Alaska has some seriously good restaurants, so it’s no surprise that the fried chicken you can find is out of this world. And the very best fried chicken in Alaska will be found at Lucky Wishbone, a hole-in-the-wall in downtown Anchorage that you need to visit. Embrace that chicken craving and add on a milkshake, too!
Are you on the hunt for the best fried chicken in Alaska?
You need to head straight to Anchorage, where you’ll find Lucky Wishbone, the experts in fried chicken since November 20th, 1955. This little hole-in-the-wall is an institution in Alaska!
For over 65 years this restaurant has pulled in customers from all over the state.
The fried chicken is made from a recipe handed down from their grandmother’s Sunday dinner fried chicken recipe. It’s so good you’ll find yourself going back again and again.
In fact, Senator Ted Stevens told President Bush that Peggy Brown, co-owner of Lucky Wishbone, made some of the best fried chicken in the country when she won Alaska's Small Business of the Year award in 2002! We can think of no praise higher than that.
The menu is just packed full of comfort food, perfect for a cold winter’s night. And don’t forget: they have over a dozen dipping sauces, perfect for pairing with your order of fried chicken!
They’re open seven days a week. Mondays through Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. through 11:00 p.m., and Sundays 11:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m.
