How It All Began
Harold’s Chicken Shack has been serving up fresh, crispy chicken since 1950. It all started in Chicago when Harold Pierce turned his childhood dream into reality. His love for chicken and a drive to serve his community led him to open his first restaurant on 47th and Greenwood. From that single location, Harold’s Chicken grew into a beloved name, known for quality, tradition, and that signature sauce.
Bringing Harold’s Chicken to Addison & Schaumburg
For years, Harold’s Chicken has been a go-to spot for great fried chicken. That’s why we brought Harold’s Chicken #41 to two locations—Schaumburg and Addison—to serve up the same classic flavors with fresh, made-to-order meals. Schaumburg has been serving the community for 10 years, offering a dine-in experience where customers can enjoy their food fresh off the counter. Our Addison location, open for two years, is all about convenience with quick pickup and delivery options.
What Makes Us Different
At Harold’s Chicken #41, we keep it simple and delicious. We offer counter service, so every meal is cooked fresh when you order. Our famous wings, six-piece strips, and the Meal Deal—15 wings with fries for just $30—are favorites for a reason. And it’s not just chicken—our shrimp and catfish are just as fresh and flavorful, giving you more to love. The secret? It’s all in the way we cook. We never rush the process, ensuring every bite is just right.
More Than Just a Meal
Harold’s Chicken isn’t just about the food—it’s about the experience. Whether you’re picking up dinner in Addison or dining in at our Schaumburg location, you’re part of a tradition that’s been bringing people together for decades. We believe in serving great food while staying true to the flavors that made Harold’s famous. It’s this commitment to quality and community that keeps customers coming back.
