Best Fast Food Chicken Restaurants
1. BonChon
With over 100 locations in the US, BonChon is a popular Asian fast food restaurant for chicken. The Korean Fried Chicken is a must-try, especially the garlic-soy flavor. We recommend the wings and boneless strips.
2. Jollibee
Originally from the Philippines, Jollibee is fast food restaurant that is quickly gaining popularity in the US. The fried chicken and Jolly Spaghetti are must-trys, as well as the Peach Mango Pie.
We think Jollibee has one of the best fast food chicken, the type of fried chicken that is crispy outside and fall-off-the bone tender inside! Yum.
3. Chicken Guy!
Chicken Guy! Is a fast food chicken restaurant created by celebrity chef Guy Fieri. It’s an up-and-coming fast food chain with only a handful of locations nationwide. Our recent visit left us impressed with the flavorful chicken. Plus we are loving all the sauce!
4. Raising Cane’s
My son is obsessed with Raising Cane’s. That signature Cane’s sauce and buttery Texas toast are exactly why we keep going back. There’s just something about dipping those crispy chicken fingers into that sauce — it’s completely addictive.
Raising Cane’s is a fan-favorite fast food spot known for doing one thing really well: chicken fingers. They serve them up with crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, thick Texas toast, and their famous Cane’s sauce that keeps everyone coming back for more.
5. Dave’s Hot Chicken
My kids and I can’t get enough of Dave’s Hot Chicken. Ever since we tried it, we’ve been craving it nonstop.
We are obsessed with the chicken tender bites (Dave’s Bites) — I love them so much that I’ve literally ordered the 40-piece catering tray just to have it for dinner at home.
6. Chick-Fil-A
One of the most beloved fast food chains in the US, Chick-Fil-A offers a wide range of chicken options. We love the chicken nuggets and chicken sandwiches. Don’t forget to pair it with the dipping sauces. Chick-fil-A sauce and ranch are our favorite.

Haven Hot Chicken is a regional fried chicken fast food based in New Haven, Connecticut. Haven Hot Chicken brings Nashville Hot Chicken to New England. Their unique take on the classic dish has become a sensation in the region.
Don’t miss out on their mouth-watering Chicken and Waffles or their signature fried chicken sandwich, known as “The Sandwich”.
8. Panda Express
At first, we were hesitant to include Panda Express on our list as it’s not your typical fast food chain for chicken. However, we simply couldn’t leave it out because of their irresistible orange chicken!
We always end up ordering the orange chicken along with some delicious fried rice and chow mein noodles. Trust us, it’s addictive!
9. Pollo Tropical
If you’re in the mood for delicious fire-grilled chicken, Pollo Tropical is the place to be. We always get the chicken with plantains, rice, and beans for the ultimate meal. Also, we can’t resist the creamy garlic sauce at Pollo Tropical – it’s simply addictive!
10. Popeyes
Finally, we have Popeyes – one of our favorite fast food chicken restaurants. Whether you prefer boneless or bone-in fried chicken, we highly recommend trying it with honey for an extra flavor boost.
11. KFC
Whenever we’re in the mood for the classic taste of fried chicken, KFC is our go-to fast food restaurant. We get a bucket of chicken. And for the ultimate experience, eat your fried chicken with plenty of gravy!
