Best Fast Food Fried Chicken In US Is From A Filipino Food Chain
The best fried chicken from a fast food chain in U.S. is not from an American restaurant. This is what a recent poll found.
Jollibee, a popular Filipino fast food chain with locations all across the world, has been voted as the spot that serves the best fried chicken in the U.S., according to a recent list by USA Today.
Jollibee bested other homegrown brands like Chick-fil-A and Bojangles.
The Philippines-based food chain is best known for Chickenjoy -- its signature crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside fried chicken.
"Our signature fried chicken [is] delicately hand-breaded to be next-level crispy on the outside, with a secret marinade making it next-level juicy on the inside," the company described.
Jollibee ASMR videos and vlogs showing influencers trying out food from the restaurant have also seen a surge on social media, with most praising the juiciness and crispiness of Chickenjoy.
Jollibee USA celebrated the recognition by thanking its loyal customers via social media.
"A huge thank you to all our fans! USA Today @10Best has named our Chickenjoy the best fast food fried chicken thanks to you!"
The chain, represented by a very jolly bee, is the flagship brand of the Jollibee Foods Corporation -- the largest and fastest-growing Asian restaurant company in the world. The chain has over 100 stores in North America and 1,500 across the globe.
