18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Seattle

“Best fried chicken ever! The chicken was perfectly cooked, it was juicy on the inside and the batter was thin and crispy. We tried the stick (chicken breast) and the drumstick. We went with the spicy option. It was not too spicy and the banana ketchup complemented it perfectly.“

“Great food, great service ! Al was very fun and made us feel like we had a lot of time even though it was close to closing time.“

“Very clean restaurant serving great quality fried chicken and southern sides. These guys do a great job with a simple but delicious menu. They pay tribute to the KFC bowl, which is one of my favorite menu items in Seattle. Chicken sandwiches are great and they service the right amount of spice in 4-5 levels. I can’t stress the quality of ingredients, great every time.

One of my favorite places in Ballard and a great stop when I’m in the area. Always recommending this place, 10/10“

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

“Seattle classic. There's no "ambiance" at all. It's a walk-up, chicken stand that serves DELICIOUS things. The fried chicken is obviously the star, but the sides are also great. Think, homemade southern KFC, done well. And, it's local.“

“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!“

“A bit hard to find if you don't know it's insider Rachel's Ginger Beer, but I've had it twice now and love the flavor. I saw another review stating this was likely the best fried chicken sandwich in Seattle and I think I agree. I can't think of another place I'd rather go for when I'm craving it.This is a great quick bite option, with food prepared relatively quickly. Will be coming again and again to satisfy the lunch craving.“

“Just stopped in for a quick Lunch at 11:00 am, FIrst time eating here the Spicy Chicken sandwich was awesome and very good prices. The place was sparkling clean and very friendly.

Parking: It's on the Ave. so good luck with finding an open spot :)“

“In Seattle for the night and wandered into the Pelican for an after midnight snack. The food was fantastic! Juiciest chicken I've ever had. Customer service? When my card was declined, the staff was over the top gracious. Nuff said. A+“

“Great meal delivery service. Fresh & home made & unique meals delivered to your home twice a week. Quality ingredients and an ever-changing menu. It doesn’t get much better than this. And Westerky is locally owned and operated by some really nice, down to earth folks.“

“Ezell's Famous Fried Chicken remain the one, the go to in either times of triumph or trouble, the one to try and beat but not likely to ever happen. In short and sum, the best fried chicken definitively in the PNW - The Pacific Northwest, as well as very arguably Ezell's Famous Chicken may be best of the best across the whole USA Nation. Even at those levels, Ezell's is always in contention in consistent high quality food provided with great service.“

“Heard nothing but great things about this place so I figured I’d try it out. Food, amazing, chefs kiss! Customer service, phenomenal! Before realizing I can place the order through the website, I tried placing an order through door dash; the app crashed and the order never showed submitted on my end. Then I learned I can place the same order through their website (and avoid all those 3rd party delivery/convenience fees) the manager noticed both orders that were exactly the same and called me to confirm if I needed both or if one of the orders was a mistake! He was able to cancel and refund one of the orders instantly. They went above and beyond because most places would just make the orders and not care if any were a duplicate or not. I very much appreciate the extra steps taken and such friendly customer service!! Absolutely will be back!“

“If you want really good fried chicken, mashed, potatoes, and an exceptional sweet roll at a reasonable price, you can’t do any better than Haven Sent Fried Chicken (The Original Ezell’s Fried Chicken)…..

I had the spicy crispy fried chicken and it was just the right amount of spicy tang.

The restaurant was very clean and the customer service was excellent and very friendly.

The bake beans and corn bread are excellent as well….. AND, if you dare, the chicken livers are outstanding!“

“For gas station fare, this place is not bad at all. The orange colored chicken taquitos are pretty great. The soft serve ice cream is also a great choice!! The cashier's are always pleasant and friendly. The gas isn't such a bargain but I don't think that's a surprise!“

“I went there and got the family meal with tenders pieces of chicken pogo wedges and biscuits. The chicken was delicious but the biscuits were soft, buttery and sweet just like I like. Go get the chicken and biscuits they are on point!! (Delicious) ?“
