Chicken On The Way

This is the original location of one of the longest-running fast food institutions in Calgary (opened 1958). Chicken On The Way delivers wonderful deep-fried chicken, french fries and corn fritters, at a fair price. This is an old-school joint; no frills, nothing fancy, and none of that new-fangled low-fat junk. The dining space here is two picnic tables next to busy 14th St. But it's still hands-down the best fried chicken in the city. A meal runs in the $8-10 range. There are other locations in Mackenzie Towne, Macleod Trail (in Brick Plaza), Forest Lawn, and Temple; these locations have tables so that you can dine in.
