Best Fried Chicken Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"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

Surprisingly great food! For less than $15, two people shared “the poutine one” and were both full after. The chicken pieces on top were huge and more than enough cheese throughout. Really good mac & cheese too. Super friendly service. Will definitely come back.

This chicken joint is as real as they come! As soon as you walk in it’s just a chill spot with a dope vibe. Cashier was super friendly and being I’ve never been here to eat I tend to let the people who work there make the decisions for me. Sandwich was super delicious, very flavorful and a nice bit of heat to it, nothing crazy and overpowering. Fries were nice and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside perfect temperature to match. I’ll be revising this place before I depart Seattle

Amazing chicken! I had the bites (boneless chicken tenders) with a side of coleslaw slaw. The chicken was crispy, hot, with great breading. You can opt for spicy, but I went plain. I added hot honey sauce for dipping and would recommend it. My son got ranch and a tartar. The ranch is not your average... very tasty! My husband had mac n cheese, which he says was delicious. If they had a red beans and rice dish here, I would be here every day!

This was probably the best chicken joint I've ever been to! By far, better than KFC or Raisin' Canes. All of the sauces were superb, and we got two for free. The staff was extremely friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. The crispy fries were excellent, and the bag o' bites were big, juicy, and flavorful! And, the portion sizes were large. I'll definitely be back next time I visit Seattle!!

Got Cookie's chicken delivered recently and thought everything was solid but not particularly outstanding. Spices were mostly heat without flavor but the fried chicken texture was great. Would try again in person if I was nearby already.

We had a party of 3, so we were able to order three of the four chicken sandwiches on the menu with fries. The original has some kind of smoky sauce on it that my son said was "spicy". I think he's got the taste buds of a toddler at 16. It also didn't stop him from finishing the entire sandwich. He wants to figure out how they make the chicken so crispy, so I guess we'll be eating a lot of fried chicken until he figures it out. He also rated the fries Double S tier and I'm pretty sure that's good. My 14 year old got the Slawsome. She was surprisingly complaint free. She even complimented the coleslaw. As far as I'm concerned that's as good as a James Beard Award. I had the Hot Honey. The bun turned to mush before I was done. I don't even care. This was the best chicken sandwich I have ever eaten in my life, despite the fact that it tasted like it was shown a bottle of hot honey and was supposed to pick the flavor up through some kind of telekinesis. It was juicy, flavorful, crunchy, crispy, and cooked perfectly. If we lived in the area, Cookie's would be somewhere we ate way too often.

Fast service, very friendly workers with great recommendations and oh man was the food plenty and filling! I got the bag o bites and the chicken was well seasoned on its own but the Smokey sauce and sassy sauce were amazing additions. Absolutely fantastic

Friendly staff happy to explain menu. Atmosphere was great, well decorated. Food is without question top top top tier fried chicken. Top 2 chicken sandwich of all time for me. Can’t wait to go back. Chicken was so juicy. Great texture. Great bun. Perfect spice levels. The fries are amazing.

I can't say enough great things about Cookie's Country Chicken! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine friendliness that made us feel right at home. The service was impeccable--attentive, kind, and welcoming. Now, onto the food: the chicken is phenomenal! Every bite was bursting with flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. It took me back to memories of true, classic country chicken--comfort food at its absolute best. The sides complemented the meal perfectly, and everything tasted so fresh and homemade. If you're looking for a place with delicious food and incredible service, look no further than Cookie's Country Chicken. This spot is a gem, and I'll definitely be back!

What sets this place apart from your ezells' or KFC is that you can taste the flavor on the outside and inside. It's packed with flavor - borderline salty for me but that's just me. Got the level one spice and that's spicy. It's a little greasy so make sure you have napkins ready. I got the drumstick and it wasn't dry at all -come on, it's hard to mess up with dark meat. It's in the pricey side and the neighborhood to get here is shady.

Excellent service and chicken sandwich prepared perfectly. Only things missing are some seasoning to the breast prior to breading and a better sauce as you can't really taste the sauce in it. Casual atmosphere type ambiance. Prices decent. Clean restroom.

