(KRON) — With the number of fast food options across the country, there are plenty that serve fried chicken. Although it might not be as common of a fast food dish as burgers, there are still plenty of major chains that serve one of America’s beloved comfort foods.
On Wednesday, USA Today 10Best compiled a top 10 list of the best fried chicken spots from fast food chains in the United States.
Jollibee, a popular Filipino chain with locations all over the Bay Area, notched the top spot among all U.S. chains that serve fried chicken, according to USA Today. It was voted the number one fried chicken spot by USA Today editors.
“A huge thank you to all our fans! USA Today @10Best has named our Chickenjoy the best fast food fried chicken thanks to you!” Jollibee wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

Jollibee opened its first U.S. restaurant in Daly City in 1998. The fast food chain was founded in 1978 in the Philippines and has since opened more than 1,400 locations worldwide.
