Mike’s Chicken, the Dallas fried-chicken favorite known for its crispy tenders and house sauces, is gearing up to land in Frisco. The family-run spot plans to build out an existing roughly 3,000-square-foot tenant space along Dallas Parkway, with construction expected to start in January and wrap up in April. If that schedule sticks, the Frisco restaurant will join two Dallas locations and another Mike’s Chicken that is slated to open soon in Plano.
As first reported by Community Impact, a company representative confirmed the Frisco plans, and the outlet noted menu details with an opening status listed as TBD. That report is the first local piece to publicly flag the new project.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists the Frisco build-out as a tenant interior remodel of 2,960 square feet with an estimated construction cost of $350,000 and a completion target of April 30. The filing calls for new millwork, a vent hood and patio renovations, and shows the project status as registered, which indicates permitting and finish-out work are in motion, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The locations page for Mike’s Chicken lists two operating Dallas shops and marks a Plano address as “Coming Soon.” Online, the menu leans into tenders, wings, white- and dark-meat plates, plus familiar sides like baked beans and coleslaw. Regulars also zero in on the house sauces, including white cream gravy, Mike’s Buffalo and honey mustard, which are frequently requested. For the latest word on hours and openings, the company points customers to its locations page.
From a laundromat to a local favorite
The business started inside a Maple Avenue laundromat and slowly built a following before expanding. The Dallas Morning News documented the move to a second neighborhood outpost, and outlets such as CultureMap and the Dallas Observer have repeatedly name-checked Mike’s Chicken in dining roundups. That steady drumbeat of praise and recurring appearances in local “best of” lists helped set the stage for a push into the suburbs as demand grew…
