Chicken Shops in Seattle, WA

“I ordered the spicy chicken wing and thigh. Both are definitely worth going back for. I wasn't as big of fan of the sides, but I will still go back for the chicken. I live about 10 minutes away and the chicken was still crispy when I got home.

Wasn't a fan of the marinated vegetables as they were too sweet nor was I of the Monggo Beans & Rice.“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Cookie's is the best! Sandwiches are great, the fries are amazing, and they've got poutine to boot! So relieved they were able to stay in Ballard after having to leave the Market St location, and the new spot is pretty solid, too.“

“delicious! the chicken was a bit tough, but i enjoyed the flavor and the overall selection of pickled radish and different flavors! working at a korean restaurant myself, this helped me understand korean street food cuisine better 💗💗💗“

“This place has the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. The seasoning is perfect, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious fried chicken! I will definitely come back again.“

“Highly recommend, I will be back again! Great chicken 🔥🔥“

“The ginger beer here is always great and you can sample the flavors before you order.

The prices are the menu are set so that you don't really save any money by ordering a larger size, so order the size you think you can finish.

As of October 2025 there is also a food option on the right side of the store that is selling fried chicken.

There really shouldn't be a tipping option as you are ordering at the counter.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is absolutely amazing! The chicken is always juicy and perfectly spiced, and the sides are delicious too. The service is quick and friendly, making every visit a pleasure. Highly recommend for anyone craving some top-notch hot chicken!“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

“chili crisp sandwich is best chicken sandwich around“

“So i want to eat korean food after an afternoon of walking around and randomly i decided to go to this resto, i think i am really hungry but i ordered bibimbap, chicken wings, seafood pancake, and kimchi jjigae. With beer of course. The ahjumma must be surprised that i ordered a lot 🤣. The owner is korean so this is a legit place. Then when i can't finish them all i ordered to go box and maybe the server man noticed i didn't get up after paying so he gave me a corn tea. To help with digestion,, but hey it worked. Thank you to the staff, i wish i can visit them again.. when i come back,,,“

“Amazing food! Been a ton of times and always recommend! Sadly tonight’s bartender was pretentious about food and rude. Otherwise amazing food and amazing service every other night I have been there (20+ times). Highly recommend!“

“Excellent lunch served outside in the sunshine today. Beautifully flavoured chicken breast with hearty portions“

“Wow what a hidden gem of West Seattle. The portions are great; the pricing is the best you can ask for. Wow, the flavor is incredible. They have a rotating menu so there's always something great to eat.

10/10 recommend

Went back the next day to try new things. I stand by everything previously mentioned“

“I've heard good things about the chicken for years and wow, was it awesome. J got the -crispy- half chicken with garlic sauce for 19 dollars. I was wincing at the price tag initially but the portion was enormous. I could not eat it all and I can eat a lot.

The chicken was crunchy and saucy, so juicy and tender and there was ample meat on the bone. They did not skimp in quality or quantity. I highly recommend going. Next time I will take a friends and order the whole chicken which seems like a really awesome deal for price. I will come back for sure!

PS R.I.P. bills off Broadway cap hill missed you“

“It was my first time checking this place out after hearing so many great things about it. Believe the hype, this place is amazing. The chicken sandwich is quality, perfectly breaded and seasoned and the ginger beer was the best I've had. The ambiance is really nice too, peaceful and elevated. What really left me wanting to return imminently was the customer service we received from Em. Most places nowadays have good customer service but the service my partner and I received from Em was just superb. Thanks to her service and the food, we will be returning regularly.“

“Wow great fried chicken - my brother claims it was life changing 😀. Nothing more to say except it's recommended by Oprah!“

“Shhhhh Seattle its the Best 2am Fried Chicken.
When you have a secret place to get 'better than KFC' chicken, open 24 hours, you kinda don't wanna post or tell anyone. Took me 5+ years to share this. I just tell everyone go to Ezells or Heaven Sent but they won't be open 24 hrs. I'll be hitting the 🐚 late night. Crunk Fried Chicken, yep.“

“Overall pretty good. Spicy chicken is not spicy at all, but that’s the only complaint about the chicken. BBQ beans are good but a bit too sweet for me, being from Texas where BBQ is everywhere. The ranch and honey mustard sauces were very nice“

“The place reminds me of an old school soul food restaurant. The chicken was crispy and juicy and you could tell it was made from fresh not frozen chicken. It didn't need the hot sauce I ordered but it tasted great with a little dabbed on it.The Mac n cheese and baked beans taste like they were made from scratch.
Service was fast and super friendly. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Seattle.“

“Argh!! I can’t forgive…….. myself!.. for not taking pictures of their yummy food. We had their delicious Dungeness crab fried rice, khao man gai (poached? chicken, crispy chicken khao soi (fried chicken in Thai curry), crème brûlée cheesecake, and mango sticky rice.

Chef’s kiss to each dish! Fresh. Super tasty. And warming!

And the waitstaff communicated really well when our crab fried rice was a bit delayed. They checked in on us, were generous and excited for us to try all the sauces when we were between two, and were naturally friendly—not pushy!

Can’t wait to go back!“

“This was a great spot! I’m rating my experience based off of their happy hour menu. There was a fantastic discount on food and drink prices but no shortcomings in food flavors and quality ingredients! I will say that as someone who is not very sensitive to spice I would recommend that you pick a spice level one below your typical because my dish was almost a little too hot. Good music and environment! Highly recommend happy hour.“

“I'm on the east coast and CRAVING those chicken tenders... I've frequented here enough to know that all the sauces are a hit, the staff are always on point. if looking for a carb heavy hit, I HEAVILY suggest the dirty tots with an extra poached egg. good for an evening out, to sop up some of the booze before continuing drinking.“

“It's Ezell's! It's a Seattle classic. My kid has grown up on their chicken tenders (1 pound - half/half, always) - they are a warm, familiar, delicous treat! Avoid DoorDash if you can - 1 pound of tenders on DoorDash (with 10% tip) was $46.04 - when I decided to pick up at the store on Rainier, it was $24.24. Save yourself some $ if you can, and support Ezell's directly!“

“The fact that they do clean Christian business and close on Sunday's for worship.“
