Pop Chicken

We only discovered Pop Chicken after getting boba nearby. As we walked past the shop, we took a peak at the menu posted outside and noticed they offered WHOLE FRIED CHICKEN. What!? No way. We were so intrigued we decided to walk in and give this place a try.6 Pc Wings, Soy Garlic Sauce ($7.29) - The wings come with a nice and crispy breading, covered with a somewhat sweet soy garlic sauce. The crisp is more akin to an American-style chicken wing rather than Korean-style. It's missing that more robust crunch from double fried potato starch. For some reason, some parts of the breading (really only a small portion) tastes a bit like older oil. Both the breading and sauce on the wings are applied a bit unevenly. It might be a plus for people who like light breading and crispy skin with rendered chicken fat. The sauce is thick so it doesn't soak into the breading that quickly, and I found a couple pleasing chunks of diced garlic in the sauce. The chicken meat is moist and easy to eat. It's a solid wing. (4/5)Each order comes with a free dipping sauce. We chose ranch, which came in a pre-packaged container. We didn't use it given how flavorful everything was already.Spicy Crispy Whole Chicken ($12.99) - The chicken takes around 20-25 minutes to come out since they have to prep and fry the whole thing. It's a pretty small chicken, maybe like a larger cornish game hen. If you order this and a side, it's enough for two people. The chicken comes out piping hot and you can easily burn your fingers and mouth if you're not careful. The construction is pretty interesting - instead of spatchcocking, they instead take out the breastbone to flatten the chicken and then cut the breast meat into strips before brining, breading, and frying. The chicken is nicely seasoned in both the breading and the meat. It's salty, savory, and has a bit of a spice that builds just a tad as you eat more. The natural chicken flavor still comes out. At first, I thought this would be a gimmick and there was no way for the chicken to come out evenly cooked - but somehow it works. The breading is crisp with no oily or greasy areas, the skin is rendered out well, and the interior, both white and dark meat are tender and moist. (5/5)The orders are packaged in reusable plastic shopping bags - a very nice touch.I honestly wasn't expecting much when I stopped in to order, driven solely by my interest in whole fried chicken. It turned out to be a great choice and I would definitely recommend to check Pop Chicken out.Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women.Overall rating of the food this visit: 4.5/5

Great fast food area in Dequindre Rd beside 12 mile Rd. Service is great. Last time l went to buy a chicken, they run out of spicy, the only reason l only gave 4 stars.

Lots of chicken places. This one is average and just blends in.The service was great. The ambience was great. With the giant chicken statue in the middle of the restaurant when you walk in. The food itself was disappointing. Chicken wings are tiny. It's like their baby chicken wings. So there is a reason why they are cheaper than other chicken places. Because you're not getting the same amount of food.The food also gave us explosive diarrhea. if you want to eat fried chicken and lose weight, this is the thing for you.

We had pop chicken last night for the first time.. I have to say I loved everything about it... right down to the packaging... the food was delicious, we ordered the house rice, shrimp and wings. It came in a really cute reusable bag. And even the young lady behind the counter was adorable. I will definitely be returning.

Sooo good, loved the chicken the sesame balls were wack tho but everything else was excellent

We happened by the location on Dequindre in Warren and went in to order. The staff was very friendly. This location was clean, which I appreciated. I thought this was the MOST DELICIOUS chicken I had eaten in a long time. It outshines KFC and Church's as the flavor is throughout the chicken not just in the breading. I almost inhaled the food because it was soooooo good. The lemonade is top top notch, not just lemon water. We will visit again. Thanks.

Best chicken! The whole chicken, both bbq and fried was so good! And the service was great. The place was so clean as well. Definitely coming back!
