An absolute GEM... Chicken On The Way is a great little place. Its a secret that isn't such a secret serving "never been frozen Chicken" for as long as I can remember them opening their doors to the public. The Staff are hardworking friendly and efficient. They spend the time helping you order where necessary and communicate well if their cooking up some new fries if it will take a minute or two longer. The Larger iconic Chicken/Rooster (up for a debate... lol) statue that welcomes clients is a comforting site knowing that this establishment is still there servicing clients after all these years without fail. The food is tasty and great... love love the corn fritters. On that note... I just celebrated my birthday and stopped by to get a FREE Two Chicken snack pack that had fries and a Corn Fritter included. All I had to do was show my proof of Birthdate and BAM I received my bag of goodies! No need to register this or download that APP. No hassles or questionnaires... just a feeling of genuine appreciation that you were a client of theirs. I invite you to stop by... theres parking out front (personal parking lot) for clients to use for free. I like the Kensington location as its the "OG" for me. Thanks for reading my two cents.

Chicken on the way chicken is aces. The large "hack" deep fry technique is all their own. I am not sure how they can lighten up such large, pieces and this is maybe due to their own supply chain from local farms or some other deeply kept secret: I have no idea but I love the huge variety of types of chicken in the family pack. The corn fritters are equally of an amazing distinct quality and in some sort of "honey badger" gesture there are deliberate whole corn kernels inside. The original location has to be seen and ordered from to to be believed. What is also surprising is the pricing of the product which I would suggest is accessible to students from to the local high school to those who cater private events. Be daring and line up for your order is my advice: watch the folks wrap the boxes with care because it is worth it.

1. Service - Very friendly staff, very welcoming, recommended me what's popular and what to order. Food was prepared real quick. 2. Atmosphere - It's your average take out place, can't expect much. 3. Food - When it comes to food itself then it is extremely disappointing. We unboxed and ate the chicken inside the next door shwarma place. Lots of chicken for 16 dollars but quality was bare minimum. Chicken was far from crispy. One of the breast piece is ginormous T-rex size and was raw in the middle. There are many people who recommended us to order corn fritters but now I am not sure many people know what actual corn fritters are. When I open the fritters I can count no more than 5 piece of corn kernel. So its basically your average fritters with a hint of corn.

The worst French fries I have ever seen in my life, you can’t even give this to an animal. How do you not get fries right??? And how do you think serving a paid customer this atrocity is ok I wish I opened this box of abomination before I got home. Looked like they had refried this rubbish over and over again and then served it. This is soooo wrong, I am utterly disgusted by this place and would never visit. I should have seen all the red flags, the kitchen was visible and it was obviously dirty, one of the workers wore a shirt filled with grime, you could tell that shirt hadn’t been washed in weeks. This place needs to be inspected for food handling, health and safety !!!!!!

Ordered online from their website because I knew I would be in a rush after work to get dinner to the kids. Made the order 4 hours before my requested pick up time. They didn’t START making my order until I got to the front of the line to ask about my order and by that time they had run out of chicken and needed to cook more. In the end I ended up waiting for over 20 minutes for my order. No apology. No offer of reduced rate. No offer of a gifted item. Terrible service.

Love this place, I've literally traveled to calgary for chicken on the way primarily. the chicken recipe is amazing, the fries are ok, but they give you lots of it. The corn fritters are incredible with the honey. Ask for hot sauce and gravy, it'll change your experience for the better.

Photos don't do justice. Hands down best fried chicken ever. The skin is so crispy it's crunchy, you can hear it as you munch on them. Well made. Don't be fooled by that large chicken out in the front, he is very charming and after we drove past this place hundreds of times, his charming good looks enticed us in. Too bad we never did this earlier, we will not be buying anywhere else!

I'm one of many who has driven by probably hundreds of times without going in, but luckily my passing of chicken on the way coincided with looking for a lunch stop today and I was not disappointed! Wishing I went earlier. Fresh cut fries were fantastic, chicken was crispy and delicious and the corn fritter was an awesome side. Snack pack was a great amount of food for the price too. Definitely will be back and probably will be a CotW loyal from now on

I don't know why people are saying the chicken is juicy. Maybe it's cause I ordered the chicken strips but they were so DRY! See photo! And the coleslaw had no flavour and barely any dressing. The fries were overcooked. They are hard. And the fritter was overcooked too. I had a few bites out of everything in the box and had to throw it all out. Only came here cause someone recommended it.

First visit. It was worth trying. Service is top notch, very friendly. The quality of the chicken was good... It was not filled with pockets of fat and grease like you would find at other fried chicken places. Prices are very reasonable.

Such an amazing place! The fried chicken was excellent, the fries were pretty damn good, the potato salad and gravy were fantastic, but the corn fritters were unreal. Couldn’t suggest it more!

Really disappointed. Bought a large chicken meal with fritters and fries only for the chicken and fritters to taste like bad oil. The whole meal had the taste of old oil and was so unappetizing I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I drive past all the time and really had high hopes for the place. Such a waste of money. More

Nice greasy Chicken! I really like home style fried chicken that is so greasy but so juicy in the inside. Their fries are okay and corn fritters was big enough to fill your appetite. We ordered the Hungry Man- 5 BiG pieces of chicken, fries, and two corn fritters for $13. Affordable and delicious …

Providing free meals to serving and retired veterans on Remembrance Day is a amazing. Great community support. I thank you

It's take out only. Good home made fries, good prices. Good Chicken, good fish and chips. Prices have gone up a couple bucks since last year but still cheaper than others or on par. I prefer over the kernel tho. More

Oh my goodness... this was the most tasteless chicken I have ever tasted. This was not even seasoned. Just had some flour and deep fried. Very oily. The corn fritters barely had any corn in it. Worst meal ever...

Place has always had good corn fritters but putting lids in the bottom of our large potato salad so that there is less food is just unacceptable, this should be charged a medium. I won't be coming back

The supervisor (Gina) at chicken on the way is excellent. Top tier quality customer care. Give that woman a raise!

3 pcs chicken dinner for $8.99 is a grewt deal and the pieces were big, plenty of fries, good coleslaw and a corn fritter. Chicken was moist and not greasy. Very good.
