9 Best Chicken Restaurants in Wilmington

“This is the best Chick-fil-A in my area! Their staff is always friendly, the food is almost always made correctly, and is fresh. And they almost always provide plenty of sauce. Ordering on the app and hopping in the drive thru is the way to go! However, if you choose to sit inside, their tables are always clean, staff is walking around and making sure you’re having a good experience!“

“I was sad when the Peruvian chicken went out of business. I’m not sad anymore. Wow! This is some good chicken. Dropped in to grab a menu and decided to get some pieces and a biscuit. Got some bonus fingers as well. The pieces were cooked perfectly with great flavor and juiciness. The biscuits had a subtle sweetness to them. But I was not expecting how much chicken, juice and flavor were in the fingers. They were delicious and very generous on chicken meat. Glad to have stumbled back upon this location and will definitely be stopping in more often.“

“my boyfriend showed me this restaurant three years ago and every time I come to visit him in Delaware I make sure to stop by here and get some wings. This reminds me of the southern comfort food I grew up eating- it gives me homemade feelings when i eat it!!!

“My Daughter and I had the BEST lunch today! I would like to Thank Ms. Ashlie and Mr. Bob for the great service they provided us. My Daughter and I were traveling to a Doctors appointment and not from the area. After the Best Lunch we got in the car to head home. We had 2 hours on the road. I looked back at my daughter and she had a little bag of goodies from you all. She was so excited. She played the whole way home. Thank you all so much for taking a ordinarily lunch and turning it in to a super special one! Thank you!“

“The Fried Chicken (duh!) Walt's Chicken is legitimately incredible fried chicken. The Lincoln Street location, Walt's Chicken Express, run by apprentice-turned-master Larry Fletcher, transcended even the original Walt's Flavor Crisp Chicken. After spending a decade learning from the original founder, Harry Sheppard, Larry opened his own Walt's on the West Side of Wilmington. And he took everything that made Walt's legendary, added his own Master Chef expertise, and elevated the chicken to an even higher plane of existence. You will NOT leave Walt's without already craving more of their fried chicken. It's THAT good. If you've had legitimately amazing fried chicken in Texas or Georgia, and can't tolerate the greasy rubber you always get served in the Northeast, take a sigh of a relief . Walt's is the ONLY chicken shop within 200 miles of Delaware that is legitimately *on par* with the best fried chicken joints in Texas or Georgia Get the fried chicken. White or Dark. Breast or wing; thigh or leg. All of the above. (Just remember to bring back 2-3 pieces for each other person in your home. Even if they "weren't hungry" when you left, they'll be furious you didn't pick them up a 3 piece dinner box) Lastly, don't expect anything special from anything else they serve. Sides, fries, fried shrimp, dessert, whatever else. They range from "decently good" to "mediocre at best." You're not there for cornbread.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at New York Fried Chicken! The chicken was perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the sides were delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely my new go-to spot for comfort food! 5 stars all the way!“

“Food is always delicious. Staff is friendly. Love the beef pepperoni!“

“Believe it or not but Popeyes food isn’t that bad!! Like the reputation isn’t that great but I have never had a problem with the quality, taste, or even prices of Popeyes food. The customer service is great too. I would recommend going to a Popeyes!!“
