1) Yardbird Southern Table & Bar

Located in the Venetian, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar brings the best of Southern cooking to Nevada. Come for brunch, lunch, or supper and taste the raved about fried chicken, complete with sides like grits, okra, or mac & cheese. Get your fried chicken in various forms at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, from wings to the Nashville Hot Yardbird chicken sandwich.

Or go for the big plate of 1/2 a chicken deep fried and served with honey hot sauce (Lewellyn’s Fine Fried Chicken). Yardbird also has awesome nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks that include hand-pressed juices like a Turmeric Tonic with turmeric, lemon, ginger, and black pepper.

 

2) Hash House A Go Go

A fun take on farm-fresh dining, Hash House A Go Go is located in The Linq Hotel. Open Sunday – Thursday from 8 am – 3 pm, and Friday & Saturday from 8 am – 10 pm. Come for brunch or a late dinner. Find the fried chicken on the brunch menu under Farm Favorites. Andy’s Sage Fried Chicken & Eggs will have you singing with syrup, two eggs, bacon, sliced tomatoes, mashed potatoes, and fresh fruit.

Make it Nashville hot for a modest additional dollar. If you want to really live, opt for the Indiana Chicken and Waffles, once featured in the New York Times. You can also find the fried chicken in sandwich form.

 

3) Big Chicken

The name says it all with Big Chicken, which specializes in chicken sandwiches. Owned by no other than the lovable former basketball star Shaquille O’Neil, Big Chicken puts a twist on favorite classics. Try sandwiches like Shaq Attack, with pepper jack cheese, jalapeno slaw, and chipotle BBQ sauce.

Or check out the Charles Barkley, with mac & cheese, crispy onion, and roast garlic BBQ aioli, all pilled high upon fried chicken in a brioche bun. Try the sliders or go to town with sides like Lucille’s Mac and Cheese or Dirty Fries, which are french fries topped with cheese, bacon, banana peppers, and BBQ ranch.

Additionally, Shaq wouldn’t leave us without dessert and has curated a sweet-tooth’s dream with a list of unique ice cream sandwiches such as Grandma’s bread pudding, rocky road, and chocolate chip.

 

4) Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken

Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken, located within the Grand Bazaar, is brought to you by the Bromberg brothers, who have added a matzo coating to this Southern classic. The trademark of Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken is the tangy, approachable flavor of the crunchy outside that balances out the meat.

Currently open for take out, Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken’s menu features a monthly sandwich, such as the current Chicken Gobbler, topped with mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, and gravy. If you simply want The Classic, order just that. Pick your favorite pieces of chicken, with combinations that include 2-piece white or a 4-piece mix of a breast, wing, thigh, and drumstick. Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken also serves up boozy milkshakes, cocktails, and wine and beer.

 

5) Mochiko Chicken

Mochiko chicken is a favorite Hawaiian dish where small pieces of chicken are marinated in a sweet and salty sauce, then fried up. So it makes perfect sense to head to Mochiko Chicken to take your fried chicken palate to new horizons. Try the Crispy Fried Chicken Bowl, which gives you a base of white rice, mochiko, and a whopping twelve sauce options.

Try the staple mochiko chicken sauce or mix it up with spicy mochiko, coconut curry, Polynesian, and the list goes on. Or do the Crispy Fried Chicken A La Carte, and mix and match with other a la carte options.

Mochiko Chicken is a little unassuming in a strip mall, however, some of the best-kept food secrets happen to be in such locales as this. Currently available for pick-up and delivery, only enjoy Mochiko Chicken in the comfort of your own home.

 

6) Flippin’ Good Chicken, Burgers, and Beer

A little take on honkey tonk in Vegas, Flippin’ Good Chicken, Burgers, and Beer is just what it sounds. A fast-casual joint, Flippin’ Good has a spicy chicken sandwich that tastes great with a cold brew. All of the chicken of Flippin’ Good is raised cage-free and hormone-free, so you can feel good about your eating choice.

Make it Nashville Hot, try the vegan chicken tenders, or do the Dirty Bird piled high with American cheese, bacon, and a fried egg. Add a side of fresh-cut onion rings, Nashville fried pickles, hand-cut french fries, or coleslaw to make it a meal. If you still have space after, satisfy your sweet tooth with a signature shake or malt that includes mouth-watering options like a white chocolate macadamia nut concrete mixer.

 

7) Flock & Fowl

Flock & Fowl is a highly-rated Chinese restaurant that’s “everybody’s favorite rice bar.” Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner, Flock & Fowl serves up beautifully curated Chinese food that includes Hainanese chicken and rice, as well as crispy chicken served in bao.

The presentation at Flock & Fowl is always colorful and done with care, and if you’ve got a fellow diner along who does not eat meat, Flock & Fowl is a great choice for that, too. Do note, Flock & Fowl recently moved to a new location from their previous Sahara Avenue one.

