Refried chips that smells and taste just like bad oil.

The worst French fries I have ever seen in my life, you can't even give this to an animal. How do you not get fries right??? And how do you think serving a paid customer this atrocity is ok???? I wish I opened this box of abomination before I got home. Looked like they had refried this rubbish over and over again and then served it. This is soooo wrong, I am utterly disgusted by this place and would never visit. I should have seen all the red flags, the kitchen was visible and it was obviously dirty, one of the workers wore a shirt filled with grime, you could tell that shirt hadn't been washed in weeks. This place needs to be inspected for food handling, health and safety !!!!!!

This location has been around calgary for a long time! Quick service and fresh! I find kfc greasy, so I prefer my fried chicken here. Support local!

Fried chicken that's delicious, it's in a small hole in the wall kinda good but they have the goods. If you want a sinfully delicious treat check it out.

Terrible. Chicken drumsticks are a measly 3" long. Those aren't chicken drumsticks...maybe from a Cornish Hen but not a chicken. What a joke. Won't return and encourage all to avoid this location. There are better options available for fried chicken where you get what you pay for.

Chicken On The Way's colour-changing chicken!

My friend totally got me hooked on Chicken On The Way. I'm not actually a huge fan of their chicken; I think the flavour is just okay, but nothing special. Other people must really like it though, because there is a huge lineup every time I come here. What keeps me stopping by here every time I visit Calgary is their corn fritters. These are so delicious. They are deep fried and have just a hint of sweetness. They taste great by themselves, but even better dipped in their delicious gravy. They are really cheap too. I think last time we got nine of them, and I know it cost under five bucks. This is not healthy at all, but as a treat, it's more than satisfying. Last time I was here, I noticed a giant chicken statue outside. I think it's rather new, because I am not sure how I could have missed that before. Anyways, the next day it snowed, and when we drove by, the chicken was bright pink!! It changes colour with temperature. How cool is that?

I was in the Kensington neighbourhood and came by based on the several raving reviews. I ordered the snack pack which comes with 2 pieces of fried chicken, a side (I chose fries) and a corn critter. This could by far be the worst fried chicken I've ever tasted. Even the fries and corn fritter were bad. Everything was greasy and soggy with strong reused oil taste. Not sure if it's a one off but I'm sure I won't be coming back.

Yeah, food from Chicken on the Way is not great, but it's cheap and it's good for soaking up excess beer in your stomach.

The perfect place to grab a snack to share for a trip to Riley park. Don't forget corn fritters and honey! Reminds me of being a kid again!
