The 6-piece Leg & Thigh combo and the generous 16-piece Tenders ensure there’s plenty to share or savor solo.

Complement your meal with addictive sides like the Spiral Fries, delightfully crispy and fun to eat, or the Crisscut Sweet Potato Fries, which bring a perfect hint of sweetness and crunch. The Onion Rings emerge golden-brown and incredibly crisp, ideal for dipping. For something a bit different, the Corn Cheese melts a luscious blend of cheese over sweet corn, crowned with fresh herbs—comfort food at its best.

Beyond the fried delights, Chicken University also tempts with Korean-inspired dishes such as the Kimchi Fried Rice, bursting with tangy, spicy notes, and the Spicy Rice Cake, where chewy rice cakes mingle with fish cakes and a boiled egg in their secret spicy sauce, delivering complex layers of flavor that warm from the inside out.
