Since 1952, we've been crafting bold, flavorful fried chicken that brings families and communities together — one crispy bite at a time.
It all began in 1952 in San Antonio, Texas, when George W. Church Sr. opened a small fried chicken stand across the street from the Alamo. With a secret spice blend, fresh never-frozen chicken, and an unwavering commitment to quality, that humble stand grew into one of the world's most beloved chicken restaurant chains.
Today, Church's Chicken serves millions of guests across hundreds of locations, but our soul remains the same: real food, real flavors, and real Southern hospitality in every single bite.
We hand-batter and bread our chicken fresh every day using our signature spice recipe passed down through generations.
From local sponsorships to hiring locally, we believe in giving back to the communities that make us who we are.
We partner with trusted suppliers to source the highest quality ingredients — because great chicken starts with what goes in it.
To serve bold, flavorful Southern-inspired food that brings joy to every table — made with fresh ingredients, served with genuine hospitality, and delivered with pride. We exist to feed not just hunger, but community, tradition, and the spirit of togetherness.
These principles guide everything we do — from the kitchen to the counter and beyond.
We never cut corners. Every piece of chicken is prepared with the same care and craft as the very first day we opened our doors in San Antonio.
We treat every guest like family. From a warm greeting to a perfectly packed order, Southern hospitality is in our DNA.
We invest in the neighborhoods we serve — through hiring locally, partnering with schools, and supporting charitable initiatives that matter.
We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint through responsible sourcing, waste reduction, and eco-conscious operations.
From a single stand in San Antonio to a global brand — here's how we got here.
