50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Skokie

“Got the spicy fried chicken, palabok, burger steak, mashed potatoes, and guava freeze. Overall the food is good and doesn’t take too long like other locations. It wasn’t too busy when I got here. But the spicy fried chicken was less spicy than other locations that I have tried. It tastes like just fried chicken. So it wasn’t bad just not spicy at all. So don’t expect it to be spicy but it’s still good anyway if you're dripping with the sauce. Palabok was my favorite one. The atmosphere is quiet and easy to talk in. All the places are clean and the staff are very nice. Some items online were unavailable but I recommend to check with them because they have it, it's just not on the menu online. There are plenty of parking spots too and a drive-thru option.“

“We tried Byrd’s Hot Chicken in Skokie and it was absolutely worth it! We ordered the Byrd Bomb (crispy tenders with cheese, slaw, 24 karat sauce, pickles on bread and hot toast) and it was packed with flavor. The hot chicken sandwich was juicy and had the perfect kick, while the crispy Byrd wrap was a great twist with amazing crunch. We also got a full order of wings, and they were cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender inside.
The drinks selection is solid (Pepsi products) and paired perfectly with the heat. Service was great, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the place had plenty of space with lots of parking available.
If you’re looking for delicious hot halal chicken with great portions and excellent service, this is the spot. Definitely coming back! Also they are on uber eats and open super late“

“I ordered the 15 Pc. Buffalo Wings, it tasted pretty good, was wet, crunchy, and had some good quality texture of meat.

The service was pretty quick, and very nice cashier, the atmosphere usually has one fly flying around, otherwise, pretty good scenery in the building.“

“Our first visit to Nando’s was a delicious experience! We’re putting this place into our dining rotation!!“

“Best waffle fries AND Market Salads with Apple Cider vinegarette dressing are a lovely combo!!! Great service and very well run with a strong management team.“

“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!!!“

“A young lady named Samantha (POSC) was very welcoming, courteous, and patient. She had a smile at all times.I have a stomach condition and she offered alternatives which helped me feel understood. I wish we had many other Samantha's as cashier because people like her really make a difference!!! It is my first time and I want to come back!!!!“

“So I went to this place today as I was craving a lot for a zinger burger tried their Trio Box and wow… it did not disappoint! 😍🔥 Three juicy chicken sandwiches with soft, fresh buns that held everything perfectly, crispy golden wavy fries (my new obsession 🙌), and the sauces the garlic mayo + chili mayo combo was absolutely amazing , tangy sweet and spicy at the same
Everything came hot and fresh they make us not wait for a long time quickly served , portions were generous, and for $30, it’s totally worth it. Already craving my next order 🤤🍗🍟“

“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“

“Was on my way home from the airport and had to get a quick bite to eat. So glad I stopped here! David assisted us through the drive through and man does he go above and beyond for the establishment!! Best customer service!! David educated us on the choices and was patient with our big order. David is awesome and I hope he knows how well he does his job. Along with David being awesome the food was AMAZING.“

“🔥 Highly Recommended! Flame On Peri Peri is hands down one of the best spots for flavorful, juicy peri peri chicken! The spice levels are just right, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Don’t miss the loaded fries and their signature sauces — 10/10!“

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

“Chicken is very delicious“

“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 😁.“

“Saturday evening was my first time at Parsons. The food was delicious and the service could not have been better. Our server definitely did not forget us. I had the shrimp basket...delicious and my son had the fish and chips and he also said they were delicious. We definitely will go back.“

“Cozy atmosphere and great food.“

“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.“

“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 🍻“

“Fry the Coop didn’t disappoint. Christy’s customer service was amazing. We drove 4 hours for this experience❤️🔥👌🏻“

“Love this place. I've been here a few times. The hot chicken sandwich, nachos, and fries are always great. This most recent visit I tried a double smashburger with smash peppers, spicy chopped cheese, and onion rings. The burger was probably the best smashburger I ever had, the beef and bun tasted really fresh, burger patties were crispy and seasoned, and the sauce went really well with it. The chopped cheese was really good, and onion rings were crispy, hot, and seasoned. Highly recommend this place. Everything I've had there is good.“

“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.“

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

“Chicken was on point! Had the Chili buffalo chicken sandwich and Nashville hot wings. Definitely recommend“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I tried the original fried chicken and the spicy garlic chicken—both were enjoyable, though the latter was slightly too sweet for my taste. The store could benefit from better cleanliness. That said, food was served promptly, and the prices were reasonable. I’ll likely return, but only for takeout.“