New lunch spot in Pioneer Square. My colleagues and I were walking to another eatery when we spotted a huge sign that read Cookie's Country Chicken, which is how I learned the restaurant that was here before closed. And what's funny is that the restaurant that was here before, Pioneer Square D&E was known for their fried chicken lunch special. It's only telling that Cookie's Country Chicken would take over this same spot. We must've visited on opening day because there was filming here of the kitchen crew and staff on a Tuesday during lunch hour. The owner was really nice and was checking in with patrons dining in and delivering food to tables. The place is a casual spot that features ample seating for small groups and individuals, with a lot of people getting takeout. The menu is straightforward, with just three lunch combinations, three chicken sandwiches and a handful of different sides to choose from for your combo. It's all about $15 before tax and tip, which is a cheap lunch in the Seattle area. You order and pay at the counter and pick a table afterwards where staff delivers your food. I ordered the Barn Burner chicken sandwich, which is a fried chicken breast sandwich that's spicy with iceberg lettuce, pickles and mayo. For this sandwich, you can choose your spice level, and I went with two stars, which was not spicy at all. But that didn't bother me because the chicken breast was juicy and flavorful, and I am not a chicken breast fan. I usually find it bland, but this one had good flavor and was perfectly fried. I especially liked the pickles with, for some crunch. Bun was nice and soft. And the sandwich was a good, big size. For a side, I chose the fries, which were double fried, which is how I love my fries! They were crispy and had a nice zest to it, and loved the rowdy ranch sauce I got with. My colleagues all enjoyed their lunch too. The mashed potatoes and gravy side looked hella good, but now that I had the fries here, I'm hooked. I would happily come back here, especially when I'm working in the office, which is just a short walk to here. Cookie's has a solid fried chicken sandwich that'll curb that fried chicken hankering. I'm glad they opened up in Pioneer Square.

Pioneer Square needed a good chicken joint and Cookie's Country Chicken answered the call. The food is high quality and the staff member at the register was a really nice guy. If you dine in you have to bus your own table. If they decide to expand I think they would do well on Capitol Hill. So I got the #1 combo. The chicken sandwich is HUGE. I didn't even get to my side of Mash 'Taters. Ended up taking the leftovers home. Now that they've opened this week I think they'll get a lot of foot traffic from Pioneer Square workers, Waterfront construction workers, and Mariners fans. Concerts at Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park will also bring in hungry folks. It's about a 5-7 minute walk from the International District/Chinatown Station. It's easier to walk here on Jackson Street rather than using the Weller Street Pedestrian Bridge.

Busy place, especially at lunch - great sign! We tried calling to ask a couple of questions but no one answered the phone - clearly they were busy. To look at the menu from the website, you're greeted with a caution you know that their sight isn't secure - how am I supposed to learn your menu? In the end, we just placed the order and hoped for the best. The chicken, indeed, was moist and cooked well, but the side sauces which you pay $.50 for is NOT worth getting. It's flavored mayo, very thin and runny, not something that really sticks to the chicken. Tried 2 flavors and both weren't good. They're in a pretty good area in Pioneer Square (location we chose) but there are quite a lot of homeless people around so it can seem a bit 'rough' if you're not used to that. Inside was bright and you can smell the delicious food they're cooking. Their bucket of chicken only was just over $60, comparable to all the others, but I wish they had breast pieces. Lots of breading so the texture was definitely crunchy. Not sure what all the hype is all about. Good expeience, but I wouldn't go back

Tasty chicken and sauces. Service could be more friendly here. I'd still recommend this place and I'll come back here again.

I get the hype! The flavor, texture, presentation was spot on to all the reviews I've seen. Chicken was super crispy and cooked to perfection. I loved how crispy the chicken was. Still juicy with a good amount of flavor, I chose the "dunk in the mud" spice level and it was perfect for the amount of spice I like. My friend ordered the 2nd level of spice and she thought it was a bit spicy but still enjoyed it. The bun was soft and the toppings tasted fresh. The fries were also very good & were a pretty decent amount. The only thing I would definitely say is the Hot Honey sauce was literally just honey. It's described as a Garlic Habanero & Serrano pepper infused honey. a lot on the description but no flavor aside from honey lol. It was only 50 cents so it's okay but I'll probably opt out for another sauce next time. Still worth the 5 starts for me the sandwich itself had enough flavor that I didn't really need to add sauce. I will definitely come back! Also service good :)

The Food was pretty damn amazing for a small restaurant, it was crispy exactly like it said it was and just like the food the customer service was also just as great. The location of the area is a little sketchy (but it's Seattle what can you say?)

We stumbled upon this spot as we were desperate to find food before a concert at TMobile. The help was so friendly, fast and the food was perfect! If you like chicken this is your spot!

Haven't went yet but fill the Fries, Mac and cheese up for the price. Others do. Potatoes are not that expensive. This is my type of place southern and all but...

Best Fried Chicken Sandwich in Pioneer Square, possibly in all of Seattle. The staff is always friendly and it's a great place to catch an M's game.

Food is beyond 5 stars and the service is fast and friendly. Chill and spacious. Good music, clean tables, great food and service; can't ask for much more.

Definitely enjoyed my Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. Perfectly spicy and juicy chicken breast. Pot O' Gold (corn plus mash potatoes and gravy) was unique and tasty. Friendly staff and simple vibes with classic country tunes.

Austin is a real one. The chicken is so juicy, service is on point and the options for non chicken people (cauliflower bites) were 10/10. Chill ambiance too for a quick bite before the mariners game.

Quick lunch pickup? Yes. Just trying it out because why not, now I am questioning why I'd eat anywhere else. Run, don't walk to get yours.
