Description: Founded in Illinois in 1952, Chicken Delight grew during the 1960s into a massive chain with over 1,000 locations. The advertising jingle "don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight" emphasized their free delivery services and convenient take-out dinners and was widely used in radio and TV ads. By the late '60s, emerging chains were taking market share from Chicken Delight at an accelerated pace. This is largely attributed to the fact that while competing chains ensured that all franchise locations met their standards for a uniform experience, Chicken Delight outlets lacked this oversight, and customers were quick to notice. By the late '70s, Chicken Delight ceased to exist in America, but continued to thrive under new ownership in Canada.

Description: Chicken Delight is a chain of restaurants offering eat-in, take-out, and delivery service with a menu featuring chicken, pizza, and ribs. Based in Winnipeg, the chain mostly has outlets in that city and throughout Manitoba. Although as of 2019, six Chicken Delight restaurants are located in the New York metro area,[1] none of these are included in the corporate web site list of franchise locations.
