“Great atomosphere cool concept like how they call out the alcohol and food orders when Ready. The pimento Mac was great flavor, as was the mashed and gravy. Very unique to have boneless breast thighs wing and leg portions battered and fried. Was very good. I just think the sauces were way to pricey at $1.45 a sauce wow even 99 cents seems a lot but would feel better lol. At least give one with the order or reduce the sauce price. But overall they need to spread this concept into more areas for sure out side like in the suburbs“

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!“

“I have dined at this location many times and always have good experience.

Today Liz and Kody went above and beyond — from making sure food was not brought out when I was not at my table (I am a woman, by myself, and needed to use the restroom so I informed them and asked them not to bring food out if I am not there), and helping with minor mishaps even though they did not have to. They are also very patient with other customers.

Food is amazing as always.

You are literally the best location in Chicago. Keep up the good work!“

Remember Harold's Chicken not Harold's Chicken shack that's something different... Now this is my fav and when ever we come to Illinois I definitely will be back....Thanks“

“Excellent Customer Service (That's important),
The Spicy Garlic Soy Sauce was deliciously spicy! The Jr Chicken Sandwich was a great portion and filling I had the Hot Version (Habanero) and yes it was HOT as I HOPED FOR 🥵🔥(FINALLY AND FOR ONCE!). My son (13) had the Chicken wrap with Mild sauce (Cayenne) and he smacked the whole thing and said it was very good. We also ordered Fried Okra✅ Delicious and Fresh Never Frozen! The side of white rice fresh, soft and excellent grain quality ✅. The Slaw was Ok I would have appreciated a little more seasoning (perhaps) but I did like that it was the slaw threads very slimmed cut.
This is A GREAT HOUSE FOR REAL SPICY FOOD LOVERS! DONT ORDER THE HOT LEVEL OR HIGHER IF YOU DONT TRULY EAT SPICY FOODS, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT KIDDING AND THE HOT SAUCE IS HOT! (please don't ask for a refund if you asked for the wrong level not fair to new business and there are warnings signs letting you know that it's on you if u make a mistake, so start at the lowest level of u just don't know (bell pepper)....
...... I can't wait to Try the Ghost Pepper level NEXT God willing.
I will also be coming back to try the wings 😁.“

“I think this might be my first review ever, and if it isn't then it's the only one I remember making the effort to do...

I visited Chicago for about a week and tried plenty of restaurants in that time - from carts to michelin starred. I have to say that in my entire stay, the Art of Chicken takes the prize for my favorite meal.

They absolutely killed the pulled chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese (be sure to add their sauce to it)!!

While I was the only guest at the time, Mr. Christian behind the register made the effort to strike up convo and ensure that the hospitality was the icing on the cake.

I can't wait to visit again 🍻“

“This is me and my partner's favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot. We've once ordered from here 6 times in a span of two months. The original soy garlic chicken is my favorite, but the curry and snow onion are delicious as well. Sometimes, we order the cheese curds which is also super yummy. And I appreciate the free radish that the chicken comes with when we dine in.

This place is a staple for us and is miles better than Bonchon.“

“Pulled up to Chicken Hut in Boystown and spent about $18 on a half‑chicken special, rice, coleslaw and a soda. The charbroiled bird was juicy and fresh, coleslaw 🔥, rice solid—but breast was a titch dry. Staff was super chill and quick. Cozy, no‑frills vibes—great spot for a quick feed. Would’ve been 5★ if the white meat was a little more saucy, but def worth rollin’ thru.“
