"It’s only fitting that Cookie’s Country Chicken has found a home in Ballard, a neighborhood with strong nautical ties. Owner Brian Chandler spent 10 years in the maritime industry, including a stint spent perfecting his fried chicken recipe while feeding oil industry crews in Louisiana. Chandler started Cookie’s as a pop-up, having a consistent spot in Pioneer Square. The new Ballard location includes more menu offerings, with spicy and regular chicken and sides like mashed potatoes with gravy, mac and cheese, and collard greens." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart


"Cookie’s Country Chicken regularly sells out its perfectly-crafted Southern-style chicken." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart

"After building buzz in Seattle for its excellent fried birds, I checked out the new food truck that chef Brian Chandler debuted in the center of Seabrook, Washington; it will be open Wednesdays through Sundays for the rest of the year. The fried chicken relies on a well-timed dredge and precise temperature checks and is served on sandwiches, solo, or in tender form, with sides like sweet-and-spicy collard greens, mac and cheese, and beer-battered fries. The truck will also offer picnic packs for the beach and takeaway family meals, and fans should know the pop-up will continue its residency at Quality Athletics in the Stadium District as well." - Gabe Guarente

"Those looking to spice things up may want to check out the “lovers’ feast” pop-up going on at White Center shop Good Day Donuts with popular roving operation Cookie’s Country Chicken. There are crispy chicken sandwiches with Old Bay or corn fritter breading (plus tenders and Nashville versions). Sides include spicy slaw, jambalaya, and Cajun green beans, with heart-shaped doughnuts for dessert. Preorders available through Tock." - Gabe Guarente

"I’d like to see the current energy of pop-ups continue, and Cookie’s Country Chicken is one of the pop-up examples I have in mind." - Gabe Guarente
