After almost a decade of experience under another franchise, the owners launched the Chicken Express name in March 1988 in Benbrook, TX, and in October 1988 in Mineral Wells, TX the home base for Chicken Express. Based in Mineral Wells, the family-owned Chicken Express expanded its name and product originally by being one of the very first fast-food chicken-delivery businesses, hence our slogan: Our Chicken Cant Fly, So We Deliver. The delivery business was very successful in spreading the word and product, so until 1994, all new franchises utilized the dine-in, drive-thru, or delivery concept. Now with expanded store locations, the major customer base is a drive-thru, dine-in, carhop (at select locations), and especially catering for any occasion or tailgating event.

All our fresh (not frozen) chicken products are precisely marinated, dipped in a secret batter mix, and cooked to perfection, giving our customers that hot and juicy flavoring so unique to Texas-based Chicken Express!

Dine-in or drive-thru at a location near you now, youll be happy you did!
