🍽️ The more fried chicken, the merrier. Our recent visit to Kak Squad earned the chicken joint a spot on our favorites list. The fast food joint serves up a fresh, crispy variety of fried chicken in all the gloriously messy ways you could want.
What’s different on the menu? Kak Squad’s menu switches things up with Asian-adjacent flavors — Thai chilli, smokehouse, honey, teriyaki — alongside a mac and cheese sauce, all complemented by a lineup of the familiar favorites. Their sandwich and wrap lineup is not too overwhelming, offering a mix of at least eight unique and classic mash-ups.
The real standouts, though, are their dip and sauced meals — your choice of 2-9 fried chicken pieces, either pre-sauced or with dips on the side. Not to mention, their popular mozzarella dippers, which, if you’re ordering in, come with microwave heating instructions for the perfect stretch.
What we liked: Ordering in, we opted for their bestselling sour and buffalo sandwich, the smokey wrap, and tried our hands at the sauced meal — honey and teriyaki. The chicken delivered on all fronts — perfect crisp and tenderness, well-balanced, binge-worthy flavor, and generous sizes we seriously couldn’t get enough of.
The sauces struck a perfect balance of bold and light flavors, complementing the sandwiches’ minimal, unfussy ingredients. Our sauced meal, however, came with the sauces on the side (likely a takeout-driven choice), but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Another standout was the bread — both the burger buns and the brioche side were fresh with a subtle sweetness.
The verdict: Kak Squad easily tops our list for go-to fried chicken done well. The restaurant manages to deliver chicken meals that feel light (if fried food can ever really be “light”) yet satisfyingly filling, with a freshness and crispness that’s hard to come by. Craving the comfort meal? Kak Squad is an easy 10/10 pick.
WHERE TO FIND IT- Kak Squad has branches in New Cairo, Madinaty, Sheikh Zayed, Alexandria, and the North Coast. You can order through their website, via Talabat, or by calling the delivery number in their Instagram bio.
