What User likes about Chicken on the Way:
I've been going to this place since I was a kid, and it's the best fried chicken I've ever had! It's a Calgary institution. The only thing better than the fried chicken is the corn fritters. Reasonable prices, some variety including fish and shrimp, and quick service. No seating inside, and limited seating outside. Great for takeout! Would highly recommend. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Chicken on the Way:
We were so hungry and stopped by to buy some chicken to eat. We took a take out and came home and when we had it, it was so salty that we couldn't eat even though we were so hungry, ended up eating fries. we bought the hungry man dinner which left us hungry for the night View all feedback.

Chicken on The Way in Calgary offers a nostalgic experience with tasty chicken, fries, and corn fritters, reminiscent of earlier decades in the city. The food is affordable and cooked right in front of you, but the restaurant itself could use a renovation. Some customers have reported unappetizing gravy and greasy fries, while others rave about the juicy chicken and delicious fritters. Overall, the long-standing establishment is considered a classic Calgary spot worth trying for a taste of the past.

This is the one and only joint in Calgary whose chicken doesn't give my boyfriend Norman diarrhea! I think the key is the seasoning- It really is a delicate dan...
