The Yelp rating does live up to hype. Prices are very reasonable. All entrees are less than $14. Limited menu but they do it well. Stall are super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. Fried chicken fingers are super moist and skin super crispy. That's hard to pull off and get right. Be careful about the spice... It's really spicy if you are not used to it. Recommend medium and add more spice to your liking. Mexican street corn pretty good.. no complaints here. Chicken katsu is made not in traditional Hawaiian BBQ sense but works. Highly recommend
With the ever groing chicken tender spots, kickin chicken has a spot in the Denver food scene. What makes them stand out are the fresh ingredients and being the only Asian inspired with a Mexican twist joint out there (correct me if I'm wrong). There are many hot chickens, but those flavors get tiring and honestly it's more one dimensional in taste. The chicken Katsu isn't your traditional Hawaiian/Japanese but it's close. They put their own twist on it and it delivered. I personally still prefer the Hawaiian style chicken Katsu but this is very good. I wish the Mac salad was creamier as it was pretty dry that night. The elote was good, but nothing to rave about. The fried rice complimented the chicken well. White rice would also go well to help with the saltiness of the chicken. The tenders are good and juicy. It has a light breading which is great since it emphasizes the meat of the chicken well. They priced their meals perfectly and its cheaper than many places which makes it a hit. I wish I can give it a 5 but it's closer to a 4.25. Kickin chicken will be in my rotation for post shift meals since it's conveniently placed across the street!
I have seen Kickin Chicken when they were a mini food truck collaborating with a boba shop but never got the chance to try it. When I was visiting the hospital, I passed by and saw the location so I had to stop by (I didn't even know they had a physical location). Holy cow, I'm so sad I didn't try it earlier. The chicken tenders are so good along with the jalapeño bubble waffle (sadly didn't take a picture of it). Everything was very flavorful and I like that I can adjust the heat level so it was mild and good for my digestion. I need to come back and try the coleslaw. I also ordered the churros and they were so tasty. A nice dessert treat. I did take mines to go and I had to make a detour so my food was quite soft. So if you're planning to not eat it right away, throw it in the air fryer to reheat it. Overall, space is quite large and lots of natural light. There's plenty of seating. Cannot wait to come back!
The staff was super friendly and the food came out so fast! I really enjoyed the Thai iced coffee and could stop in here just for that. The spicy chicken sandwich was really good. I got a side of jalapeno honey mustard that also paired well with it. The elite was ok, but I'd tryba different side next time. The art on the walls was really fun also, especially the large wall. I didn't scan the QR codes near the canvas items, but I assume those were for sale and a few caught my eye. Parking was easy and it's all right by the children's hospital.
I was in the Denver area recently and saw the good reviews for Kickin chicken so we decided to stop in. The building was very clean. Everyone we interacted with was very nice. And I really liked all of the Kickin chicken decor. For an entrée, I decided to go with the chicken sandwich. I liked that it was on Texas toast and the bread held up really well. The crispy chicken thigh was so tender and juicy. And I'm normally not a fan of slaw, but I liked the slaw on the sandwich. The sandwich was also really big and it even comes with a side. For a side, I got the Elotes. They were OK. They definitely give you a hefty portion. But I didn't get an elote feeling from it. I wish there was some more sauce. I did try a french fry and they were OK. In the future, I would try the fried rice as a side because someone dining nearby ordered that and it looked phenomenal. I ordered a Thai iced tea to drink, and it was sweet and refreshing and a great accompaniment to my meal. And for dessert, I had to get some churro bites. Those were fantastic. I had to take some with me because I was so full from my meal. I will definitely stop by again if I'm in that area in the future and I highly recommend that you stop in and have a delicious meal.
Food: got the chicken & waffles (8/10), chicken katsu (7/10), side of the elotes (6/10), and Thai tea (9/10) -- their signature kickin sauce is good too! Service: friendly and quick service Price: was so surprised at the amount of food we each got for the price ~$14 each meal Ambiance: casual, spacious, clean, played top mainstreamed music Would def come back!
Someone recommended me to try Kickin Chicken, and I'm sure glad they did! The people at the front counter were really nice, and the mini art museum inside was impeccable. I decided on the chicken and waffles with spicy chicken, and fried rice as a side. I do wish they offered more than just the 2 tenders, the jalapeño cheddar bubble waffle was a little too soft, and the fried rice could've had a bit more moisture it was kinda dry (this is me being picky though because the rice was very flavorful.) The chicken had a sweet spicy sauce that came with it that was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I will definitely be back!
Stumbled upon this new Kickin Chicken restaurant when I had to exit 225 during a rainstorm. I popped in for a snack, and I absolutely can't wait to be back! Simple menu, but many options for sauce and spiciness level. I got an order of chicken tenders, the kickin sauce (a house sauce- VERY much recommend) and the honey mustard. Juicy, crunchy tenders fried to perfection. The elote Mexican street corn was also yummy. Can't wait to try their other side dishes.
Staff was super friendly and checked in with us multiple times. The chicken tenders were huge portions and the kickin sauce was incredible!
*They are located near the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. This is a must for lunch or dinner. The staff gets a 5 for being over the top with their friendly customer service -The food gets 5. The why- The burgers & fries are crazy good! We will be back. I want to try the curry fries next time.
This place was delicious. We tried quite a number of things on the menu and nothing was disappointing. I love the feel of the restaurant. It was large open space and very clean. The customer service was on point. We were there probably in the last 30 minutes of them being open and they still made us feel welcome and not like we were bothering them. The chicken was delicious and so was the Elote and so is the fried rice is absolutely no complaints. Everything was great. We also got the bread pudding, which is slightly unmemorable to me so I would have to try it again. The next time I go because I didn't take a picture. Can't wait to try again.
The restaurant options keep growing by the UCHealth Anschutz campus and Kickin Chicken is a great option for fried comfort food. The service was outstanding, the food tasty and flavor for fast casual. Only complaint is it's a little pricey for lunch ($36 for two entrees with sides and a soda). We got the chicken sandwich and the Katsu chicken options The portions were generous and we definitely had leftovers. The macaroni salad was a great (included) side with the katsu chicken. The chicken sandwich was delicious and just too much food, for lunch. Love the Texas toast "bun." Kickin Chicken was clean and quiet with plenty of space. Again, the service was outstanding, the staff was friendly and very considerate. We will put this in our rotation for meal options when our days are spent at the Anshutz campus. Giving five stars for the good food, service and clean atmosphere.

