Chicken Delight Franchise

Quick-service restaurant offering fried chicken and pizza

When Al Tunick bought some deep fryers from a company that was going out of business, he didn't quite know what to do with them. With the help of some friends, Tunick began experimenting, trying to cook different foods in the fryers. The entrepreneur found his answer in chicken, and in 1952, Chicken Delight was born.

The company quickly expanded throughout the United States and first moved into Canada in 1958. Under the direction of Otto Koch, Chicken Delight of Canada prospered, and eventually purchased the entire company.

Chicken Delight features a menu of fried chicken, pizza and ribs for dine-in, delivery and takeout.
