Bentley Award Winning Fried Chicken

Light Crunch.Big Soul.

Authentic Bentley Bowl fried chicken

Our chicken is never hidden beneath heavy breading. A lighter coating allows Bentley Bowl's signature seasoning, butcher fresh-cut chicken, and crisp, golden texture to shine in every bite. Crispy outside. Juicy inside. Built for the bowl. That's California Soul Food.
