12+ Alternatives For KFC In Beirut

Since we dropped our lists of 15+ local clothing brands that are alternatives for Zara, 35+ local coffee shops that are better than Starbucks, 25+ local burger joints that are better than McDonald’s, and even 4 local frozen yoghurt spots for anyone missing Pinkberry, and you all loved them, we’re keeping the local support going!

This time we’re tackling fried chicken, and luckily we have tonnes of local alternatives for KFC. Here are 12+ spots that serve up a killer fried chicken game in Lebanon:

1. Buck-it, Sodeco

All good things come in the form of fried chicken, and Buck-it takes that very seriously. From their Just Chick strips to their Ranchero burger to their wraps, their delectable crispy chicken always hits the spot.

2. Firebird, Mar Mikhael

Firebird’s menu is simple, but packs a punch! You can choose between their two options: a tenders tray or a burger tray (fried chicken tenders or a fried chicken burger, bread, spiced fries, pickles, coleslaw, and Cheetos-flavored mac ‘n cheese). Think of it as an upgraded KFC!

3. Crispy w Fahita, Ghobeiry

As the name suggests, Crispy w Fahita specializes in perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection crispy chicken. Drizzle their massive offerings in sauce, and don’t miss out on their sandwiches.

4. Chicken Way, Msharafieh, Bechara el Khoury, Centro Mall, City Centre

This spot is the ultimate KFC dupe, down to the packaging. You might even find Chicken Way’s platters to be crispier and more flavorful! Dig in and enjoy.

5. Miniguette, Salim Salam, Centro Mall, Mkalles, Jal El Dib

The fried chicken at Miniguette is some of the most reliable you can have on this list, fried to perfection and exceptionally satisfying. The best part is that they offer Party Packs, so you get to share their delectable meals with your friends.

Crispy platters, broasted chicken, crispy tacos, tortillas, AND crispy burgers to satisfy all your cravings at Crispy and Shakes!

7. Xpress, Badaro, Corniche el Mazraa
