Have you been in the mood for some incredible fried chicken and haven’t been quite sure where to go to get it? Since there is no shortage of selection in the GTA, the choice as to where to dine can be a tough one–especially when great fried chicken restaurants are plentiful across cities. 

When it comes to great fried chicken, every ingredient counts. Is the skin crispy and crunchy in all the right places? Is the chicken tender and cooked to perfection? Is the sauce–if there is any–absolutely delicious?

Both Mississauga and Brampton are known for their respective food scenes, and both offer a ton of excellent fried chicken joints–but only one city can have the absolute best hotspots.

You can vote for your favourite in the poll below.

If you’re in the mood for fried chicken, there are a number of Mississauga places worth checking out, and they include the hip, stylish and urban Door FiftyFive in Port Credit, the elegant and modern The Wilcox Gastropub, the Korean fried chicken specialist that is the long-standing K-Pocha, the casual and unassuming (but very rewarding) Broast Inn Chicken and Waffles and our number one pick, the beloved Filipino import that is Jollibee.
