50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Skokie

“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.“

“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.“

“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 had an outstanding experience with Day’s Hot Chicken in Chicago. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top notch. We ordered through DoorDash, and when we called the restaurant, they were incredibly generous. Since we loved the food so much, they went above and beyond by adding extra items like mac and cheese and additional fries. It was a thoughtful gesture that truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend Day’s Hot Chicken for anyone craving delicious food and exceptional service.“

“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 🤤🍗🍟“

“I had an awesome experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Dominick! From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly cared about making sure every customer had a great visit. He helped me pick the perfect spice level and made sure my order came out just right. The food was amazing as always, but Dominick’s positive attitude and great customer service really stood out.“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“🔥 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!“

“I came here initially because I got a sponsored instagram ad claiming that they have “the best grilled chicken in chicago”….a bold claim to make! I came in and tried it expecting nothing special and was absolutely blown away. I’ve been back 50+ times since.
I would recommend dining in if possible- heavily seasoned and marinated chicken hot off the grill with a beautiful char- it simply cannot be beat!“

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

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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! The fried chicken here is absolutely phenomenal—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, with seasoning that hits all the right notes. You can tell it’s made fresh, and the flavor is perfectly balanced without being too greasy.

The sides are just as impressive—[mention a side like “the mac and cheese is creamy and comforting” or “the coleslaw is fresh and tangy”], making every bite feel like home. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality.

The staff here are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—perfect for a casual meal with friends, family, or even by yourself when you’re craving something delicious.

I’ve had fried chicken from plenty of places, but this spot easily ranks at the top. Highly recommend to anyone who loves comfort food done right!“

“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!“

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

“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.“
