The Top 5 Chicken Fingers in the ATL

Recently, my cousins and I went around the table sharing our favorite foods during dinner, and we all agreed that chicken fingers are our favorite. They are one of the most common menu items in America, and a meal you can always order and rarely be disappointed with. American kids grow up on chicken fingers, and I have never met someone who does not love them. Without further ado, here are what I believe to be the best places in Atlanta to get this popular meal. I’ve listed these restaurants from my least favorite at five to my absolute favorite at one.

5. Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-a is a classic! If you live in Atlanta, you must know Chick-fil-a. If you have not had these chicken fingers and you live near one, go get them now! They are hand-breaded and pressure cooked in peanut oil, which gives them a flavor different than most chicken fingers. They also have many great sauces for dipping the fingers including Chick-fil-a, Polynesian, and Honey Roasted BBQ.

4. Zaxby’s

Zaxby’s chicken fingers are the best if you are in a hurry. They come with a side of buttery and warm Texas toast as well as crinkle-cut fries seasoned with a cajun blend of spices. The seasoning on Zaxby’s chicken fingers is what makes them so delicious. They also have Zax sauce which I think makes the chicken taste ten times better. They are also more affordable than other options.

3. Cheesecake Factory

Cheesecake Factory’s chicken fingers are more upscale, similar to Houston's. These chicken fingers dipped in their delicious ranch sauce is the perfect combination. I 100% recommend getting chicken fingers from the Cheesecake Factory when you have a chance.

2. Houston’s

Houston's chicken fingers are unlike any other. The breading is less traditional than most chicken fingers, as it is very unique and gives the fried chicken a more powerful flavor. These are more upscale and pricey chicken fingers, but they are definitely worth the extra penny. These have been my favorite since before I can remember.

1. Rock’s Chicken

These chicken fingers are spectacular! The breading is very crispy and they are seasoned to perfection. In addition to the fried chicken, they have a huge selection of homemade sauces. Their biggest hit is the bbq buttermilk ranch (it is my personal favorite). To finish off the chicken fingers, they serve homemade custard which is to die for.

Out of the hundreds of places where you could get chicken fingers in Atlanta, these are my top five favorites. If you are in the mood for a good chicken finger, go check one of these out! Or if you’re really hungry, maybe check out more than one!
