Real Heat. Real Halal.
Byrd's Hot Chicken started with a simple mission: deliver real-deal hot chicken that's crispy, juicy, spicy—and always halal. What began in Anaheim has taken off nationwide, now bringing the fire to neighborhoods across Illinois, Indiana, and more.
Our chicken is always fresh, never frozen, and hand-breaded for that unbeatable crunch. Whether you're going mild or insane, every bite brings the heat and flavor you'll never forget.
What is Halal?
From our Hot Chicken Sandwich stacked with tangy slaw and pickles, to our tender Chicken Tenders and loaded Byrd's Fries, everything on our menu is crafted with care, spice, and halal authenticity.
Byrd's isn't just another chicken joint—we're a halal hot chicken experience made for flavor chasers in Chicago neighborhoods like Wicker Park, Hyde Park, and beyond.
Halal Standards
Halal means "permissible" in Arabic. Our halal certification ensures all meat is sourced ethically, prepared according to Islamic dietary guidelines, and meets the highest quality standards.
