Chitown Chicken — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

I asked the chicken not to be re-dropped. I specifically asked for them to drop it in the fryer FRESH. But 👎 no. They don't fry fresh chicken. It's re-fried twice. 12 pieces of dark chicken cost $18.99 - and they are dried out small pieces, mostly drum sticks. The used to drop it fresh. Now if you ask for freshly made, they just lie, and say it'll be ready in 15min. It takes at least 20-22 minutes to fry freshly dropped chicken

Inside of restaurant is not very clean; dirt embedded in the crevices, corners, and floor

I rarely do reviews, unless the food is really great or the food is terrible, and this food is far from great...

Stopped by Chitown Chicken on the West Side and grabbed the 6 wings with fries and a chicken Philly. The wings were decent—crispy and flavorful—but the fries were soggy and lacked seasoning. The chicken Philly had potential but was a bit dry and could've used more cheese. Service was friendly, but the wait was longer than expected. Not terrible, but with so many options in Chicago, I was...
