Troy's Best Fried Chicken

You want the best fried chicken in Troy? Good.

You’ve come to the right strip mall. This is a city where a market’s pita bread and a taproom’s air hockey table are just as essential to the crunch as the bird itself.

We’re talking everything from a delicate, floral whisper at Alchemi to the loud, halal cluck of Hot Chicks that demands a biscuit fort. Saroki’s honey-glazed biscuit alone is a reason to move here.

Now stop circling the parking lot. Get in line.

Hot Chicks House of Chicken

Highlights
Generous portions, fair prices
Halal chicken, perfectly crispy
Flavorful southern greens, turkey bacon

Hot Chicks House of Chicken hits like a drumstick to the soul. Portions are enormous. Prices are fair. Halal chicken arrives with a crust so crispy it crackles like a symphony in your mouth. The southern greens with turkey bacon? Oh wow. That turkey bacon adds a smoky grace. Sweet pickles cut through the richness. House-made tea cools the fire. Tenders stay juicy every time. This is not a subtle bird. It is a confident, loud cluck of fried perfection. I want to build a shrine. Maybe a fort made of biscuits. Then eat it.
