Hell yes to the corn fritters. Ordered a snack pack and a 3 piece fritters. Ate all the fritters in one go...haha and got too full to eat the rest of my meal. DELICIOUS. Ate the chicken a little later, and it was still juicy and awesome. Love the gravy at this location too...! I'll need to try the fritters with honey next time! For under $10, was a lot of food for lunch and snack.
Love that this location has been around for so long and not replaced by some dumb high-rise or something else the city does not need. Their chicken is OK, could definitely use some seasoning. Their gravy and fries are tasty and their corn fritters are delicious! Nice and sweet with a crispy skin on the outside. Priced very well and the staff are cheerful.
This location has been around since 1958, and it still serves excellent old school fried chicken Don't forget the corn fritters... This is my place to indulge in deep fried goodness!
This is the one and only joint in Calgary whose chicken doesn't give my boyfriend Norman diarrhea! I think the key is the seasoning- It really is a delicate dance of salty perfection in the ballroom that is my mouth, and my goodness the batter is wonderful! Most places fry the chicken too much, and always over salt, which I think is what upsets Norman's very sensitive digestive tract.
Well it's been a while. The chicken was less salty from why I remember which is great. Friendly service and nice portions ($10 for 4 pieces, fries and corn fritters). Wish they'd get some other sauces going on for the chicken!

The food at chicken on the way Kensington is delicious! The chicken itself is moist and meaty, the fritters are delicious and even though the fries more closely resemble traditional English chips, they too are amazing. I frequently crave it but barely ever give in and when I do I almost always go to the newer forest lawn location! The reason why? The people are the Kensington location are incompetent and down right rude! I asked if the recipes and materials were the same at all the locations, response "I don't know" no elaboration other then to grumble something about being new. I ordered a hungry man with all white meat and NO wings. I repeated the no wings part a number of times as my husband and son were all sharing this (yes the portions are that big) and none of us like wings! I of course knew this would cost extra but don't mind as it would feed 3 people with left overs! I get home and open the box and it is 2 breasts and 3 wings! I tried to call and complain but the only response I got was "well we didn't charge you extra so that's what You got and if you want to come back we can charge u for the extra for the breasts and exchange them for you" I declined this because it's rude, especially when he asked the cashier he admitted to ringing it in wrong and not giving me what I asked for! I will more likely be making the further trek to the forest lawn location as customer service is actually important to me!
You get what you pay for right? It quick and cheap, but nothing overly special the food is good but not great. I eat there maybe once every couple of years but it always brings back childhood memories because I lived only a couple blocks away when I was young and my parents are there lots.
Whenever I'm in Calgary this is my first stop. I should probably feel shame for admitting that out loud but the chicken and corn fritters are just really good. I hate fried chicken, it grosses me out, but this stuff is crispy and on a different level. Pricing is good too, about $9-10 for a big meal.

The essential 1960s Calgary experience. If you want to know what it was like to be part of a blue-collar family in Calgary in a time before the 1980s, Chicken on the Way will deliver. It's an institution. Dad had it once a week growing up when his father worked for the CPR; we had it on very rare occasions that he could talk my mom into eating fried chicken and corn fritters. Try it at least once. Probably the best fried chicken in Calgary.
Very good. Fresh and tasty always!!
