50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Stanton

“Wow—this place absolutely delivered.

Tina helped me out, and I’ve got to say… she nailed it. I love seriously hot food, and I’ve never really had anything that felt “too hot,” so I asked her for something that would actually bring the heat. Tina guided me to the perfect choice and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. I even asked for my fries to be extra crispy—basically burnt—and she went all the way to the back to explain it exactly right.

And now the food…

Just look at it—loaded, saucy, and absolutely stacked. Some places are just “hot” for the sake of being hot—but this was different. That legendary hot sauce is the real deal. It actually had me tearing up (in the best way possible) with every bite. It was intense, but still packed with flavor—not just heat.

The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly, and the fries—thanks to Tina—came out exactly how I asked.

Also, shoutout to the cook in the back (didn’t catch her name), because Tina made sure everything was communicated perfectly, and it showed. That kind of teamwork doesn’t go unnoticed.

Honestly, if someone has a bad experience here, I’d have to think they just didn’t communicate what they wanted—because when you do, they absolutely deliver.

I’ll definitely be back.“

“The food is pretty good, with a huge variety and different ways to dine in with chicken. I especially love their sauces, its to die for. I loved the service as well, I had a worker named Rory who brightened my day with small talk. Not only that they were able to get my order up fast and easy with no complications and even after giving me my food, a big 'ol thank you and have a nice day from Rory made me feel comfortable in the space. All and all amazing place to dine for fast food- would try again!“

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back earlier next time 😊🫶“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“Exelente servicio pollo campero un buen sabor“

“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!“

“You know you’re going to have a good time when you see the infamous bee mascot and smell the fried chicken aroma as you get close to Jollibee. It has been a true staple every time I have visited Filipino friends, gone to a Filipino party, or just wanted some good fried chicken.

The service every time I have visited here has been consistent. They’re friendly and get the orders right every time. Good job to the team and management at this location!

The food here I have noticed has been a bit inconsistent compared to other locations. The fried chicken is sometimes too salty. Overall, not a huge deal but it is something I have noticed.

If you’ve never tried Jollibee before, do yourself a favor and go! Make sure to get the spicy fried chicken (if you’re a fan of spice or even if you’re not since it’s not really spicy at all) and the mango pie. Thank me later!“

“Came in at night to do take out for first time. They got a buy one get another 50% off for sushi rolls so I got the caterpillar and crunch roll. Also wanted to try their chicken sliders too so I got one.

Very tasty rolls. The slider came with cole slaw on it and it was very nice sweet and spicy. Also got a freebie from the lady I ordered from. Will post pictures when I go again.“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“was amazing. First. Moist fried 🍗. Mom and Pop place. check them out..“

“First time at this location and it did not disappoint. Great food and service!“

“I showed up at 10:09. It opened at 10:00 and already had 2 people at a table and 4 in line ahead of me. I ordered the Yaho Special with salmon substitute and shrimp. Both the grilled salmon and shrimp were wonderful. I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I'm craving grilled salmon or shrimp.“

“I absolutely adore Jackson’s Chix tenders! If you’re in downtown Fullerton, you definitely need to stop by. The restaurant has such a great vibe, and the food is simply fantastic. The staff is amazing“

“Great management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“Muy buen servicio y el pollo muy bueno“

“chicken tortilla soup very good“

“I haven’t been there in years but tonight we decided to go tonight it did not disappoint. The chicken is yummy.“

“This chicken is absolutely AMAZING. I am gluten free and very much enjoyed the 50/50 plate with the regular and sweet and sour. SO GOOD. Even better - I have now found a fried chicken place to share with friends who don't have gluten issues. I'd share a picture... but it smelled so good, I forgot to take one and we ate it all.“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

“I’ve ordered from this place 7 to 10 times and finally figured out. I should probably review it. I only order takeout. Never had an issue with my order and the people who give me my order when I pick it up are nice. Never have had an issue with the chicken. The fries are actually really good. I’ve ordered the boneless and the bone in wings and they’re always excellent.“

“We were recommended to this place by some friends, so we decided to give it a try. We walked in and were immediately greeted, asked if we knew what we wanted. We said we needed a coyote of minutes, but the gentleman said no problem, but answered some questions we had. We ordered the chicken skins, hush puppies and the #1 with light meat (breast and a wing with potato wedges and a roll). The hush puppies were so flavorful, no need for a dipping sauce. The chicken skins were huge and also very flavorful. I finally got to my chicken because it was so hot, I'm not sure because I had the other stuff, but the chicken wasn't as flavorful as the other stuff I had. The potato wedges were good, very hot as well. We will be back! Good value for what you get!“

“Tried the half chicken meal and the $1 chicken tacos. Plenty of food at a good price, salsa and homemade tortillas included. Order at counter and take out was ready quickly, friendly service. All tasted good and recommend! They also have churros and Thriftys ice cream.“

“Great price for their combo meals.

We got 2 order of the combo wings. The combo comes with 1 medium size pizza, 12 wings, and 1 liter soda of choice.

You’re able to choose 2 sauces for the wings and we got mango habanero, lemon pepper, honey garlic, and something else. For the pizza, we got bulgogi and Hawaiian.

