Joy Time Kitchen is looking for a part-time Fry Cook / Prep Cook to help with our weekly chicken production at our commercial kitchen in Chantilly.

Previous experience working with a commercial fryer in a restaurant or commercial kitchen is required.

The main job is preparing and frying chicken for our Orange Chicken. We have an established process and will train you on our specific recipe and frying method, but we need someone who is already comfortable operating a commercial fryer and working with hot oil.

Once you are fully trained and able to work independently, the weekly schedule can be flexible based on your availability.

Pay: $18–$25/hour, depending on commercial fryer experience and ability to work independently.
