The third North Texas location will open on Feb. 18<\/p>\n
One of Dallas\u2019 most beloved fried chicken joints is about to make some noise up north. Mike\u2019s Chicken \u2014 known for its crispy, no-nonsense tenders and loyal following \u2014 is opening its first Collin County location in Plano on Feb. 18<\/a>.<\/p>\n Founded in 2014, Mike\u2019s Chicken built a loyal fan base with two popular Dallas locations, one on Maple Avenue in Oak Lawn and another near Forest Lane. Now, the restaurant is heading out of Dallas.<\/p>\n The newest restaurant will be located at 3345 E. President George Bush Highway, near the corner of Renner Road and SH 190, and will operate daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n A Big Step Beyond Dallas<\/p>\n The Plano outpost<\/a> marks a milestone for the family-owned brand. While Mike\u2019s Chicken has built a strong reputation in Dallas, this expansion is its first move outside the city limits. A third location is also currently in development.<\/p>\n The growth comes as the restaurant continues to gain national attention. In 2025, it earned a spot on Yelp\u2019s Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S.<\/a>, reinforcing its status as a must-visit spot for comfort food fans.<\/p>\n Simple Menu, Serious Following<\/p>\n Mike\u2019s Chicken has made its name by focusing on straightforward, flavor-first cooking. The menu centers on crispy tenders, wings, sandwiches and customizable bowls, paired with classic sides like mashed potatoes, fries, creamed corn and mac and cheese.<\/p>\n Its approach is intentionally simple: chicken is marinated in-house and fried fresh to order, a formula that has helped turn the once-small local shop into a regional favorite.<\/p>\n With its Plano debut, the restaurant is poised to introduce a whole new wave of North Texas diners to the crispy tenders that built its reputation.<\/p>\n
