Chicken lovers get hyped, because this Sunday, July 6, is National Fried Chicken Day. To celebrate this “holiday” (we use that term loosely), lots of chain restaurants are running great deals on fried chicken items. So if you want to get your hands on some cheap — or free! — chicken this holiday weekend, plan to nab one of these fried chicken deals.
Burger King has one of the best Fried Chicken Day deals, especially since almost everyone has a BK nearby. On July 6, you can get a free Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich when you make a purchase of $1 or more. You have to be a member of the chain’s rewards program, but it’s a great deal if you buy a small fries and get the sandwich for free.
Popeyes, one of the best fried chicken chains, has two fried chicken deals you can take advantage of this weekend. First, you can get three pieces of chicken for $5. Second, rewards program members can get buy-one-get-one free six-piece spicy bone-in wings. That deal is good through July 22, in case you miss National Fried Chicken Day.
You can get a free two-piece leg and thigh from Church’s on July 6 with any purchase. You’ll have to be a member of the chain’s rewards program, but you can get the deal by ordering online, in the mobile app, or in-store. Since there’s no minimum purchase amount to get it, order something cheap like a drink or biscuit and enjoy your free chicken.
On National Fried Chicken Day, members of Jack in the Box’s rewards program can get a free Cluck Chicken sandwich. All you have to do is make a minimum purchase of $5 online or through the mobile app to get it.
Yep, Shake Shack has fried chicken — in sandwich form. On Sunday, you can get a free Chicken Shack with any purchase of $10 or more. Order through the mobile app, online, or at an in-store kiosk and use the code CHICKENSUNDAY at checkout to get it.
Bonchon, a Korean style fried chicken chain, has a money off deal all weekend from July 4-6. You can get $5 off a purchase of $15 or more when you use promo code GET5OFF when ordering online or in the mobile app.
Krispy Krunchy Chicken is a chain that sets up shop in a lot of gas stations and convenience stores. On Sunday, you can get a Your Choice Meal Deal for $6. It comes with potato wedges and your choice of chicken: Cajun chicken sandwich, three-piece chicken, three-piece tenders, or six-piece nuggets.
Pollo Campero is a fried chicken chain with a Latin American twist. On July 6, you can get a free fried chicken leg or thigh with any purchase online, in-app, or in-store. You need to be a rewards member to get it, since it’ll appear as a reward in your account, or you can just mention the deal when ordering in-store.
Jollibee is a Filipino chicken chain that’s gaining popularity in the U.S., especially on the West Coast. From July 4-10, rewards program members will get two free pieces of fried chicken with every 10-piece bucket order.
Though it’s not a restaurant chain, Kroger grocery stores are getting in on the fried chicken deals action too. Now through July 8, you can get the store’s fresh 8-piece fried chicken for only $6. You’ll have to scan your loyalty program card at checkout to get the discounted price.