“ive never completely decimated an order of chicken like I have from bb.q chicken. im gonna be honest i blacked out. i tried the cheeseling chicken for the first time cause i had no idea how itd taste and it was surprisingly balanced and richly sweet. the chicken fell off the bone and the bones practically fell apart with it. when i woke up i was struck with Holy Visions. i was valedictorian of my class. i had 5 million in my bank account. and everyone was cheering for me and giving me full timejob offers with benefits. needless to say it was good as hell 5 starts“

“Awesome food here good service and very friendly staff makes you feel welcomed more than any other fast food place“

“I had a great experience at Jollibee today! A gentleman opened the door for me and said good morning. Nicole greeted me at the counter and helped me promptly. I received my food quickly and it was fresh. Thanks for a great eating experience!“

“Amazing salads and even more amazing people!“

“Chicken was fresh and cooked perfectly- crispy, moist, and glistening inside. Gator bites were great - good ratio of batter to fish. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good too! Not sure if the recent criticisms of this restaurant were warranted - because to me, the food was spot on!“

“Muchas Gracias 🙏 a todo el Equipo de Apollo Campero especialmente a sus directivos y asociados muy lindo el cambio de colores y además ya hay salsa de México 🇲🇽 y muy pronto 🔜 prometieron el cambio de sus tortillas para mejorar muchas cosas buenas y su sabor único míl Gracias a su equipo de trabajo de parte de DeliaMar Mega Shop y Floreria DeliaMar les esperamos en Indiana nueva sucursal soon.“

“Tacos tacos and more tacos. Very good tacos! Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely love this location. The staff is wonderful, and even though it's small and busy the staff always makes sure the place is clean. One employee in general is extra helpful and one of the reasons I always come back, Manny. Any place of employment would be honored to have him. He's just the nicest guy.“

“Kiki's fries with chicken and mango habanero sauce. amazing 😍“

“So happy to have a good late night spot to eat near us. Clean location, friendly staff, freshly made food. The gentleman at the counter was excellent at his job. He took the time to recommend the best food package for our needs and suggested his favorite sauce to pair with it, we received generous portions and didn’t feel rushed out of the dining room.“

“It's delicious too. I like this place because it tastes like an old neighborhood chicken house. Seasoned Boneless is so delicious. I like to mix it with rice. The jjajangmyeon restaurant next door is also delicious, there is jjamjjamyeon.“

“Chicken hands down but they're gyro cheeseburgers is 🔥 too. They kind of fell off on the Italian beefs. They're chicken gizzards and catfish nuggets fried head is a hit too. Yet, they need to understand that everybody don't like lemon pepper. Put it on the side and let one decide if they want it.“

“Henri is so happy with the customer service at #cfamelrosepark #chickfila!! his parents accidentally used my birthday reward and the assistant director gave them three new rewards to make up for it! can't wait to dress up henri for cow appreciation day! #rebeccallawrence thank you!“

“When visiting nearby friends,we order fish.With ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, this is a better j.j. fish in area(B-). North Ave&Laramie is too expensive (F). Madison & Central food is old, decrepit,dehydrated,constantly refried ,old food- taste like yesterday. Horrible.(F)Their cooks,are going to run them out of business.“

“I was in today for a meal on Chicago and Kedzie. The food was fine, but, when I asked to use the restroom 🚻, I was denied access.“

“Had some breaded fish and fries today and it was perfectly cooked, just the right crispness I like. Thank you for the delicious food!!!“

“GREAT STAFF SERVICE THE FOOD WAS WELL COOK VERY CLEAN IT WAS MY FIRST TIME THERE ITS A COZY PLACE“

“great team and fast we are all family in this k.f.c“

“So I love these people I try them for the first time yesterday they had an outdoor album they had an indoor I stayed mostly on the indoor close of it being hot it was nice and cool on the inside it just felt hot when it came opening that door but other than that she has a menu I would definitely be back on there also her little helpers over there and I also tip definitely go if you like wings they're sure thing and yes they are mixed so you would definitely get a bad especially with the music that they have and they don't just play their time they play all kind if you know you know but yes definitely come and check Rogers wings and things out because baby who don't like good crispy different type of egg rolls so good and who don't like the different type of shrimp fried rice that they have but yeah“
