At D & U Chicken, we fire up the fryer every morning so you get golden, crispy, juicy chicken the way it should be — hot from the kitchen and straight to your table.
D & U Chicken started with a straightforward idea — serve Wilmington the kind of fried chicken that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your meal. No shortcuts. No frozen shortcuts. Just fresh chicken, seasoned right, fried to order, and served with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel at home.
Located right here on Nixon Street, we've become a neighborhood staple for families, workers, and anyone who knows the difference between good fried chicken and just… fried chicken. Every piece is breaded by hand, cooked in small batches, and kept hot until it's on your tray.
Every order starts with fresh chicken — never frozen, never rushed.
A welcoming spot for families, friends, and anyone who appreciates a good meal.
We fry in small batches so every piece comes out perfectly crispy and hot.
You don't have to take our word for it — just ask the folks who eat here regularly. D & U Chicken has built a reputation in Wilmington not by chasing trends, but by doing one thing really well: making fried chicken that people come back for.
