Honest Food Since 1975

Kennedy Fried Chicken has been making scratch-cooked halal chicken in Madison since 1975. No shortcuts then, no shortcuts now.

Compact, no-frills, spotlessly clean — exactly what a scratch kitchen should be. The owner is behind the counter every day, and every order goes straight from the fryer to your hands.

Open seven days a week, 11 to 9 — because this neighborhood counts on it. Regulars walk in without a menu. First-timers leave converted.
