50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Skokie

“Its great place for chicken sandwiches and fries. I had the spicy delux chicken with Mac and Cheese and fries. The Mac and cheese was a bit cold and tasted like KFC Mac and cheese. The fries were crispy and hot, A+. The sandwich had a nice crispness to it, and had nice flavor, it's not spicy for me at all, but still could for some who can't have spicy. The sandwich wasn't soggy either, like other chicken sandwiches, where the breading feels cold or soggy. This one felt fresh and crisp. Will go back soon to try their other options like the fried chicken, and maybe even their spaghetti to try out.“

“Such a great place! The chicken was absolutely delicious**—fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. I love their hamburgers, which was one of the best I’ve had!** The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were great. Definitely a place worth trying. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍔🍗“

“I order Daves Hot Chicken ALL the time.. Always get door dash and the order is always 💯. Today I went and ordered carry out, and I haven’t done that since they first opened, as well as when it was my first time.
I never write reviews but I had to make it known;
Jose took my order & it was a BIG order, with a couple precise requests…not only was he quick but was very patient with me! He made sure everything was all correct and on point! Super appreciative of that because its rare now adays getting customer service that goes above & beyond.
So this employee was definitely an absolute rockstar!. Overall experience was 10/10; as well as the food of course!💯‼️“

“I had mixed feelings about my visit to Port of Peri Peri. The food was honestly excellent and full of flavor, so I have no complaints about the quality of the meal itself.

However, the customer service really let the experience down. The staff didn't seem friendly or welcoming, and when I asked questions, they either didn't respond properly or didn't seem interested in helping. The dining area also looked like it needed more attention—several tables were greasy and didn't appear to be cleaned promptly, which made eating in feel a bit unhygienic.

If you're planning to try this place, I'd recommend ordering takeout instead of dining in. The food is definitely worth trying, but I think the overall dine-in experience and cleanliness could use significant improvement.This keeps the review balanced by praising the food while clearly describing the issues you experienced.“

“One of the best halal burgers I’ve had! The burger was juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy, and the portions were generous. Great halal spot with good prices and friendly service. Definitely recommend Byrd’s Hot Chicken if you’re looking for a delicious halal burger!“

“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!!!“

I am only going here being of how nice she was and she did and incredible job.“

My boyfriend got the Smash Cheeseburger and that was also super super tasty, he got it with the smash peppers. The staff was so friendly and helpful as well. Definitely coming back soon.“

“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! 🍗🍺“

“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.“

“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!“

“Truly an awesome surprise, decided to order on a whim and found the best chicken tenders I've ever had in my life, not exaggerating. Really happy I happen to live close to here. The two owners are very nice and friendly. Do yourself a favor and try Ciao Chow“

“Really enjoyed the chicken here! The soy garlic and snow onion chicken were both tender on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. The flavors were delicious without being overwhelming. The tteokbokki was also perfect. The spice level had just the right amount of kick. Service was also speedy and awesome.“

“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.“

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

“Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Not so busy at 5pm but as soon as our food was served many people came for their takeouts. This is a store with more than 35 year old history. They established their reputation with very solid presentation of food. Chicken was crispy but not oily. Drums, wings, and thighs are all great. Fries too. They made fries using the same oil to fry the chicken I believe. They also offer multiple choices of fried fish but they came a bit oily.
They also have options for vegetarians! Their Greek salad was so fresh! I asked to remove the cheese and put the sauce on the side and they were able to accommodate it. The cucumbers were sweet and bell peppers were crispy.
Highly recommended.“

“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.“

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

“I didn’t dine, but it was decent sized space. The host was very receptive as soon I walked in to pick my order. Very great service from initial experience. The food was delicious especially the fried chicken. The Rose Deokkbokki was really great as well. The Kimchi Fried rice hit the spot for sure. Very genuine Korean tasting food.“

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

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

“Great place for grilled chicken . The side dishes are also good. Friendly staff always on point;)“

“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.“

“If you're looking for the best chicken in Logan Square, Chez Poulet is an absolute must-visit!
​We tried a bit of everything, but three items completely stole the show:
​The Chicken: Incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and full of rich flavor in every single bite. Easily some of the top-tier chicken in Chicag
Mindys Bread: Absolutely phenomenal! Fresh, chicken flavor, and the perfect pairing to round out the meal.
​The Mac & Cheese: Hands down delicious. Ultra-creamy, rich, pure comfort food, and one of the best side dishes you'll find in the neighborhood.
​Great food, fantastic flavor, and super satisfying portions. If you are anywhere near Logan Square and craving top-quality comfort food, do yourself a favor and check out Chez Poulet. We will definitely be back!“

“great customer service thanks again!“
