I love whenever I find ready made food that I can just pop in the microwave or oven for dinner on those nights when I don’t really feel like cooking.
Today I’m going to share with you guys something I found when buying groceries via Instacart.
I bought the Kroger fried chicken to eat for dinner and today I’m going to dive into whether it’s worth the buy.
I tried Kroger fried chicken – review | Food
So on Instacart the Kroger fried chicken is listed as the Home Chef Fried Chicken.
It cost $7.99 for 8 pieces. It was a mixture of drumsticks, whole wings, and thighs. I received 2 thighs, 2 wings, and 4 drumsticks.
How I warmed up the Kroger Fried Chicken
My Instacart order was delivered to me around 2:30pm and I put the chicken in the fridge until around 6 pm. I heated it up in the oven on 385 degrees for about 13 minutes.
You do have the option of warming it up in the microwave, but I preferred to heat up via the oven because I figured it’d taste fresher and like it just came out of the fryer.
The chicken smelled really good as it was cooking. I know my kitchen smelled a bit like fried chicken, but it wasn’t overpowering or anything.
The taste of Kroger Fried Chicken
The chicken tasted decent.
I will say I like the smaller pieces of fried chicken versus the bigger pieces.
I feel like the smaller pieces were a bit more flavorful whereas in the bigger pieces… the white meat had a lighter flavor of the seasoning that was used.
I absolutely loved the skin. It tasted so good. It honestly wasn’t crispy though. It actually was kind of soft to tear off of the white meat of the chicken, but I didn’t mind it.
I ate the fried chicken with a Dole Chopped Kit in Buffalo Ranch. It was pretty much a salad kit with buffalo ranch dressing as well as cucumbers and tomatoes.
The fried chicken definitely complimented the salad.

Do I recommend Kroger fried chicken?
The fried chicken from Kroger is a good buy especially if you’re in the mood for fried chicken, but you don’t feel like making it yourself or spending a lot of money.
It’s affordable and convenient. Whether you want to head to Kroger yourself or get it delivered via Instacart it’s a great option.

Did you find my Kroger fried chicken review helpful?
Feel free to share it on social media! I’d greatly appreciate it.
YUM! Fried chicken is so good – it is nice that there is an affordable option!
I’m a big fan of fried chicken and this stuff looks good, it’s nice that you got a mixture of different pieces as well x
I haven’t had the fried chicken from Kroger yet, but we used to get the fried chicken from the Walmart deli all the time. I actually have to run to Kroger tomorrow for a few things, so I think I’ll grab some of the chicken for lunch while I’m there. And I always heat things in either the oven or air fryer over the microwave. Especially chicken, it gets so spongy.
This looks out of this world!!! I loooooove fried chicken so much!!! I can’t wait to try this, can’t wait.
ok I feel hungry late at night! The chicken looks very appetizing and I would have totally given it a try
Hey, we are the same! I am also a busy person so I always get fast food usually since I do not really have more time to cook. I just do reheat. I can only cook during my rest days. That Kroger fried chicken looks so good.
I love those fried chickens! Kroger is one of my favorites.
This looks yummy, I can see the skin looks tasty. Would love to try this fried chicken.
I love friend chicken as the Kroger fried chicken dish looks really delish! Like you, I often like the smaller pieces to larger ones as they also tend to be more crunchy
I’m always looking for quick and easy fried chicken for my youngest, who loves it. And Kroger Fried Chicken looks absolutely perfect for him. We’ll have to give it a try when we see it in the supermarket. Thank you for letting us know about it 🙂

That chicken looks pretty delicious and I will for sure try it the next time I visit the store 😉 Thank you for sharing!
I’ve never been to a Kroger. I know we don’t have one near me, but it is fun to check out different places when we travel. I’ll have to keep this in mind.
Wow! This looks delicious and the price is very reasonable. Just like you, I also prefer to heat up the chicken via the oven instead of the microwave. Thank you for sharing your honest review. Appreciate the Instacart code too.
Looks yum yum yummy. Now i want a bucket load of fried chicken! Huhuhu
Sounds like some pretty decent chicken!
Thanks for sharing with us your Kroger fried chicken review. Their chicken looks crunchy and delicious! I would like to pair it with an Asian sweet and sour sauce. for a dip.
I haven’t tried it and based on your review, I’ll definitely check it out. I am sometimes too busy to cook dinner, but this will definitely make it easier. Thanks for sharing!
The chicken looks crispy and delicious. Is it available worldwide like kfc and hungry lion?.
I enjoy eating fried chicken. I haven’t tried Kroger’s, though…but I will when I have a chance.
Sounds good. However, since I’m taking good care of where my meat is coming from, I don’t really trust fast food restaurants and fry my chicken at home 😉
Ooh this looks so good, A perfect Friday night snacky tea.
That sounds really good. I like easy to make meals at least once or twice a week. On the days I don’t want to think.
