50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Skokie

“I got the chicken joy bucket and the kbbq chicken sandwich and both were super good. The chicken was crispy and very juicy, and it came with a side of gravy, which I was super excited for. Spicy chicken was actually spicy which I enjoyed as well. Would recommend people to come and eat.“

“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“

“Everything was sweet, except it would have been cool to have a fork for the salad. Otherwise, just a truly, quality meal. And even though the delivery fellow seemed mildly nonplussed when I spoke English, I could tell he was a really nice guy.“

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

“I ordered online thru their app. By the time I got there, it was ready. The cashier was very friendly. The food was delicious. I should have gotten a larger order of the mushrooms. I don’t know what I was thinking. They all fought over them. I wish we had one closer to us.“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“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 🤤🍗🍟“

“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!“

“These were the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had.

I highly recommend trying the spicy chicken—it’s packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Definitely a must-try for anyone who loves bold, tasty dishes. Will be coming back for sure!“

“Cozy atmosphere and great food.“

“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.“

“Grilled chicken happens daily. The salsa you get with it is freshly made and it's very tasty. It can vary based on who makes it for the day or week. I will say get extra pita bread because I always have left overs when getting half a chicken. Also very affordable“

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

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

“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.“

“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 🍻“

“First time visit and they're already a fav! I had the sunrise biscuit sandwich and it was phenomenal! The biscuit was moist and the spicy chicken was a perfect heat level! Sebastian was a delight! He helped us pick the flavors and ended up stirrups is with an order of the Dirty Bird to share..Mac, fries, chicken, pepper and sauce HEAVEN! The Strawberry Palmer tea needs to be in stores! We even took food home!“

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

“This is one of my favorite Nandos locations in Chicago. The food is always delicious and fresh. The employee Jaime is very warm and he always goes out of his way to satisfy every customer!! I look forward to his outstanding hospitality in every visit.

Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Amazing salads and even more amazing people!“

“Salute indeed this place has great food and friendly service and they take good care of our Veterans at our homeless shelter for Veterans.. Thank You.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“I did take out for a gathering last night, and the wings were delicious. We got the honey garlic and galbi flavored wings, and they were a hit with everyone at the party. A friend who has done takeaway with them previously said that their kimchi fried rice was the best they’ve had, so I’ll try that next time. My order was ready to go at the time promised. I will definitely order again!“

“(I want the sweet and spicy sauce coated chicken like the one I got back in my country!!!!)
The Korean BBQ sauce is really salty, I had to take a sip every time I took a bite of the chicken bbq. Spaghetti tastes… barbecue-y?? I expected it to feel more of the tomato flavor… On a good note, the chicken meat is so moist and tender with the meats are fully covered in sauce ❤️.
I love Jollibee but maybe the Western version is not for me haha.“

“Love The Fresh Chicken from Hangry Joes“

“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“

“Good food for anytime of day!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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.“