 

8) Carson Kitchen

Carson Kitchen does many things besides fried chicken, however it keeps popping up with the best fried chicken for one reason; crispy chicken skins. You can find the crispy chicken skins on the Social Plates section of the menu, although you may want to keep each bite for yourself.

Served with smoked honey sauce, dip in and enjoy all the goodness of this savory treat to the max. Also available for curbside, Carson Kitchen makes it easy to get your fix. With a quarterly changing menu, check out other culinary feats such as a cocoa-espresso NY strip steak, an incredible list of veggies off the Farm & Garden section of the menu, and flatbreads such as the wild mushroom flatbread with pickled red onion and Gruyere cheese.

 

9) Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & BBQ

Eat, drink, dance at Gilley’s Saloon; what more could you want? Fried chicken, of course, which, thankfully, Gilley’s has. Truly Southern comfort food, garb a plate of fried chicken served with cornbread, hush puppies, and cajun remoulade sauce, along with two sides. This delicious chicken dinner is available for dine-in only.

Gilley’s Saloon also has live entertainment that includes the opportunity for some honky-tonk dancing. The only disclaimer I’d give on the atmosphere at Gilley’s Saloon is that it comes with a country-western theme and “Gilley’s Girls,” who are scantily-clad women who dance and serve up food. It feels a little better than Hooters in the treatment of women, but not much.

 

10) U.S. Fried Chicken Halal

If eating halal is important to you, you can still find your fix at U.S. Fried Chicken Halal, which touts an explosion of flavors in their fried chicken. The extensive menu includes wings, boneless hot wings, chicken nuggets, and fried chicken breast. Open from 10 am – 10 pm every day, U.S. Fried Chicken may not be fancy, but it sure is consistent in its delivery of addictive chicken.

Other options like gyros, a Philly cheesesteak, and salads are also on the menu. U.S. Fried Chicken is currently open for take out and delivery only and makes a great choice if you’re planning on feeding a family or group, with options available to accommodate party-sized groups.

 

Conclusion

There is no shortage of finger-licking fried chicken when you’re in Las Vegas. This hot, delicious treat has several restaurants where you can get your fill, from twists like the Hawaiian mochiko to straight-up classics as served at Gilley’s Saloon. Whatever your fancy, get ready to dig in when you hit Las Vegas’ dining scene with this list of the best fried chicken in Las Vegas!

1) 24-Layer Chocolate Cake at Strip House

It doesn’t get much more beautiful than this when it comes to food to feast your eyes and belly on. A 24 layer—yes, 24 layer—chocolate cake layered with the smoothest chocolate cream stands tall in every slice. The whole thing is iced with a topping of chocolate ganache, sending this masterpiece over the edge. You may or may not want to know that each slice weighs 1.5 pounds of sweet loving. If you’re going to go, go all out. After all, this is Vegas.

 

2) Tiramisu Cheesecake at Giada

Giada’s a gal who knows her desserts, and there are several knock-outs on her menu. We’ve listed the Tiramisu Cheesecake because the presentation and taste are just heavenly. Layers of a rich sponge cake heavily soaked in coffee and Kahlua, topped with chocolate espresso cheesecake, salted caramel cheesecake, and finally, a layer of vanilla mascarpone cheesecake.

Really, it would be too much, except she’s found the perfect balance. However, you can also find humbler choices such as lemon ricotta cookies, which feel like someone’s Italian grandmother made them for you, in the best sense.

 

3) Flower Pot Cake at Jardin

This little beauty may have you doing a double-take to make sure you’re not really digging into a clay pot of petunias. Fleur at Jardin has become a signature dessert at this upscale American restaurant located within The Wynn. Inside of the flower pot-look alike, discover chocolate cake layers, including raspberry jam and a chocolate mousse. Truly a work of art, make sure to Instagram your remarkable dessert before it disappears.

 

4) Banana Cream Pie at Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House

We’d be amiss if Emeril’s New Orleans’ style desserts didn’t make this list, and his banana cream pie tops the list. A staple since the inception of his restaurant, this banana cream pie is rich and thick, with three pounds of bananas in each pie. If one taste of Emeril’s banana cream pie keeps you longing for more after you’ve left Vegas, check out the Food Network’s website to find the recipe and try your hand at it when you get home.

 

5) Churro Fried Ice Cream Pops at Chica

A mash-up of the best of Mexican sweets, Churro Fried Ice Cream Pops is a little bit of everything that comprises its title. Like a fiesta in your mouth, this creative concoction will leave your taste buds in strangely familiar territory. A combination of caramel ice cream, cinnamon churro crumbs, a tiny churro, all topped with vanilla bean cream, it’s a knockout on the sweet scale.

 

6) Flan at Jaleo

Flan is one of those classic desserts that are simple in ingredients yet difficult to execute. The flan at Jaleo pays tribute to Chef José Andrés’ mother’s flan, which was perfectly imperfect according to him. His take on the flan is Spanish-style and has been said to be the best in all of Las Vegas.

