Mini Hut

Hidden gem! The fried chicken was really good… Will go back soon!

Been there a few times, the chicken is consistently done well. It takes almost 30 minutes so call ahead. There is not a lot of room to dine in but they will deliver to bars in the area. It’s definitely a step up from the chain fried chicken places.

Fantastic chicken and old school no frills ambiance. Highly recommend, just keep your eyes open for it around the corner. I know people that lived in the neighborhood and never knew about it. What a shame. so make the trip is well with it

When something wonderful is being described, some may say, «there are no words». Honey, I can think of more than a few words to describe the best chicken I have ever wrapped my gums around; succulent, juicy, moist, perfection and in a class all by itself. This spot is a sweet dive that has a big menu. The entrance to the restaurant is on the side and can be missed. Don’t keep driving… Go around the block, u won’t regret it. And suburbanites, another special treat, no parallel parking, just pull right in. Back to the bird: lightly and perfectly seasoned. The first bite after waiting 25 mins for made to order bird was beyond delish! We ordered the breaded cauliflower to snack on while we waited and it was also yummy. It was so good my husband thought it was mushrooms because he detests cauliflower. I thought he was gonna cry when he hit the bottom of the empty bag. We noticed a ton of pick ups while we waited for the highly anticipated main dish. The staff was a bunch of guys that were so nice and explained the menu and how to order the chicken. There are family paks, baskets, ala carte… they aim to please! BEST Chicken ever!

This butter crusted chicken is sooo delicious! It is so moist and very well seasoned. I will totally make a return visit.

Addictive chicken, no frills and friendly staff. It’s worth the wait for the chicken — just don’t make the rookie mistake, as I did, and walk in to order. 25 minute wait!

Best fried chicken in the neighborhood! Love this place!

This place has some really good fried chicken. It’s a really small place with personality. And the staff is so friendly.

By far the best chicken on the south side of Chicago. And the rolls go perfect with the chicken

The chicken is good, but the customer service is horrible. They have delivery and depending on the day, they will
Choose to say they don’t deliver to your area. Undependable, do they deliver or not? They need better management to manage this aspect.

I’ve been dying to check this place out for a while now but their hours stink. Who eats dinner before 7pm? Luckily, we happen to plan for an early dinner and I took the advice of other Unilocalers and called ahead. I ordered a dozen piece family dinner, two perch sandwiches and a half pound of cauliflower. They told me the order would take half an hour. Lucky I called. And it was ready not a minute sooner.
I did not realize they were know for their «butter crust» chicken until I saw it on the door. I was kind of excited by the prospect. The chicken was absolutely delicious. Kind of a cross between Browns chicken and Broasted Chickcen but not dry. We did ask for all dark meat though. The one breast we ordered was not dry. But not exactly dripping with juices. White meat is difficult to get right. The perch was just okay. Too much dressing on the sandwich. I could not believe how small a half pound of cauliflower was. My mistake, next time I’ll get the five pounder. The fries were just okay though. A little soggy.

Best fried chicken in Chicagoland in my opinion. Others I like: Del Rhea’s, Honey Butter Chicken. Takes ~ ½ hr for an order to be ready — so call ahead and grab it and go — not the best place to dine in.
Going to MiniHut is The Highlight of trips to my mother-in-law’s house. Fairly unknown — my wife grew up 2 blocks away and had never been there!

First time trying this place on a friends suggestion. Best fried chicken I’ve had. Great crispy skin, lightly floured, super tender juicy chicken & not greasy. And you dont feel horrible after eating it! No high sodium here. Only wish they had better sides to go with their delicious chicken. Order comes with fries & biscuit. Reasonable prices too. Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but they do chicken right!!!

Just when you thought all fast food fried chicken is the same! HOLY CRAP! This chicken does NOT taste like anything you’ve ever had!
Hands down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! There is no point trying to describe it further. Just go there and try it for yourself. Call ahead as it takes 25 mins to prepare the chicken!
I also had the fried cauliflower. Yes, cauliflower. It was amazing!

this place was not easy to find driving from the main street! but after circling a few times. we found it! good service with friendly staff. not gonna lie. the place is pretty crappy and the table we were at was lopsided as hell. haha but! the food was awesome!
ordered the 12 pc. came with slaw, rolls, fries, and of course the chicken. not a fan of their fries. the coleslaw was really good to me for some reason. and the chicken was delicious. right amount of breading. juicy and tender in the inside. what more can you ask for! oh also ordered breaded mushroom and they were decent.

My friend told us about this place and took us here because he heard many great things about this place. Plus, they were also featured on Chicago’s Best for their fried chicken. We came here and from the outside it looked like a run down joint. The inside doesn’t get much better, but we know hole in the wall places always delivers that WOW factor! We ordered the 12 piece Chicken Dinner, which comes with fries, rolls, and coleslaw. We also ordered breaded mushrooms. The fried chicken was pretty damn good overall. It especially goes well with honey spread over it. The service here was great and we will most definitely be back!

We cater their chicken all the time. Their chicken is fabulous, crust and chicken! :)
They have great sandwiches and appetizers, too, and their service is tremendous. The owner is there on the premise often, so you have access to talk to him, if need be.
It’s a really great place. Shop local!

Fried Chicken… Do it.
I don’t know how they do it. I don’t want to know how they do it. They have some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. It’s not even really a «chicken» type place, if you didn’t know, you’d have no idea they have delicious, golden, fried chicken. It comes in a cake box. On top of fries. A cake box… Best. Cake. Ever. Now, the place is a little run down, and definitely needs some updating, but it is definitely worth trying.

I have previously confessed that I am not a huge fan of fried chicken. Do not judge me! I wasn’t raised on it, ok? When I admit this people back off a bit like I’ve just admitted to be one of the Walking Dead.
Well I am a walker no longer because I finally ate Fried chicken that I actually liked, in fact, adored.
This fried chicken was different. It was moist and juicy and the fried part was part of the chicken, not some coating glop that was fried.
It was just delicious! And it came from a hole in the wall. No really, a literal hole in the wall.
I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t eaten it myself.
Don’t be chicken, try it. You’ll like it!

THE BEST fried chicken on earth! Ok so this place is literally a hole in the wall (and it’s easy to miss), but it’s a hidden gem hole in the wall! The chicken is soo juicy and tender (share your recipe Mini Hut!)
A plus for me is that the chicken still tastes delicious as leftovers. We ordered 8 pieces to go for a little under $ 15 and a few hours later they were still pretty darn good!
I am a fried chicken connoisseur people (one of my guilty pleasures). So trust me when I tell you that a trip to Mini Hut is totally worth it if you’re searching for the greatest fried chicken in the Chicagoland area. You won’t regret coming here.
The staff is friendly, too.
