I've been coming here for years and they are the most awesome chicken place in Chicago as well as Illinois. Everything's always fresh and perfect Employees have a great smile and a beautiful attitude The owner is a legend

Friend showed me this place and I can't get enough of it. My rec: order the chicken roll with hot sauce if you're extra hungry get a side of potatoes or rice. My God these people can cook. Family-owned business, reasonable prices, quick service, incredible serving sizes.

Solid product!! The chicken is always on point and the service is fast and efficient!! A must try

Super fan of fresh chicken and rice, so this place was top tier. The flavor you get here, especially with the hot sauce is phenomenal. The employees are super easygoing and eager to get you great service. The shop itself isn't too big, but super efficient! 10/10 recommend if you're job the area!

I love this place so much. I came across it because there was an amazing smell coming from my work break room. I asked my coworker what he was eating and he told me it was Chicken Planet. He told me the pricing is very reasonable as well and that it is his favorite place. I kept it in mind for months but never went because I assumed it was far from my office. One day I was wanting to take a walk so I thought I might as well walk to Chicken Planet and check it out. Turns out, the place is basically across the street from my work! It's a very humble shop with a few places to sit and menu boards. The man working the register, whom I assume is the owner, was SO nice. He was telling me their salsa is very spicy and I told him I drink hot sauce so he gave me an extra one for free! Their salsa...TO DIE FOR. I love it so much you don't understand. I could eat it EVERY DAY, but alas, I am rarely in the office. You can bet though, when I'm downtown and in the office, this is my GO-TO lunch spot! The prices are great, the food is amazing...you cannot go wrong!!! I think their chicken roll is my favorite but their grilled chicken is just so good. AHHH! I can't choose!! Please try this place if you're looking for delicious food at a reasonable cost. I promise you won't regret it.

I ordered the chicken roll with a side of bbq sauce and it was so big, they really filled it up. The chicken had great flavor and the bbq sauce reminds me of chicago mild sauce. 10/10 recommend and super reasonable prices. Service was also quick and helpful.

This place was great for the price. I got a half chicken (white meat) with rice, pita bread, and a drink for about $7. The bbq sauce was a joke. It was basically watered down ketchup. Other than that it was great. Seemed to get pretty busy during the lunch hour, but they were prepared and efficient with getting people moved through the line to order and receive their food.
