The Best Fried Chicken in Toronto

The best fried chicken in Toronto hits the spot every time with their two-piece combos. We have our share of Nashville-style joints, but the Great Fried North knows how to fry up bird its own way. 

Here's the best fried chicken in Toronto.

3 - PG Cluck's

<p>There are now two locations to get 30-hour brined, 10-spice dredged and fried sandwich heaven. Find PG's original counter squeezed next to the Royal Cinema in Little Italy or order from its newer location by Queen and Abell Streets.</p>
4 - Stockyards Smokehouse and Larder

<p>This St. Clair brunch staple specializes in four-piece buttermilk fried chicken served with fries, coleslaw, and hot sauce. You can also get their chicken atop Belgian waffles and doused in chili honey.</p>
6 - Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken

<p>This pop-up has finally found a somewhat permanent home inside the <a href="https://ift.tt/36VEc23 Brewing</a>. Tokyo Hot’s owner Jordan brings Japanese karaage together with Nashville hot sauce. Don’t miss out on the sandwich, with fried chicken, spicy mayo, and ginger slaw.</p>
7 - The Heartbreak Chef

<p>On a small menu of unwieldy comfort foods are handheld eats like the Dutty Chicken Sandwich or The Big Ass Chicken Sandwich. Hit this Dundas West spot for a double-breaded fried affair tossed in carolina butter sauce, with creamy coleslaw on the side.</p>
8 - Union Chicken

<p>Tucked inside Toronto's transit hub, Union Station, is Carbon Bar's sister restaurant dedicated to chicken. Dishes like their OG Fried Chicken Sandwich and signature buttermilk, boneless thighs are a one-way ticket to flavour town.</p>
9 - The Dirty Bird

<p>Kensington Market's go-to for chicken and waffles has been frying up gluten-free, halal chicken for six years. Thighs and legs are dredged in rice flour, and a very Canadian coating of sweet maple dust is the key to its NFC (Northern Fried Chicken) designation.</p>
10 - Patois

<p>This Dundas West destination for Caribbean-Asian meals has a signature dish called the O.G. Fried Chicken: a juicy three-piece meal with sweet sriracha for dipping. It comes with watermelon pickle, daikon, and jalapeno on the side.</p>
5 - Chica's Nashville Hot Chicken

<p>Southern-style chicken is done right at this corner spot in the Junction. Given its origins, it's no surprise portions here are massive. You can up the spice level to "hot AF" and drizzle your pieces of free-run bird with homemade buttermilk ranch dip for extra levels of flavour.</p>
11 - Love Chix

<p>It’s all about chicken for this brand. While the original Junction Triangle location originally concentrated more on rotisserie, you'll now find the same menu there and at their Assembly Chef's Hall stall. That includes tasty fried chicken, always with their honey hot sauce.</p>
