Justin Bieber visiting Australia and checking out our delicious suburban chicken shops has definitely become a great Aussie tradition, and I am absolutely here for it.

In March the pop star dropped by Mosman’s Chargrill Charlies after wrapping up the local leg of his Purpose tour. Bieber had to be shielded by police as he smashed through his quarter chicken and chips (probably), as dozens of fans watched on.

Biebs’ has been back in Sydney this week for a Hillsong conference, and he decided to round out his trip by ducking into Nando’s in Auburn.

It’s not the first time he’s checked out an Aussie Nando’s. Back in March, before he swung by Sydney’s Chargrill Charlies, Bieber was spotted at a Perth Nando’s.

That’s three Australian chicken pitstops (that we know of) in less than six months. The man is hooked.

And he’s not the only pop star to enjoy a cheeky Nando’s. Ed Sheeran is a noted fan of the chicken franchise, and even has a track called ‘Nando’s Skank’.

Niall Horan once told fans at a One Direction concert his favourite Nando’s order was a “Chicken wrap, double portion of curly chips, five hot chicken wings and corn on the cob”.

While we’re all for pop stars smashing down Nando’s, it’s worth pointing out Sydney has plenty of other excellent chicken options out there. When it comes to Portuguese chicken you can’t go past Silvas and Frangos in Petersham, and if you’re after Lebanese grilled chicken Hawa and El Jannah are both A+.

Next time you’re in town, JB, hit me up and we’ll got on a delicious tour of Sydney’s best chicken.
