Byrd’s Hot Chicken

is coming to Algonquin on February 4th!

The new chicken sandwich restaurant will open this month and will be serving all kinds of delicious chicken entrees, sandwiches, tenders, and more.

They will offer chicken in various spice levels, from no spice at all to mild, medium, hot, and “supahot.”

The restaurant started in Anaheim, CA, and is growing fast. They have some of the best chicken sandwiches, and will now be very close to our apartment complex in the coming months. They also sell french fries, potato salad, and more.

It’s always nice to be able to walk to some really good food, and the Algonquin Commons shopping center has some great shopping options if you want to make an afternoon of it and try one of the best chicken sandwiches nearby.

They also have a plant-based chicken option for those who do not eat meat.

Address

Byrd’s will be located at 1748 S Randall Road, just a 10-minute walk across the street. They are near Bonefish Grill, Tap House Grill, and Bulldog Ale House, right next to Jiang’s Mongolian BBQ and Biaggi’s.

 

Check out the menu, pulled from their website!
