Cookie's Country Chicken

Cookie's Country Chicken was born from the Louisiana oil fields, where founder Brian Chandler spent years cooking fried chicken for large maritime crews before bringing those flavors to Seattle. What started as a pandemic-era pop-up has grown into one of the city's most celebrated fried chicken spots, with the chicken tenders drawing lines at both Pioneer Square and Ballard locations. The tenders are hand-breaded, generously sized, and available in multiple spice levels with a lineup of house-made sauces that set them apart from every competitor.
