(SPOT.ph) It's almost a confirmation of what proud Filipinos already know, and IYKYK—American newspaper USA TODAY certainly seems to, at any rate.
For the second consecutive year, Jollibee Chickenjoy has topped the 10 Best Reader's Choice Awards list for Fast-Food Fried Chicken, following a wave of international recognition for the Jollibee Group of brands in general. This particular platform ranks the top travel and lifestyle recommendations across the United States, based on curation from a panel of select food critics as well as public voting.
This marks yet another milestone for our iconic party order, having also previously been named the Best Fast-Food Fried Chicken by Eater.com in 2022 and Best Chain Fried Chicken in America by Thrillist in 2021.

Chickenjoy Gains Critical and Public Acclaim Internationally
"We are truly honored and grateful that Jollibee's Chickenjoy was voted [... the best-tasting] fried chicken by USA TODAY readers," says Ernesto Tanmantiong, Jollibee Group Global President and CEO. "We've always believed that [the delicious taste] appeals to everyone across borders, and this recognition [...] is a joyful testament to that. It is also a tribute to our hardworking teams—especially those in our stores—who bring this joy to life each day through great food and heartfelt service."
It's also an affirmation of why we who loved it first keep Chickenjoy a top-selling item; crispy and golden on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and paired with a punchy yet smooth gravy, it's a comfort classic that's hard to beat.
Currently, the Jollibee chain has over 70 branches in the United States and is looking to breach the 100-mark in overall North America soon.
