The GOODS from Freebird Chicken Shack

Vancouver, BC | In early March, Freebird Chicken Shack, the youngest of four eateries from award-winning chef Angus An, will expand and move to a new location at New Westminster’s River Market. Chef Angus has also added to the menu, which in addition to its signature rotisserie chickens, will feature grilled items, a new fried chicken recipe, and a liquor license to be in place by summer.

Taking over the 800-square-foot space previously occupied by Wally’s Burgers at 112 River Market, the new and larger location of Freebird is directly opposite the original. The space will seat 20, with 5 additional stools at the counter.

Known for its Asian-style rotisserie birds, Freebird serves chicken dishes, rice, soups, salads, and curries. The updated menu will grow from featuring organic, free-range roasted chicken to include crispy Fried Chicken in two and three piece orders ($10/$14), and an 8-piece Bucket of Fried Chicken ($25). Grilled Chicken Skewers ($10) will be added to the menu, and Freebird is planning to add liquor to its list, with new drinks offerings in place by the summer.

Freebird Chicken Shack is a sister restaurant to three other restaurants owned by chef Angus An.

Chef Angus’s other restaurants include flagship Maenam in Kitsilano, Longtail Kitchen also at New West’s River Market, and Fat Mao Noodles, a casual noodle joint, serving Thai noodle soups in Chinatown.