This is another recipe you can find online so, again, if you’re feeling bold, try and recreate this beloved treat. Including the flan, Jaleo’s has been said to set the bar for Spanish cooking for the last two decades, something you can’t miss.

 

7) Sticky Toffee Pudding at Gordon Ramsay Steak

Gordon Ramsay Seak is found inside of Paris Las Vegas, with a sticky toffee pudding that is unrivaled. An English dessert comprised of sponge-like cake covered in decadent toffee sauce will leave you feeling full to the brim.

Gordon Ramsay isn’t just in one locale; however, this man’s got four restaurants throughout Las Vegas, all of which serve a variety of sticky toffee pudding. Try it at Gordon Ramsay Burger at Planet Hollywood Resort in a pudding push-pop form or as a pudding shake at The Linq Promenade. We like it best in its true form, but creativity always gets some style points.

 

8) Titanic Sundae at Carmine’s

We promised at least one ice cream treat on this list, and the Titanic Sundae at Carmine’s is the ice cream sundae of sundaes. Starting with a layer of chocolate torte, the sundae gets topped with six hearty scoops of ice cream, then decorated with a healthy dose of hot fudge, cherries, wafer cookies, and whipped cream.

Mind you, if you’re not coming just for the Titanic Sundae, this means you’ve probably already got a belly of pasta in you at this NYC-style Italian joint. So, just sayin’, this is probably a dessert worth sharing with a friend, or maybe the whole family!

 

9) Cheesecake Challenge at Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar

If you know anything about Guy Fieri, then you know he is a little over the top, and this, uh hum, can get reflected in his kitchen. The Cheesecake Challenge is no exception, rather a flamboyant display of his culinary prowess with this half-a-cheesecake covered in pretzels, crunchy potato chips, and chocolate sauce.

Maybe this sounds like a slice of heaven to you, or maybe it sounds like something else. You get to decide. If you can’t stomach the Cheesecake Challenge, look to other desserts on his menu, including the Seven-Layer Dark Chocolate Whiskey Cake or the Strawberry Fool, with layers of strawberry ice cream and sorbet over pound cake.

 

10) Giant Fortune Cookie at Tao Asian Bistro

What’s more fun than ending your meal with a giant fortune cookie that comes complete with an edgy fortune? Maybe we’re just a sucker for a whimsical presentation, although this artistic treat is equally delicious as it is adorable.

Filled with white and chocolate mousse and topped with fresh fruit, this may as well be one of the most Instagram-worthy desserts in all of Vegas. Here’s hoping your giant-sized fortune paves the way for at least a sweet few minutes as you dig into this sugary concoction.

 

11) Big Poppa Tart at Donut Bar

Well, pretty much anything at Donut Bar is going to send your tastebuds sailing in the direction of happiness. However, Big Poppa Tart does seem to epitomize everything Donut Bar is. A whole pop tart is stuffed inside a donut, weighing an entire pound! Colorful and inviting, Big Poppa is best served with a strong cuppa Joe. Other off-the-charts donuts to try include mud pie and a coffee latte.

 

12) Lobster Tails at Carlo’s Bakery

Carlo’s Bakery has been making lobster tails, a pastry shaped like a lobster tail and stuffed with French cream and whipped cream, for over 100 years! Tucked in the Venetian, these beautifully crafted pastries emulate the Italian sfogliatelle pastry.

The sfogliatelle dough is definitely something you couldn’t replicate at home unless you are a baker extraordinaire. It’s one of the most challenging doughs in a baker’s repertoire, meaning you should eat your lobster tail with respect. Also, as any Italian would tell you, it’s best with a strong coffee.

 

13) Sinatra Hat at Sinatra

Because cute does earn some points, as long as it is also delicious, the Sinatra Hat at Sinatra goes on the list. Like the one Frank wore, this adorable little chocolate fedora is filled with mousse and comes served with a milk chocolate pana cotta on the side. Also, excellent choices on the menu; check out the classic cannoli, tiramisu, or Torte di Nocciola (hazelnut torte).

 

14) Pineapple Carpaccio at Hell’s Kitchen

Another Gordon Ramsay creation, the Pineapple Carpaccio at Hell’s Kitchen, is an unusual yet impressive dessert. Be wowed by a foaming cloud of liquid nitrogen that gives way to thinly sliced pineapple served with coconut sorbet, passionfruit, and coriander.

If you’re more of a traditionalist and would rather skip the food show, opt for the Coconut Three Ways, which comprises coconut sorbet, passion fruit caramel, and coconut cake.

 

15) Chocolate Terrarium at Rose. Rabbit. Lie.

This swanky joint delivers on all fronts, including dessert. The Chocolate Terrarium at Rose. Rabbit. Lie. is just so unique; you’ll have yourself equally in awe of the presentation as you are delighting in the dessert.

Appearing as a small glass-enclosed terrarium, lift the exterior to reveal a beautifully landscaped chocolate soil, complete with chocolate pudding and chocolate buttermilk cake. All of this is topped with puffed wild rice, a chocolate tuille, and hazelnut ice cream.
