We tried out The Sidemen’s fried chicken shop here’s what we thought [Video]

London has a lot of fried chicken shops.

But only one of them has been brought to you by YouTube’s most successful collective: The Sidemen.

An internet phenomenon that includes rapper turned boxer KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams ‘JJ’ Olatunji -the group is made up of seven individuals who all rose to fame on the video-sharing platform during the early stages of online stardom.

They’ve since branched out into a clothing brand, charity football matches and have even just had a Netflix documentary made about them.
