ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Krispy Krunchy Chicken^®, one of the fastest-growing hot food concepts in the convenience store business, is sharing the love as it flies up the ranks of leading chicken brands.

Krispy Krunchy^® currently operates in all 48 contiguous States with nearly 3,400 locations.

"We are proud to be ranked on the USA TODAY 10BEST for a second year in a row, and even higher than last year," said Alice Crowder, CMO of Krispy Krunchy Chicken. “Fans love our mildly Cajun-spiced chicken that is high-quality, full of flavor, and priced just right. We’re grateful to our amazing operators for continuing to delight their customers with chicken that we believe is the best out there. These rankings show that more and more people feel the same!”

This is the second time that Krispy Krunchy has landed on the USA TODAY 10BEST in as many years. A panel of experts for each category selects nominees for the award. Finalists are then selected via an editorial review by USA TODAY 10BEST editors.
