CHICKEN EXPRESS

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