Mike’s Chicken

If you’re talking about fried chicken in Dallas, Mike's Chicken absolutely belongs in the conversation for one of the best in America.

What makes it stand out is how simple—and how right—it is. The chicken comes out fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned, with a crispy, golden crust that actually stays crunchy. Inside, the meat is incredibly juicy and tender, not greasy or heavy. The seasoning hits that ideal balance: flavorful enough to stand on its own, but classic Texas comfort food without trying to be fancy or trendy.

It’s the kind of place that doesn’t rely on hype—just consistently great fried chicken, big portions, and the kind of quality that makes you stop mid-bite and go, yeah… this is serious.
