Chicken Hut

Some of the best chicken ive had! The seasoning is amazing and the skin is super crispy - I do prefer the darker meat pieces since they are more juicier.

Their pita is addicting too! Great sides. Highly recommend eating there as it is steaming hot!

Friendly staff. Definitely not a fancy place but thats how you know the food is gonna be good!

I was encouraged by all the great reviews but what I had tonight from the Chicken Hut wasn't great at all. I ordered the half chicken combo and while the dark meat pieces were fairly juicy, the white meat pieces were overcooked and terribly dry. Not enough seasoning on the chicken either. The rice side was just 'meh'. Even the Hawaiian Punch tasted watery. Very disappointed.

I was confused if the chicken was grilled or fried. It was dry and they offered only one side with your half chicken plate. If you wanted another side, there would be an up-charge for the extra side. The chicken was burnt over and dry, wasn't really a fan. People did say the chicken was good so I gave them a try, but wasn't to my liking.

Edited: my first experience here was fine but I got the worst food poisoning of my life the second time around... not returning. If you want to quickly lose five pounds then eat here.

One time, walking up and down Broadway, we could not resist the smell of the grilled chicken out of this corner restaurant. We decided to walk in and order...the menu is pretty simple...whole chicken, half chicken, quarter chicken...then you pick your side....easy.

The chicken was so delicious....the portion was large and the flavor profile of the marinate was right on point....

The place is like a diner, so it's no frills, very casual, almost what you see in Latin America. But the taste will have you come back...again and again....

Fresh sides and good chicken. You get what you pay for and it's definitely worth it for a food meal!

Best grilled chicken on Broadway. Eat in or takeout, fair price. Parking is tough, best to walk.

Best chicken in the state of Illinois. How they get the bread to taste so good. From the outside this place does not look like anything special but you have to go.

Chicken Hut...WHAT?!?!?! I always kinda wanted to try this place because I figured if it has been open for so long on that busy corner, it must be good. But then I'd scare myself away. Finally ordered this weekend for delivery through Doordash (was feeling too lazy to walk a mile). The order arrived in under 15 minutes! The chicken was still piping hot when we opened it up.

We got a half chicken, upgraded to all white meat (don't judge). It was two breasts and two wings, and MASSIVE ones at that. Plus rice and mashed potatoes and it came with a surprise salsa and pita. Confusing vibes but it all somehow works. Mashed potatoes weren't my favorite ever but I liked the rice. We were stuffed and sooo impressed. Definitely coming back here.

There are a handful of grilled chicken restaurants like Chicken Hut across the city. They either have gas or charcoal grills. As you would expect, I'm partial to the charcoal option. Pollo Express in Pilsen is probably my favorite.

Charcoal just imparts more flavor. Chicken Hut cooks Purdue chickens on gas grills. They do a great job with temps, but the chicken isn't seasoned well. There's enough salt, but they need a better spice mix. .. garlic maybe. ..even Adobo would be a major improvement. There's also something off about the oil they use for grilling.

Orders are fulfilled quickly. Don't expect much from the pita or sides. Overall a reasonably priced option for a filling meal. 2.75 stars.
