Chica's Chicken
Chica's Chicken is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.
It’s all for the love of fried chicken! We are a husband and wife team with a serious passion for fried chicken and all things spicy. We believe that high quality ingredients, generous portions, and good ol’ hospitality are key to a perfect casual joint. This isn’t a carbon copy of another fried chicken restaurant in Nashville. We do our own thing, our own way, with a lot of heart. All of our spice blends are made in-house; even our Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers are blended by hand to ensure we are using the purest and hottest peppers possible! All our chickens are brought in from a local Ontario farm, are grain-fed, free-run, never receive any hormones or steroids, and are 100% halal.

Have eaten here a few times, but only once since getting to visit Nashville. Can confirm that of all the “Nashville” hot chicken sandwiches I have had in this city this one is BY FAR the most authentic. The flavor, the spice, the coleslaw, everything was nearly identical to the original. The chicken to crunch ratio is perfect!! Unfortunately their new location is not the most inviting. It was quite dark and very aged diner chic, but let’s be honest, that is far less important than the food itself. Anyone who knows me knows I love a hot chicken sandwich. In my humble opinion Chica’s is easily top 3, arguably the best, in the city.

Finally made it here. Got the og chicken sando (medium) with Cajun waffle fries. The chicken had a good kick to it (their medium would be a hot elsewhere) and sandwich was good. Overall food was good but not sure worth the trek to

Must have been an off day, for about 25min food wasn’t coming out. I came in solo, but there were about 8 of us waiting. A couple orders came out for pick up, but not for the people waiting inside. Then at about 30min of waiting they started bringing out everyone’s food. Tasted good, relatively simple. Hard to recommend if it comes with the long wait

The food was pretty good and service was friendly. We got the OG sandwich and the sweet heat sandwich with a large order of Cajun waffle fries. The sweet heat sandwich was tangy and the chicken was juicy and tender but could have used a bit of more crispiness. My friend got the OG sandwich at the "Hot" level but said it wasn't hot enough for him. The Cajun waffle fries were good the seasoning was perfect on them. Improvement suggestions: I feel like the store could use an upgrade in terms of decor and cleanliness and organization. It also took quite some time to get our order even though they weren't too busy. The sandwiches and fries weren't as hot as they could have been given they were made fresh to order.

The best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! I got the OG Sando on brioche. The chicken was moist, and perfectly battered and fried with a delicious mix of spices. The toppings of pickles and coleslaw completed the perfect sandwich. I cannot wait to go back!

Amazing chicken Sandwich. One of the first recommended places I'm trying for fried chicken and deserved place as one of the best in Toronto. Had the OG sandwich with brioche bun and the waffle fries. The Chica's sauce (buttermilk ranch) is a must have (included with fries, extra for the sandwich). Will come again.

Before a trip to Toronto with some friends I Googled "best fried chicken in Toronto" and Chicas was the first one that came up, and it delivered! We were blown away by how juicy, rich, and flavourful every bite was. I got the hot honey sandwich, and it truly was the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Worth the journey, 6/5, plan on coming back every visit!

This spicy fried chicken is seriously finger-licking good. The crispy skin crackles with each bite, giving way to juicy, tender meat. The heat is just right, building with each mouthful but never overwhelming. It's the kind of food that makes you want to slow down and savor every moment. Definitely a must-try for any fried chicken lover.
