Chicken is a staple in the American diet—almost all restaurants around America serve chicken strips or chicken nuggets. While chicken is a very popular and delicious dish, it is clear  that some restaurants serve superior chicken. These ratings of the beloved dish will help you choose where to go next time you’re craving some good chicken.

Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A is an obvious choice when it comes to chicken. Known for the original chicken sandwich, Chick-fil-A is at the top of the list. Whether you’re eating a chicken sandwich or chicken nuggets, Chick-fil-A is guaranteed to produce high quality, crispy and savory goodness every time.

10/10

Raising Cane’s

Cane’s is another top choice when it comes to chicken. While Cane’s chicken is not up to par with Chick-fil-A, it is still good. Cane’s chicken is sometimes dry, and the breading also often falls off or is very close to falling off while you eat it. However, all of the problems with the chicken can be ignored when eaten with Cane’s sauce. This mysterious sauce is what brings Cane’s chicken back to the top of the scale.

8/10

Dairy Queen

While Dairy Queen is not a restaurant that specializes in chicken, their chicken is still quite good. DQ serves tender white meat with crispy golden breading. The chicken tastes good by itself or when paired with the signature DQ gravy. While the chicken always tastes delicious, it sometimes comes in small portions, which can be disappointing after looking forward to a big meal of Dairy Queen chicken.

8/10

Freddy’s

Freddy’s specializes in steak burgers, not chicken, and they should keep it that way. While most places have tasty chicken no matter what they typically serve, Freddy’s chicken is just not good. The breading is not as crispy and golden as most places. The chicken itself does not taste like good, quality chicken and often has bad parts. Overall, Freddy’s chicken just does not meet the standard when compared to other restaurants.

4/10

Burger King

As of September, Burger King has started serving chicken strips. While it would seem odd for a burger restaurant to have good chicken, Burger King definitely does. Their chicken is juicy white meat surrounded by very crispy brown breading. The chicken itself is high quality and the breading makes everything even better. While sometimes these chicken strips may also come on the smaller side, it doesn’t take away from the overall quality of the chicken.

9/10

Overall, the best place to get chicken is really up to you. However one thing is for sure, if you’re looking for a good tasty meal, chicken is always an easy answer.
