Every Pinoy’s favorite weekend family treat is now something huge, delighting diners worldwide specially that the country’s very own Jollibee Chickenjoy is at third place in Foodbeast’s Top 10 List of Best Fast Food Fried Chicken Joints in the US. Described as the fast food chain that will take over the States because of its “bomb” fried chicken, Jollibee has once again put the Philippines on the map when it comes to comfort food.
On July 7, the Food Beast officially revealed which ten fast food joints have the best fried chicken. Jollibee Chickenjoy stands out as the third best because it is “gravy packed with flavors of onion and celery that is absolutely ethereal.” Its savory gravy is what “no other food chain on the list can replicate.” The Philippine food chain has definitely grown ever since it first opened in the US in 1988 at Daly City, California. Today, there about 1,000 Jollibee branches worldwide.

Constancy Spyrou of the Food Beast specifically states that “Jollibee is the Filipino fast food chain that is gonna take over the United States because of their BOMB fried chicken.” This is the reason why Jollibee Chickenjoy deserves its high spot.
