18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Katy

“Had their BOGO today (spicy) with Sprite (no ice). I attempted to go inside, but the line was long-ish and I didn't see any available tables. Drive thru didn't look so bad, so we attempted it, although considering just bypassing. It smelled REALLY appetizing. We found a shaded spot on the way home and enjoyed the TENDER, JUICY fingers, the plump, salted-just-right fries, and the unbelievable but well-executed thought of a piece of toast!! So, seriously, can someone come pick me up and take me home? Imma take a nap! 💤“

“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning“

“I previously left a solid 5 star rating and should start with the food is always good. However, the last 2 orders I've made have been wrong. For instance, I ordered wet buffalo and got just basic breaded wings tonight. The last time I got the wrong wing flavor as well. I double checked the order receipt and my correct order was on it. I hope my future orders are correct.“

“As someone who comes from Africa l would go back again and again lol ….The food is very good and they are very quick with they service..not forgetting the environment that’s a 10/10 Because they will be playing good African music ?.l would definitely recommend ?“

“I enjoyed my Fancy Nancy chicken salad sandwich with broccoli salad. There was a good amount of chicken salad in my sandwich. My work catered this meal and everyone on my team got what they ordered. I’m glad we got to try this out and will definitely go again.“

“Love the food & the service. Little pricey for a sandwich but you can't beat the flavors. They don't skimp on the filling. A side (my pick - Broccoli salad), a pickle, & soft iced sugar cookie for dessert rounds out the meal.

Vegetarian options: It's a Chicken Salad restaurant, unless you want a salad or side dishes don't expect alternative vegetarian options.

Dietary restrictions: They always remind me they don't have to add bacon to the broccoli salad. Also, reminders about nuts in certain dishes..“

“Had the chicken and waffles, excellent flavor“

“This place is a 5 out of 5 in every way! Perfect food, desert, and service! I’m never going back to Cane’s after eating Slims chicken. Robert is the definition of who I want to see when walking into any establishment. He’s super kind, has an amazing personality, and explains everything in superior detail.“

“I came in today to try the pickle 🥒 menus as a pickle lover and Sylvia was patiently helping me order all of them and even got me fried pickles as a side! Sylvia and her coworker were an absolute dream team to get me all my satisfactory of pickles delights! The pickles wings glaze were delicious! A must try for sure!“

“Food was fantastic. First time getting spicy and the chicken was actually spicy. Only issue was, I asked for all dark and they gave me mixed. I was on the highway before I noticed. It was good and I will go back to this Popeyes in the future.“
