Our Beginning
Chick N’ Friends was founded by the Lloyd Family and is led by Rhodney and Cassandra Lloyd, alongsid Jarrod and Kemberly, and Rhodney’s parents, Joe and Juanita. Proudly ranked #35 on the “Best Fried Chicken Restaurants in America” list, our mission is simple: serve exceptional home-style cooking made with top-quality ingredients, blending tradition with modern technology for consistency, while expanding the menu with specialty seafood alongside our signature pressure-fried chicken.
Our Ingredients
Our original recipe features a proprietary blend of premium raw ingredients, mixed with precision to deliver perfect texture, taste, and flavor every day. Our dedication to high-quality coatings for both chicken and fish sets us apart. By pairing superior breading with advanced pressure-frying technology, including CollectraMatic fryers with built-in gravity oil filtration, we keep our canola oil fresh and consistent. The result? A signature taste, crisp bite, and unmatched quality.
