There are currently two other Golden Chicks in Grand Prairie. One at 900 S Carrier Pkwy and the second at 5010 S State Hwy 360.

The very first location was opened by Howard and Jacque Walker in San Marcos in 1967. The original menu included just fried chicken and “English” biscuits – starting at 49¢ for two large pieces of chicken and a biscuit! Talk about a deal.

Originally named Golden Fried Chicken, the brand introduced its new name and mascot – Clucky the Chicken – in 1993. Since then, the Texas-born and -bred brand has become something of a legend within the Lone Star State and beyond.

The family-oriented, quick-service restaurant has experienced incredible growth with over 200 locations throughout Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. Golden Chick has even gone global, opening its first overseas location in Amman, Jordan, in 2011.

Signature menu items include Golden Fried Chicken, Golden Roast Chicken, Big & Golden Chicken Sandwiches and Original Golden Tenders. For guests looking for a little healthier meal, catfish and salad options are also available. Sides include battered French fries, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn on the cob, fried okra, dirty rice, mac and cheese, cole slaw, potato salad and fruit salad.

The restaurant’s gourmet chicken salad and famous yeast rolls are not to be forgotten. Oh! And its Homemade Lotta Zing sauce.

And even though its been around for more than awhile, Golden Chick knows how to keep its dedicated fan base satisfied and expectant by rolling out limited time deals such as its buffalo, Korean BBQ and garlic parm boneless wings; a 3 tender combo for $6; Cholula chicken; and hand dipped corny dogs.

The brand has been ranked the #4 chicken franchise by Entrepreneur, included in Nation’s Restaurant News’ Top 200 Restaurants in 2019 and was ranked in the top 200 of Restaurant Businesses’ Top 500 Chains for 2020.

Phew! Fly on, Clucky. Fly on.
