The Art of Chicken — top-tier chicken in Bucktown. Modern space that photographs well but eats even better. Freshness is the baseline here. Tami Jo Dukie: "The chicken is incredibly tender and so well seasoned"

“The chicken was delicious”
Should be called the “art of salt. mediocre is being kind they use fake Parmesan cheese and a Caesar salad.
Not sure if they had to kill and clean the chicken first, but it took 2 HOURS for my order to be delivered (via DoorDash).
Food is ok here, the service is unfortunately trash.

“Best roasted chicken in the neighborhood.”
Best roasted chicken in the neighborhood! You can choose between "el Jefe" and "crazy Chico" - I'm an el jefe man myself - soooo juicy. (they marinate overnight) with perfect char. The next time you are thinking about getting a rotisserie chicken, pick up a whole chicken from here instead, and elevate your game.

“This is the probably the best grilled chicken I’ve eaten.”
This is the probably the best grilled chicken I’ve eaten. The people are really nice, the chicken is flavorful and not rubbery. I’ll definitely be back

“Amazing food & associates.”
Amazing food & associates. Will be back. Again and again! Even if it is 6 hours away. Whole chicken with a side for each is good for a family of 4. = about $10-15/person. 5/5⭐️

“This place is absolutely phenomenal.”
This place is absolutely phenomenal! The chicken is incredibly tender and so well seasoned! The mashed potatoes are homemade, with skin on, and they will blow your mind, literally. The pita bread is served warm and soft, and absolutely delicious! We got ours delivered to Logan Square, and it was so well wrapped that it was still plenty warm and we enjoyed it fully. We will definitely order again. It was incredibly good! THANK YOU!

“The el que Mo sandwich was so fire.”
The el que Mo sandwich was so fire! This place is clean and does the limited menu in a masterful way. I tend to not gravitate towards chicken places but this place is an exception and I can recommend it. The prices are reasonable as well.

“This was my family's first time going.”
This was my family's first time going. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The chicken was delicious. Everything was well seasoned. The cashier/server was very helpful in providing information. He let us know right away what options were unavailable for the day, so we could make an informed decision. The half size is very filling. Both my hubby and son were stuffed. I went with the quarter. Good if you're not too hungry. If you ARE hungry, I recommend the half size.

Chicken was flavorful and juicy down to the bone! Came here with the munchies and it hit the spot! The chicken was fantastic and so were the sides. The people were great as well and were very friendly and gave off a very welcoming and positive vibe!

“Incredible grilled chicken.”
Incredible grilled chicken! The flavor was outstanding, and the sides were equally fantastic with generous portions—particularly loved the sweet potato, mashed potatoes, and the elote. The chicken order also included warm pita bread. The service is very friendly, and the restaurant has a lively and colorful vibe.