On top of that I ordered the dumpling and rice cake soup which was pretty good. However, there were only like 6 dumplings and lots of rice cake that couldn’t be finished. Towards the end of the soup, it started getting a bit saltier as well.

The price you pay for the amount of food you get is decent. Flavors are good as well. I think the only complaint is that they drench their chicken in sauce which isn’t my preference when eating Korean fried chicken.“

“The food here is delicious 🤤 Definitely a must try for anyone who loves Nashville hot chicken sandwiches“

“For Mothers Day We ordered the Jumbo Meal 3 Chickens and All 3 xl sides Potato Salad because we had rice and beans at the house. It was amazing as always still hot after a 20 minute drive. My in-laws picked it up and drove it down to South County for a visit. It fed 9 people and we got seconds. The Potato salad here is the best! I could eat it every other day. Such an amazing texture. I have gone to other chicken spots and they are good but Juan Pollo is the best.“

“First time checking this place out with the family this afternoon. Delicious spicy chicken, family friendly, and the kindest staff that make you feel like home. Hoping you get a location in San Francisco one day! 🙏🏼“

“The best deal for a party. They supply dishes, utensils and napkins. Not to mention tortillas & salsa’s. Nothing left for you to do but sit back and enjoy.👍 the chicken is fabulous ❤️“

“Outstanding chicken recipes and boba milk tea is to die for !“

“Now’s famous potato with chicken!“

“Delicious, juicy, chicken with exceptional service. I have never been so satisfied with a fast food chain. $35 easily feeds a family of 4 which is a hard deal to beat. My kids like the fried chicken better, but don't sleep on the roasted chicken because it is so flavorful.“

“Nice lunch/takeout spot in the area. It is one of the reliable go-to place in the area.

Hainan chicken is nice and definitely lighter meals to go for. Fried is solid but better chances when the owner makes them himself. The price point is very approachable and nice. However, I find this place inconsistent with portion and service time-to-time.

I know big chains can be reliable but we need more restaurants like this that could provide you something different and wider options. I hope this place does well.“

“After a fun, family day at the park, we headed over to Knott’s Chicken Dinner. There were 7 of us. Our daughter in law gave us a heads up that the portions are big and sharing is a great way to go. The menu has a wide variety of chicken choices. My wife and I got the roasted chicken. It was AMAZING! The rest of the group got chicken fried steak and fried steak. All DEE-LISH! Dessert is included and we had boysenberry pie and boysenberry ice cream! Beyond good!! But aside from the food, the real highlight of our meal experience was our wonderful waitress Belinda.! She was the best. Friendly and attentive and worked hard to keep our group happy. She went above and beyond with us when we inquired as to whether we could get some of that boysenberry ice cream to go. She went back and chatted with her manager and was able to find a solution for us. We were able to leave the restaurant with about a pint of that delicious ice cream. It was a great family, dining experience and again, Belinda just made it that much more special! Hopefully when you go to eat there, she is your waitress.“

“Chicken was really good and crispy. We’ll be back. Pickled veggies on sandwich really good“

“Just right. We were a party of four. We were seated immediately. Being from North Carolina I was excited they had great sweet tea! The hot buttered biscuit sandwiches were delicious. I also got a buckwheat wafflw that was perfect. Another in the group got the chicken tenders. The breading was crispy and delicious. It came with a waffle that they said was amazing. The third order was chicken chili over white rice. Also a big hit. Lastly was the red beans, rice and corn bread. They were all large portions. Rosco's offered both regular and sugar free syrup and their own hot sauces. Service was top notch.“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“So good! I got the crunchy garlic chicken wings but the cheese balls OMGG sooooo amazing I was not expecting how good they were crispy deep fryed in a very slightly sweet batter filled with a chewy melted white cheese! I feel its a must try!“

“the best chicken 🐔 at a great price don't have these in the Northeast“

“I love Pollo Campero. It’s been over 45 years since I last enjoyed their EXQUISITE chicken.

What a surprise to randomly find them as I was driving. My lucky day.

Huge congratulations to the corporation that grew from 1 store to now several hundred locations. You make the world’s best fried chicken.“

“Started coming here when my dad would take the family it's been 10 yrs now still amazing food (posting after 8 years) food quality still amazing just wish they kept the old containers for the teriyaki plates the new eco friendly ones break apart too easily and rice sticks to the bottom“

“The food was so good!!! And lots of food for the price :)“

“You know, Korean style chicken has evolved over the past decades in Korea itself and the market’s saturated with many brands more popular than Pelicana, but Peicana was one of THE original brands known for their spicy seasoned chicken (yang nyum)

I have not tried any other Pelicana locations, and I have no particular comment for their regular fried chicken, but the spicy original seasoned chicken at this particular Artesia location is VERY good with generous sauce on the bottom of the box to dip in any portions that you want more of it on. My hubby says it tastes just like what he used to have back in the days (tho he is more of a Kyo chon consumer in Korea, but here in the States this is his favorite). So I would say (for those who like ‘em of course) just get the original spicy seasoned chicken and you won’t fail. Plus the lady who runs the place is very, very nice — three times we bought from her though she doesn’t seem to remember (-;“