Tried this place on a Saturday afternoon after reading some reviews on here about the establishment. Not packed at all and the staff was very helpful when we started our order. The food is cooked right there on the spot and not sitting under warming lamps so I can appreciate that. We got wings, tenders and fries and boy were they delish! The chicken has a nice kick to it but you can also order them hot and hotter I think. I got the medium and they were just right for me. We will be repeating this place in the very near future. I recommend to anyone in Denver that this place has the best wings I've had since I moved to CO in 2022. Enjoy! read more

New place that just open it was on my saved list. Close to work decided to give it a try. I got the chicken tenders and a side of mac salad. Came with 2 sauces and i got thai tea. The chicken delish. Hot, fresh and juicy. The tender was well seasoned. Didn't even need dipping sauce. I got mild for the heat level. I for some reason got my hopes up on the mac salad. It was ok. Definitely will go back to try other sides. The service was great took my order food made fresh. read more

Best chicken tenders I've had in a while! They somehow found a way to make the outside perfectly crunchy while keeping the meat inside soft and juicy. The breaded spice levels are great and the side sauces pair so well! I definitely recommend their house kickin sauce. Quick service and tons of open seating. read more

Skip the hospital food and have your visitors stop by here first. If you've been to their location in Lakewood, you know that you're gonna get great food. They have a small menu, but everything that they make is tasty and comes in filling portions. We got three items prior to an appointment at Children's Hospital nearby. Their sandwich was juicy and my side of mac salad was creamy and refeshing. My wife got the Katsu and it was delicious as well. We also got tenders for my son's nurse. Staff was quick and attentive. Definitely gonna make this a regular place for when my son is in the hospital. read more

This was very delicious chicken. I had the chicken tenders with the medium spice. The chicken was tender and juicy, with a delightfully crispy breading. The medium dry rub was the perfect level of heat and spiciness. The house Kickin Sauce was a nice compliment and the sweet chili sauce was better than expected. We also got the Katsu that comes with Mac Salad and Fried Rice. They use a garlic soy sauce that really brought a lot of flavor to the party. The Mac Salad was well balanced and worked with the overall meal. And the staff was delightful to boot. This location has only be open for 3 months as of this review (June 2025) but they got the rhythm down pat. Would come again when in town. read more
