Large Quantity of Fried Chicken on XMAS Day

Looking for a good source for fresh, fried chicken to be purchased and picked up on Christmas day, for about 40 people. Preferably in the Oak Park/RF/FP/Elmwood Park area, but I realized this could be a stretch. I was thinking various Chinese restaurant but not sure if they deal is this quantity.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Happy Holidays &.....go Bears?

Jeff,

Have you called Chicken Inn? I'm not sure if they are open on Christmas day (give 'em a call), but they certainly could fill the bill as far as providing the mass quantities of fried chicken you are looking for and aren't too terribly far outside of your boundaries.

Chicken Inn
7536 North Milwaukee Avenue
Chicago, IL 60631
(773) 763-3962

I doubt Pollo Campero is open Christmas Day, but it fits the geography so I'll throw it out there.

BINGO! Not only is the CHICKEN INN open xmas day, they deliver too! My Mom is very happy. Her original idea was to get Popeyes on xmas eve and reheat on xmas day for a crown of 45 people. Naturally, I was appalled at this option. This will go well with her Pasta Fresh rigatoni & eggplant parm.

SteveZ, you're my hero....
