124 E. 35th St., Bronzeville
Here you see exactly what made Harold’s a legend. The golden, muscular birds are fried in consistently fresh oil, seasoned to peppery perfection, and saturated in the famous acidic sauce. The Muhammad Ali–fixated decor makes perfect sense, because No. 88 floats like a butterfly, even during the heavy lunch hour, and the sweet, salty, and tangy flavors sting like — well, you get the idea. The agreeable staff and the nonstop crush of customers know it: This Harold’s is the truth.
101 Joliet St., Dyer, Indiana
Just across the Indiana border, this cheery little box of a restaurant — which sports a custom welcome mat emblazoned with the store number and location — is everything a Harold’s should be. The fowl’s delicate but rich batter shatters at first bite. Go at lunch and join other patrons in calling out answers to Family Feudon the TV.
100 W. 87th St., West Chatham
In a strip mall abutting a larger strip mall, this reliable and charmingly ramshackle outpost — where Katie Couric once broke white bread with Chance the Rapper — boasts plenty to do while you wait. Galaga! Digital jukebox! Unfortunately, you’re always waiting; fortunately, the blistered drumsticks are worth it.
3577 E. New York St., Aurora
The holding cell decor won’t win any design awards, but the chicken — in a sauce sweeter than typical — is some of the chain’s finest. Moist, greaseless skin oozes with beef tallow flavor (this is a good thing) and melts into tender meat.
4527 W. Lincoln Highway, Matteson
The striking orange walls mimic Harold’s famous sauce — a fiery ambrosia that No. 49 magically infuses both the chicken and the fries with, without nullifying the satisfying crunch.
4142 W. 167th St., Oak Forest
Touchscreen payment? A marble countertop? A chipper employee who actually welcomes you when you walk in? What is this, Chipotle? Thank the Lord for No. 29’s juicy, thick-battered thighs, which overpower the cognitive dissonance.
7200 S. Western Ave., Marquette Park
The cartoonishly large fire extinguisher dangling over the fryer bodes well for this stark carry-out-only location attached to a Mobil station. Best gas station food in Chicago.
1361 N. Milwaukee Ave., Wicker Park
This high-traffic entry gets plenty of homespun details right, including the framed poster of Harold, and adds some oddball touches like a magazine rack. As for the chicken, it has a clean, fresh-tasting exterior craggier than a Martian landscape. But the kitchen gets docked for serving the fries separately instead of letting them soak in the sauce as God intended. Blasphemy.
3418 W. 183rd St., Hazel Crest
Standard Harold’s: the founder’s portrait on the wall, the bulletproof glass, the hulking Pepsi machine. The chicken parts are uniformly small, but well prepared — and the people are south-suburban friendly.
337 Howard St., Evanston
A block from the Howard L stop, No. 5’s pristine mirrored storefront looks like a Kubrick film set. A surreal wall-length mural involving hot air balloons and a barn, as well as signs for “Mystic Juice” — a Kool-Aid-like drink of unclear provenance — add to the drama. At $6.06 with tax for half a chicken and fries, it’s the cheapest Harold’s in the area, and one of the most consistent.
