Sushi-san

You thought Sushi-san only had Sushi? So wrong. Japanese people are actually know for their unique fired chicken! In our humble opinions, Sushi-san’s Togarashi Chicken Nuggets is definitely one fo the best Fried chickens in Chicago. They’re fresh, spicy, and perfectly breaded. A perfect kick for a lazy, muggy summer afternoon!

Make it easy. If you are looking for the best fried chicken in Chicago, you just can’t go wrong with Boxcar Betty’s.

847 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607
Do we need to say anything else? You can never go wrong with Gus’s! Get a half chicken order with two sides, or a chicken bucket (dark or white meat) for the family. We love their Mac & Cheese and potato salad. And of course, don’t forget to add an order of fried green tomatoes!

Crazy Bird Chicken
1160 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60642
Personally, we prefer their smoked chicken more than anything. But their fried chicken iis just as good. This black-owned restaurant lives up to its name. Go with the classic fired chicken, or try their BBQ offerings like the cherry smoked thighs. We also love their rice and gravy. Honestly, a side order isn’t enough. We need a full order!
