Northern Chicken - Edmonton, Alberta

Came here on the Northern Chickens birthday! Had a mini chicken sandwhich with the wnfa sauce with the hot maple. Nice sweetness with an intense spice. The honey thyme was awesome as well. A corn bread that's served with a sweet butter and honey dip. I've had the award winning ... mac and cheese in the past. Not a fan of it unfortunately, but everything else has been good! Read more

Chill atmosphere. Great place to hang out on a warm day and have some great food and drinks. Chicken was hot, crispy on the outside and moist inside. The mac and cheese was amazing. Definitely understand why it won awards. We went on a Wednesday which has $2 pieces of chicken. Loved the experience. ... Will go again. Read more

Amazing food! Amazing service! This was my first time at Northern Chicken and it did not disappoint. The chicken was the crispiest and tastiest I’ve ever had in my life! The Dorito Mac and Cheese was life changing and the smashed potatoes were unbelievably good! We had the buttermilk pie ... for desert and I can’t believe how delicious such a simple thing can be. Every moment of my visit was amazing. I can’t wait to go back! Don’t miss out on eating at this Gem of a place! Read more

Another YEG hit! We were in Edmonton for an appointment and saw on Twitter that Northern Chicken comes highly recommended so we thought we'd check it out. First of all, the atmosphere was like cupids arrow right into my husband's heart with its throwback 90's rap music and memorabilia tastefully ... placed throughout. It's a relaxed atmosphere where everyone is there to eat great food and have a good time. The staff at this location are all fabulous - they are authentic and that goes a long way. The food - omg. The food is bang on. I mean, fried chicken is something we have maybe once or twice a year and this was worth the drive. Can we get a Northern Chicken in YYC? 😁 The corn bread is big - definitely a sharable size, unless you love it so much (like we did) that sharing was tough. Hubby got the hot chicken with a side of smashed garlic potatoes and was very impressed. I opted for the honey hot with a nice balance of sweet and spicey (not as spicey as I expected and that's totally fine as I didn't bring my antacids). I also added a side of the dill flavoured potato salad (delish)! The coleslaw was good, I never know what to expect when ordering coleslaw - this was crispy, fresh and had a light sauce - exactly what I like. The best part was obviously the chicken. So fresh and flavored perfectly. You can still taste the chicken and it's not swimming in sauce. Breaded and fried to perfection where the outside has a crunch and the inside is nice and juicy. Plenty of food selections, cocktails and a great beer list too! Support these folks - they've done well! Read more

Chicken was great - very juicy. Overall best chicken I've had in Edmonton! Good menu to select from. I had the hot and mustard flavors. Also had the mini sandwiches and a large order of the mac and cheese. I will definitely be back. The staff was also very friendly and ... offers to explain the menu to you. Read more
