14 Best Chicken Restaurants in Boston

“Hands down best hot chicken I have ever had.
Rarely I say any place is worth visiting, but this one is.
Caution: if you have high heat tolerance, only go as high as Hot. 🥵 anything hotter is at your own risk.
Definitely worth any detour to get a piece of Dave’s hot chicken“

“Birdies Hot Chicken is a locally owned spot that has quietly built one of the stronger reputations for fried chicken in the Boston area, and the tenders are where that reputation is easiest to understand.

The chicken comes out juicy and well crusted, with a batter that stays crispy without being thick or greasy, and the seasoning underneath does more work than most hot chicken spots bother with. The heat is the headline but the flavor is what keeps you coming back, and the two are balanced well enough that even at higher spice levels the chicken still tastes like something rather than just burning.

The spice levels are worth taking seriously. The extra hot is genuinely challenging and rewarding in equal measure if you have the tolerance for it, but the mid-range levels give you enough of the flavor profile to understand what the kitchen is doing without requiring a recovery period afterward.

The seasoned fries are a natural companion and hold up well alongside the tenders, and the sliders are worth knowing about if you want to build out a larger order across a few different formats.

The restaurant is clean and comfortable with a good energy and staff that moves quickly without making the experience feel transactional. For halal hot chicken in downtown Boston that takes both the heat and the flavor seriously, Birdies is the spot to know about.“

“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

“I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken sliders which is flavorful and satisfying. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, Dave’s sauce add the perfect tangy balance. Spice levels are legit, so you actually taste both heat and flavor. Portions are big for ‘sliders’ and overall quality feels more premium than typical fast food. worth it if you love good hot chicken.“

“Tuesday 1/24/23 on my lunch break at work in beacon hill, ordering here for the first time . I went with the 5pc mix chicken with a honey biscuit, also ordered 3 honey biscuits side order. I got 2 thighs, 1breast, 1wing, 1drumstick. The chicken had a well balance seasoning, very crispy not covered in heavy batter, chicken was cooked fully and moist inside very tasty was very happy with the quality and tasty of chicken! The honey biscuits where delicious it was sweet with a glazed over the top they had blueberry’s inside and like a cake not dry and very good! If you haven’t tried this spot it’s a must TRY! I was very satisfied with my lunch and ready to get back to work from my half hour break. Check out my pictures below!“

“Such a viiiiiibe! Literally ate here everyday when at school. Low key SO GAS! sometimes the chicken can be a little bit not as good as the last time. SO GASSSS THOOOOUGH. Zach, signing off!

Dietary restrictions: If you’re allergic to chicken, don’t come! Probably not worth it.“

“This place has good chicken tenders - I live down the street so I don’t know what the delivery situation is like. Sounds like they use partners like Uber Eats and it hasn’t been working out great for other people based on other reviews.As for this place not being a real restaurant - it is, sort of. These tenders are made in the Rock Bottom kitchen (you can check the Google maps and compare addresses). In fact you can find the same exact tenders at Rock Bottom on their menu. Looks like they just rebranded just the chicken part of their menu to sell.Either way, here’s what to know:- no, there isn’t a separate “Twisted Tenders storefront). But you can eat in if you’d like at Rock Bottom- yes, the chicken does taste good- I’d recommend going to pick it up rather than delivery purely based on experience of others.“

“I adore this place so much, and the rice is incredible. Wonderful chicken soup The staff will make sure you get exactly what you want. I don't know what else to say, other than to say that this is the best Spanish food place I've ever ordered from. Given that I am pregnant, they make sure I get exactly what I want to eat; they even made chicken soup for me because I have a celery allergy. I genuinely love this place and will never stop ordering from them.“

“bb.q Chicken is a national chain specializing in Korean Fried Chicken and other Korean dishes.

The staff here work quick, and are friendly and able to bring out dishes in a timely manner. I typically order after late night work shifts, and the quality of the food has been consistently good.

I typically get boneless wings here, and have tried many of the flavors. the original is crispy, though most of the pieces we've gotten were on the spicier side, which may be a deterrent. I've also tried the cheeseling, which is a favorite. It is a dusting of assorted cheeses, making it have a cheesy flavor but not too overwhelming. Portion size is good for the price.

Overall, a good place to try out Korean Fried Chicken, plus it is open late, which is good for midnight snacks.“
