How to Get Free Birthday Chicken

Most chicken spots run a rewards app or email club with a birthday perk baked in. Add your birthday when you sign up and the reward loads automatically. Sign up 1 to 4 weeks ahead so it arrives in time.

What to Look For

Chicken birthday rewards usually come as one of these:

• A free sandwich or tenders with any purchase.
• Bonus points or a reward credit to put toward a meal.
• A free side, drink, or dessert to round out the order.

For wings specifically, see our dedicated free birthday wings & chicken guide, which lists the wing chains with birthday deals.

• Free birthday fast food for burgers and combos.
• A free birthday drink or coffee.
