33 Best Chicken Restaurants in Chicago

“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“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had! The chicken soup was also amazing!“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“Cozy atmosphere and great food.“

“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!!!“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken delivers bold, flavorful spice with its Chicken Tenders and Sliders. The tenders are large, juicy, and perfectly crispy, while the sliders combine tender chicken, creamy coleslaw, tangy pickles, and soft brioche buns for a perfect balance of heat and flavor. With spice levels ranging from mild to intense, there’s something for everyone. A must-try for hot chicken lovers!“

The chicken was absolutely delicious—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor🤤🤤. And what made my experience even better was their amazing customer service.

“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.“

“A true unknown gem of Chicago, this place makes hand down the best fried chicken—you would never guess. The staff is always friendly and the service is always fast, even though they fresh fry each order. Do yourself a favor and try it once and you’ll never visit the McDonald’s right across the street again.“

“Love the Bar B Que and the Chicken...Go Royal Chicken!!!!!“

“Chicken is excellent and tasty 😋 We always order here for so many years. Highly recommended to all my family members and friends. ☺️😋😍“

“Harold’s is always the first place i go when i land in the Chi. This past week was no different. My best friend picked me up from the airport and already knew what it was, lol. This particular Harold’s was recommended. I stopped in around 8:30 or so and i gave my spill abt how it’s a tradition each time i come Chicago, Harold’s it’s always the first stop. The lady at the register took my order and asked where i was visiting from. I got wings and a pizza puff with mild and hot sauce, salt/pepper, and ketchup. She recommended i add Lemon Pepper, i obliged. After abt 10 minutes, i got my fresh food with a free bottle of mild sauce. Once i made it to the crib the food was gone in abt 7 mins. Food and customer service 10 out of 10 would highly recommend… I’ll definitely be back.“

“This is the BEST Harold’s in the city! Fresh, crispy, delicious and mild sauce on point!“

“Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wrap, with mango & Lime sauce. Side order of Honey Sweet Potatoes.“

“I wish I took a photo of my food before I scarfed it down! It was too delicious! I came here with my apartment broker after a tour and we were both looking for a good meal and this did not disappoint! I ordered the Citybird sandwich which has tenders, slaw, and pickles all under $10. The guys here are so nice and I even got free fries. I would absolutely recommend!“

“I got take- out from the Chicken Hut. The staff are fast and friendly. I ordered a whole chicken and masked potatoes and gravy. It also came with a pita. I only waited maybe 1 min. They grill all the chicken right in front of you. It's very fresh. I got this so split with my husband. There was plenty of food for 2 or 3 people. The chicken was juicy and tasty. They sell Pepsi products. They offer diet and Pepsi Zero.“

“Chicken Planet is a hidden gem if you're craving some bomb grilled chicken without all the fuss. I grabbed a half chicken meal with a side of their garlic rolls and a simple salad, and it was straight-up fire. The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had that nice crispy skin you crave. The garlic rolls were soft, buttery, and hit the spot. I spent around $12 for the whole meal, which is a steal for how good and filling it was. It’s a no-frills spot, but the flavors are on point and the staff is super friendly. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area and need a quick, tasty bite“

“Amazing salads and even more amazing people!“

“Thank you for all of your services. Good food“

“Was craving Korean fried chicken tonight and this place did not disappoint. I had ordered the Soy Garlic fried chicken (most popular) rice and pickled radish. The fried chicken was savory and crunchy. That first bite while it's still warm was so bomb! Definitely would recommend!“

“This store feels like family. They have amazing customer service and delicious food with a versatile menu on top of having all of your everyday needs. I’ve lived in the area my whole life and Tasty’s has fit right into the community and has become a trademark for Brainerd.“
