Chicken Shops in Chicago, IL

“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!!!“

“超正台灣滷肉飯、珍珠奶茶🧋氣氛歡樂滿滿😊“

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“I've been wanting pancakes for the past month and finally went for some this morning. The pancakes were PHENOMENAL! My pancake jonesing was fulfilled by a more delicious pancake than I imagined was possible. They were huge and I could only eat one 🤤 The other reheated perfectly in the microwave - the texture was interior, but the taste was still fantastic. I've been before, but got other things. At this point, I can confidently recommend the breakfast sandwich, beignets, and pancakes. Oh, and get yourself an orange pop for breakfast... Be bad, treat yourself!“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“The food taste good and the service was great.“

“Ordered the catfish, shrimp and chicken wings. Also the nachos. All super delicious. The only downside was that the dining area was too hot to eat comfortably. I am visiting out of town and ate at the location. Otherwise, the dining area was clean.“

“Hands down punching the family and not just smacking your mama good chicken tenders that are juicy. Second, highly recommend the fantastic crinkle fries and Texas butter toast. Lastly, the sauces are out of this world 🌎 🌍“

“Destiny may be the greatest customer service representative that Dave’s hot chicken has. Incredible job destiny. I hope I’m spelling your name right. She went above and beyond and before I came in she picked up the phone when I was calling to assure they’re open and she was extremely positive and nice. I am only going here being of how nice she was and she did and incredible job.“

“So came across this place on my walk and love boba tea so I stopped in. I got the chicken sandwich and fries for a great deal ($8) and I must say I’m very impressed. The sandwich taste fresh, I got less spicy spice level and the chicken is nice and juicy. The sandwich has some really good flavor. Not hard at all which I love cause I hate getting sandwiches with hard chicken. I paired with a spicy mayo.

Just earned a new customer. Love the indoor seating as well and they got free wifi!

Thank you!“

“Great Service, they were very relaxed and comfortable to be there unlike some places that have staff over worked and stressed always rushing. I got the half and half El Jefe is definitely my favorite Is not over seasoned and you can taste the chicken more naturally nut they're both great! Price is also very reasonable for the area!!!“

“I just wanna say their bento boxes are sooo good. Like whoever making them back there putting their all into it cause it’s so good and perfect. They are also well accommodating to request. Everything taste so fresh. Staff is also really nice and attentive!!!“

“Good customer service and good food.“

“I ordered the spicy garlic chicken tenders and oh man were they delicious. The portion is large, definitely enough for 2. The tenders themselves are on the smaller side which makes for a perfect ratio of chicken to crisp to flavor. I also ordered curly fries which came out super hot and crispy. Those were delicious but the price was a little high.

The place is cute and comfortable, very clean. The service was great. The woman working the register and tables was super sweet.“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Grabbed dinner takeout and ordered the half chicken with rice and some extra pita. Chicken was well seasoned and juicy, sides were basic but solid. Place is no frills and quick which is perfect when you just want something straightforward. Staff got the order together fast. Reliable neighborhood spot for charbroiled chicken without any extras.“

“Everything was delish! Will be back“

“Ordered Chicken Thigh Skewers and had a coupon for additional menu item free. Chose 12 wings. Got home opened bag and had 18 wings, no skewers.“

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

“Best hot chicken in Chicago“

“My family and I have been going there for about 40 years now!!! The best and freshest fried to order!!!!!!“

“We used to go to their old location all the time when we lived in the city, so we were excited to check out the new location now that we have kids—and it did not disappoint!

The fried chicken and biscuits were delicious, and the portions were huge. The kids’ play area with books, trucks, Connect 4 and more was an awesome surprise, plus the kids got fun crazy straws! It’s genuinely kid-friendly without sacrificing great food.

And the $2 beers with a meal were an unexpectedly awesome deal. Great food, great prices, and a perfect family spot. We’ll definitely be back! 🍗🍺“

“Excellent food! Excellent service! DON’T MISS THIS PLACE WHEN YOU’RE IN CHICAGO!“

“Nandos Peri Peri is incredible. I appreciate the kindness of the staff and managers towards me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. GM Austin and Liz is very nice. Amazing lemon chicken. Must come back. 10/10.“

“I had the four piece boat (1/2 a chicken, 2 rolls, coleslaw). The fried chicken was good, but not great. Not sure what the hype is about, but if you're in the area and in the mood for fried chicken, definitely stop here. Call ahead though, otherwise the wait for chicken is 30 min and they had actually run out of chicken on my first visit.“

“Rib Tips are 🔥. Owners were pretty cool. I’ll definitely go back. 10/10“

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

“A casual Korean fried chicken spot known for crispy, flavorful wings with a variety of sauces. The food is fresh and popular for takeout or quick dining. Very convenient, located near a train station—especially helpful for those without a car. We especially like the galbi boneless chicken and cheesy fries.“

“Fast service and very professional“

“Just stopped in today for the first time. The staff was very friendly and even gave my little one a free juice and goodie bag.

The food was fantastic and the lemonade is homemade and delicious. Reminded me of the one my mom made when I was a kid. Definitely worth eating at. I'll definitely be back again.“

“It was our first time trying Raising Canes, it was very good. We enjoyed the combo box; the chicken was delicious and the sides were great! Definitely going back!“

“We tried the Halal Chicken Burger at Byrd's Hot Chicken. The burger tasted good, but it wasn't particularly memorable or mouthwatering.

The burger came with fries, and they were the highlight of the meal. They were crispy, flavorful, and tasted really good. We would definitely order the fries again on our next visit.

Overall, it was a good experience. The burger was decent, but the fries were the standout item.“

“Hands down punching the family and not just smacking your mama good chicken tenders that are juicy. Second, highly recommend the fantastic crinkle fries and Texas butter toast. Lastly, the sauces are out of this world 🌎 🌍“

“This place is super delicious and the line is never too long. Their two sliders are more like 2 burgers (they are about the size of a shake shack burger), and with the amount of fries they give in their combo + a free slide upon check-in, the pricing is a steal!“

“Stopped by Hot N' Spicy Chicago on Devon Ave for a late-night bite and was impressed. Grabbed the Chicken Chutney Roll—tender chicken wrapped in a soft paratha with a tangy chutney kick. Also tried the Masala Fries, which were crispy and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, and the place had a cozy vibe. If you're in the area and craving a flavorful halal meal, this spot is worth checking out. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu.“

“Rainbow Bowl with chicken thighs was amazing, very friendly staff. Gotta go for the hot sauce. Larry even picked up the phone after-hours and went out of his way to search when I called looking for my missing charger. Will come again when I'm back in Chicago!“

“good food. nice location.“
