Local Rockford Chicken Joint Deliciously Shades Raising Cane’s

This burn has to hurt worse than a spicy seasoning in a paper cut.

Then again, it could just be Raising Cane's. It has been getting all the love these past few weeks and months, and the local joint is just reminding us they also do chicken.

Cane’s Is Coming, and Disco Chicken Noticed

With over 500 likes and 100 shares, the caption reads, "Because we care."

“Because We Care”...and Seasoning

The photo features a big bag, or a "nickle bag" as Disco Chicken puts it, of seasoning, mentioning:

In anticipation of Raising Cane's opening in Rockford, we at Disco Chicken are here for you in your time of need...and seasoning.

Nickle Bags of disco seasoning will be available starting at 11 a.m. April 15th limit per Caniac.

Ouch!

Comments Got Real Real Fast

Comments range from "this is a power move" to "no lies detected," but some expressed concerns, like one person saying they hope Disco Chicken is "not on the shady stuff."

The comment that got the most significant reaction was, "Bet Canes will last longer in Rockford than you'll, lmao."

Who’s Got the Better Chicken? Rockford Might Decide

Could this be the beginning of a great chicken battle in Rockford? When two restaurants like this compete, the customers usually win.

So bring it on.

Disco Chicken is at 212 East State Street while Raising Cane's is at 6445 East State Street.

Have you tried both? Who makes the best Rockford chicken?
