Jollibee named No. 1 best fast food fried chicken in the US for third straight year

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Alexa Mae Asperin, FOX 11 Los Angeles (KTTV) · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Jollibee has been voted the No. 1 Best Fast Food Fried Chicken in America for the third consecutive year in USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

The fact that Jollibee has topped the list of best fast food fried chicken in the US for three years running speaks to the significant presence of Filipino cuisine in the Los Angeles food scene. As a city with a large Filipino population, Los Angeles has long been a hub for Jollibee, with multiple locations throughout the area. This award is a testament to the enduring popularity of the chain among locals, who have come to expect high-quality fried chicken from Jollibee. The recognition also reflects the diversity of culinary options available in Los Angeles, where a wide range of international cuisines are well-represented. As the city's food scene continues to evolve, it will be worth watching to see how other local eateries respond to Jollibee's success, and whether other Filipino restaurants can replicate its winning formula.
