12 Best Chicken Restaurants in Modesto

“This is the most amazing chicken I have ever had. I have waited so long for them to have a spot in Modesto and now it’s here. The chicken tenders are so juicy and crispy. The homemade sauces will make your tastebuds dance. The owners are such wonderful and hardworking people and deserve all the blessings coming their way. This is a place you want to run to and try. Eat their food just once and you will want to go back frequently. 💜 Absolutely no chicken place can touch the magic that they create with their food.“

“this is a very well run restaurant with very nice people young fresh faces with professional management very consistent chicken not overcooked and definitely beats Popeyes chicken by a longshot - very affordable menu and we have been taken care of on every visit so far I have high hopes for this company“

“I love this place. The food is very good (for fast food), and the service I've gotten has been excellent. The last time I was there was November of 2025, so not that long ago.
I particularly like their chicken strips, potato wedges, and cole slaw. They've got some very tasty dipping sauces. If you're into spicy, I highly recommend you try their yummy Mango Habanero sauce! You can't go wrong here.
Many people do, I know, but most don't realize this used to be a Foster Farms Chicken restaurant, owned and run by them. I ate there regularly back in the 1970's and 1980's, so I have a ton of fond memories of that.
The parking there can vary widely. During Christmas time, for example, finding parking can be difficult. Most times though, parking is plentiful. Go make some memories of your own.

“Absolutely love this KFC location! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. They even let us know about some special offers that helped us save money, which was a nice touch. The chicken was perfectly crispy and packed with flavor..just how KFC should be. Will definitely be coming back!“

“I went into this KFC location and a young woman named Jayden helped me out, and she honestly did a really good job. She was super nice, quick, and made sure everything was right with my order. It stood out because you don’t always get service like that, especially when it’s busy. She made the whole visit smooth and easy.“

“went to KFC yesterday and had such a good experience! Jiselle and Valeria they were both super friendly and patient while I decided what to order. The food came out hot and fresh — the chicken was crispy and the biscuits were amazing. It’s nice to see staff who actually seem happy to help. Thanks again to Jiselle and Valeria for making my visit so pleasant!“

“Ordered through DoorDash! It came hot and fresh! I did take some recommendations from Yelp to try the macaroni and cheese. I took one bite and didn't like it. I also got a blueberry biscuit, not by choice but.. it was freaking yummy. So thank you for the surprise! I will be ordering again! I wanna try that shrimp meal!“

“Chicken is good and it seems to be fresh all the time which is a huge plus. The staff is very friendly which is weird if we talk about chicken sold at a gas station lol
Keep the prices affordable, add more salsa choices and this will be an all time loved here in Modesto.“

“April was such a breath of lovely air, my family THANKS YOU AND ALL THE STAFF THAT MADE OUR LUNCH AMAZING!!! KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU SPECIAL PEOPLE 🤗“
