This Is the Culver’s Menu Item Illinois Fans Want Back the Most

Culver's has been a favorite of Illinois and Wisconsin for over 40 years, but like every fast food restaurant, the menu has changed over time.

That doesn't mean that the changes haven't been well received, but it's hard to say when Culver's has expanded so rapidly in recent years, showing that whatever moves they are making seem to work fine.

The one at the top is the most popular, and I have to say, I've been wondering, too, if the fried chicken is ever coming back to Culver's.

Why Culver’s Fried Chicken May Be Gone for Good

Mashed notes that the fried chicken has been gone from Culver's for a decade, but "customers can't seem to stop talking about it."

A Reddit comment explains why the fried chicken is gone and probably never coming back.

Yeah, sure, its amazing chicken (especially the chicken breasts, sooo juicy!), but its also a pain to make (15 min cook time plus 5 minutes to bread and bring it to the fryer), created a decent amount of waste (though a lot of that went into chicken salad and chicken soups), locked up a whole fryer vat during its cook time (meaning overall serve times dropped because less fryers to cook with), and raw chicken is a bit of a health hazard.

Could Fried Chicken Return to Culver’s Someday?

If that is true, it's too bad. Maybe there's another way to make it and get it done without the fried chicken being such a hassle?
