Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches with customizable heat levels.
"Fry The Coop started in the suburbs, and unlike your cousin, this is a suburban import we enjoy. The counter-service spot’s menu has four fried chicken sandwiches (including one on a donut), chicken and waffles, tenders, and sides. Their specialty is Nashville hot chicken, and there are six heat levels to choose from (ranging from “country” to ’insanity”).We suggest finding a designated driver if you order anything above “hot.”" - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"The star of the menu at this suburban import is Nashville hot chicken, and the temperature is not for the weak. The sandwiches are crunch and moist. The space, the former Mexique, never got a chance to develop a rhythm pre-pandemic, but there’s a full bar inside." - Eater Staff
"Fry The Coop started in the suburbs, and unlike your cousin, this is a suburban import we enjoy. Their specialty is Nashville hot chicken and it is seriously hot. There are six heat levels to choose from (ranging from “country” to ’insanity”) and we suggest finding a designated driver if you order anything above “hot.” If you really appreciate and seek out spicy, juicy chicken, you’ll love this sandwich." - adrian kane
"Fry the coop, a fried chicken spot is doing curbside delivery for all its locations. And who doesn’t want a chicken sandwich brought to them in their car?" - adrian kane
"Fly the coop and head over to West Town for hot chicken. Influenced by venerable Nashville restaurants like Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack and Hattie B’s, owner Joe Fontana brings the heat. The intensity ranges from mild to “lil insanity” and diners can get their sandwiches with spicy honey butter or on a glazed doughnut. Fry the Coop also has suburban locations in Oak Lawn, Elmhurst, Tinley Park, and Prospect Heights." - Ashok Selvam, Jeffy Mai
