Fried chicken, purchased from a fried chicken take-away store but not KFC. Very cheap, greasy, and tasty as hell. Ubiquitous in the UK, especially in lower socio-economic areas. Dirt chicken stores often have names like 'Chicken Cottage', 'Texas Fried Chicken' or 'Southern Fried Chicken', and the colours and logo's of the signs may imitate KFC. Can also be shortened to 'dirt'. The term originated due to the perceived lower quality of the product compared to KFC (owing to the cheaper price), and because of the 'dirty' appearance of the stores in question. For this reason, 'dirt' may be applied to other take-away foods where the price is low and hygiene questionable, eg, 'dirt curry', 'dirt kebabs'.
