Fried chicken craze in Britain gets Channel 4 documentary
Channel 4 has announced details of a new documentary about the recent increase in fried chicken shops and consumption in the UK.
Developed with the working title The Fried Chicken Shop, the show will be filmed in a single shop in South London.
The show will be filmed from fixed cameras, which will capture interviews with customers and staff.
Channel 4 wants the one-off doc to be "surprising and celebratory" and is examining the "cultural and economic urban landscape of modern Britain".
Emma Cooper, commissioning editor at Channel 4, said: "The Fried Chicken Shop will explore the scale of the nation's obsession and increasing love of fried chicken.
"Filmed in one of the UK's popular fried chicken shops and serving the diverse community of London, it has produced a surprising yet exciting and genuinely illuminating film and tells us the story of Britain today through our voracious appetite for chicken wings."
Fried Chicken Shop is being produced by Mentorn Media for Channel 4's flagship documentary brand Cutting Edge.
