Jollibee Chickenjoy has been named “the best chain fried chicken in America” by Eater.com, an international food website by Vox Media. The distinction comes after Jollibee’s Chickenjoy bested over 15 global brands in four rounds of contests.
“We are honored that our beloved Chickenjoy has been named as among the best-fried chicken in the US,” shared Maribeth dela Cruz, Jollibee Group’s President for Philippine Brands (Jollibee, Chowking, and Red Ribbon) in North America. “At our core, Jollibee is all about serving great-tasting food and bringing the joy of eating to everyone, and we are glad that more and more people around the world are discovering the joy of our crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy.”
On Jollibee’s win, Eater.com’s Special Projects Editor, Lesley Suter, wrote: “The subtly seasoned skin is as tectonically crunchy as advertised, if loosely attached in such a way as to be able to slide off an entire hunk with one bite… But the real surprise here was the chicken itself: satisfyingly light, flavorful in a ‘tastes like chicken’ sort of way, and supremely moist.”
Now with 83 locations across North America, and over 1,500 restaurants worldwide, Jollibee continues to grow its presence in the U.S. and Canada, with plans of growing to 500 stores in the next five to seven years. The Jollibee Group is now aspiring to become among the top five restaurant companies in the world.
