Jollibee Chickenjoy Cited in the Best Fried Chicken Bucket List of USA’s Eat This, Not That

MANILA, Philippines. 28 October 2025 – The Jollibee Group celebrates another milestone recognition, as Jollibee’s iconic Chickenjoy fried chicken has once again proven its global appeal. Jollibee was recently included on Eat This, Not That’s “Restaurant Chains with the Best Fried Chicken Buckets” list, further solidifying Chickenjoy’s reputation as the Best Fried Chicken in the U.S.

Eat This, Not That, a leading American food and lifestyle website known for its expert-driven dining recommendations, evaluated and ranked popular restaurant chains across the U.S. for the quality of their fried chicken buckets. Jollibee emerged at the top of the list, recognized for its crispy, juicy, and best-tasting fried chicken that resonates with all types of diners.

One Reddit user captured the excitement around the announcement, emphasizing that while the chicken already stands out on its own for its flavor and quality, pairing it with rice and gravy makes the experience even more satisfying.

“This recognition shows us that Jollibee’s taste truly transcends cultures and borders,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global President and CEO of the Jollibee Group. “We are proud to see Jollibee Chickenjoy celebrated in one of the most competitive food markets in the world.
