I tried the popular chicken takeaway which has a run in with Elon Musk
A popular takeaway restaurant which specialises in chicken has launched tongue-tingling new menu items ahead of summer.
Colorado's chicken, which is located on Derby Street and opened earlier this year, unveiled its brand new 'peri range' which will be available at both the Bolton and Bury locations.

Our sister paper The Bury Times previously reported on owner Amanj Ali, who had wanted to call his new shop 'Tesla Chicken & Pizza', was hit with a £12,000 bill after losing a trademark battle with Elon Musk's car giant, Tesla.

Speaking to The Bolton News Amanj said: 'The restaurant in Bolton opened around five weeks ago on the first week of April.

'Since then, the response from customers has been extremely positive, the brand is well known in the area and people have travelled from Manchester to come and visit us.
'At the moment our most well-received menu item is the spicy burger. We hope to continue to serve delicious food to Bolton's wonderful community.
"Anyone looking to franchise the restaurant in the UK would be greatly welcomed."
A Lamborghini supercar and fire dancers were also present at the promotional event.
The event was organised by Bolton-based events manager Suraiya Haque.

For spice lovers, the new range at Colorado's is a must-try. I decided to opt for the full spice dip, which gave a tantalising spicy kick with every mouthful.

A range of milkshakes are also on offer for customers, including Oreo, strawberry, Biscoff, KitKat, Snickers and more.

I tried the creamy strawberry milkshake, which was the dreamiest dessert to accompany the sunny weather. If you're looking for some tasty chicken, a spicy kick or looking to try a new lunch spot to visit with friends – Colorado's is definitely worth a try.
