How We Keep It Real (and Halal)

How We Keep It Real (and Halal)

Every order at Byrd’s is cooked using halal practices:
- Chicken is sourced from halal-certified suppliers.
- We are conscious of our oil, utensils, and prep areas to promote purity and compliance.
- Staff are trained in handling procedures so that your meal is both flavorful and faithful.

When you order a Hot Chicken Sandwich, crispy Tenders, our loaded Byrd’s Fries, or Sliders, you’re getting bold heat, unbeatable crunch—and 100% halal satisfaction.

Our Halal Commitment

Our Halal Commitment

We believe everyone deserves access to food that respects their dietary and cultural values—without compromising on flavor. Byrd’s is built on that foundation: crispy, spicy, unforgettable hot chicken that’s halal.

We’re proud to be a go-to halal restaurant in neighborhoods across Chicago and nationally. Whether you’re fueling up after class near DePaul in Lincoln Park, grabbing a late-night bite in West Loop, or picking up dinner for the family in Jefferson Park—Byrd’s is bringing the real-deal halal hot chicken you crave.

What Halal Means at Byrd’s Hot Chicken

At Byrd’s, halal is more than just a menu label. “Halal” is an Arabic word that means “permissible,” referring to food prepared according to Islamic dietary guidelines. For meat, this means it must come from a healthy animal, be processed humanely, and be free of contaminants or forbidden ingredients.

We proudly serve halal chicken at every Byrd’s Hot Chicken location
