Everyone loves a traditional chicken dinner, but Grizzly’s Wood-Fired Grill (4890 Golf Road, Eau Claire) ups the ante with scrumptious wood-roasted chicken that can be added to tacos, pasta, sandwiches, salads, and more. Bresina’s Carryout (10 Jefferson Ave., Chippewa Falls) is a small-town chicken joint located across the street from the Leinenkugel Brewing Co. that offers a feel-good menu sure to pair well with a brewery tour. While it’s Western-themed décor makes it a family favorite, voters agree that the fried chicken at Pizza Ranch (2451 Truax Blvd., Eau Claire) makes this spot a Chippewa Valley must. -Alyssa Anderson
