If you've been searching for the best fried chicken on the Sunshine Coast, there's a good chance you've already walked right past it. CHIBURS is a small, chef-run takeaway operating out of Coolum Beach — and we make exactly one thing obsessively well: hand-battered, double-fried chicken with a marinade built over a decade of kitchen work.
This isn't fast food. It's a 10-year marinade. And it shows in every bite.
CHIBURS — Unit 7/1796 David Low Way, Coolum Beach. Open Wed–Sun from 5 PM. Order online at chiburs.com or walk in.
Most fried chicken you'll find in Queensland is battered and fried once. It's fine — but it loses its crunch the moment it hits the bag. At CHIBURS, the chicken goes through a double-fry process: first at a lower temperature to cook through, then a second high-heat fry for that shattering, golden crunch that holds up on the drive home.
The marinade is what took the longest to get right. Developed over 10 years as a professional chef — including time running the kitchen at one of Coolum's top Japanese restaurants — the brine balances salt, sweetness, and depth in a way that flavours the meat all the way to the bone, not just the coating.
CHIBURS keeps the menu tight and focused. Every item is something the kitchen can execute perfectly at high volume — no filler, no menu padding.
The menu changes seasonally. Check chiburs.com for the current lineup before you order.

Fried chicken is at its absolute peak in the first 10 minutes after frying. When you order on the CHIBURS website, the kitchen emails you the moment your order is ~5 minutes from done — so you can time your arrival perfectly. No waiting at the counter, no sitting in a bag going soggy.
The wings are what CHIBURS is built around. If it's your first visit, start there. The double-fry gives them a crunch that holds for longer than standard fried chicken — but they're still best eaten immediately.
Ask for your sauce on the side if you're driving home. Coating the chicken beforehand softens the batter faster. Dipping keeps the crunch intact for the full journey.
Yes — Sushi Ari at David Low Way has a car park directly in front. It's a 2-minute stop. Order online, pull in, grab your food, go. Simple.
Yes — CHIBURS is available on DoorDash for delivery across Coolum Beach and surrounding Sunshine Coast suburbs. For the best quality (especially for wings), pickup is recommended. But if you're at the beach house or hotel and can't make it out, DoorDash is the next best option.
