Some close; others trade 10am–6pm reduced hours | Call ahead — most variable trading day of the year |
| Good Friday | Many SA fast food chains reduce hours or close entirely | Assume reduced hours; confirm by calling |
| New Year’s Day (1 Jan) | Normal or reduced hours; some locations close | Check Google Maps for real-time status |
Best practice: Search “Chicken Licken [your city]” on Google Maps on the morning of any public holiday — Google shows “Special hours” for public holidays when available. This is more reliable than calling ahead and more up-to-date than any third-party guide including this one.
