A beloved Dallas fried chicken spot is spreading its wings to Collin County. Mike’s Chicken, a local favorite known for its crispy tenders, hearty sides and homegrown charm, is opening a new location in Plano.
Founded in 2014, Mike’s Chicken built a loyal fan base with two popular Dallas locations, one on Maple Avenue in Oak Lawn and another near Forest Lane. Now, the family-owned restaurant is expanding beyond Dallas city limits for the first time, with a third location currently under construction in Plano at the corner of Renner Road and State Highway 190.
The new spot is expected to span 2,500 square feet, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Currently, the new location does not have a set opening date, but will be located at 3355 E President George Bush Hwy, Plano.
What’s on the Menu?
Mike’s Chicken is best known for its no-frills, flavor-packed menu. Diners can expect crispy chicken tenders, wings, sandwiches and build-your-own bowls, alongside comforting sides like mashed potatoes, fries, creamed corn and mac and cheese.
The restaurant has made a name for itself by blending simplicity with quality, with chicken that’s marinated in-house and fried fresh to order.
National Recognition
Mike’s Chicken isn’t just a local legend; it recently earned a spot on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S. in 2025. The accolade cemented its reputation as one of Dallas’ must-try eateries, with plans to serve even more fans in Plano.
As the countdown to its Collin County debut continues, fried chicken lovers across North Texas are getting ready to welcome one of Dallas’ favorite spots to the neighborhood.
