This new fried chicken spot in Toronto is serving up some unique dishes, and they're certainly eye-catching. You can bite into colourful cutlets in a variety of flavours, and you'll want to snap a few photos before devouring these.

Chickaron offers fried chicken in authentic Taiwanese flavours. The venue recently opened in Scarborough, and it's the very first location in North America, although more are expected to open in the future.

The chicken is served with a colourful coating made of natural flavours. There are tons of different kinds to choose from, so it won't be your usual fried chicken experience.

There are nine colours available, as well as three classic-style chicken cutlets. You can get Tomato, Turmeric, Purple Yam, Matcha, Monascus (East Asia red rice), Roselle (a type of flowering plant in the genus hibiscus), Gardenia (a type of plant from the coffee family), Cuttlefish, and Pumpkin.

As for the classic styles, you can get Original (covered with sweet potato powder), Crunchy (covered with breadcrumbs and egg) and Honey Special (with a special house-made sauce).

The chicken is also marinated to bring out extra flavour. From bright yellow to purple and blue, you can eat the rainbow at this new spot.

This isn't the only place to find colourful food in Toronto. You can get rainbow poutine from Enchanted Poutinerie, and it will make your meal magical.

If you're craving fried chicken, this colourful new spot is worth checking out for some unique dishes.
