In this episode titled "Chicken Trifecta," Fieri travels across the United States to explore three different diners, drive-ins, or dives that serve up unique and delicious chicken dishes.

Fieri is blown away by the flavor and texture of the crispy chicken and the burst of flavor from the fresh toppings. Beto's Comida Latina is known for its authentic Latin American cuisine, and Fieri notes that the chicken tacos are a standout on the menu.

Next, Fieri heads to Chicago, Illinois to visit Honey Butter Fried Chicken, a restaurant that specializes in, you guessed it, fried chicken. But Honey Butter Fried Chicken puts a unique spin on the classic dish - they serve it with a side of honey butter for dipping. Fieri tries the chicken sandwich, which is topped with spicy pickles and honey butter, and declares it a winner. He describes the chicken as juicy and tender, and the honey butter as the perfect complement to the savory flavors of the chicken. Honey Butter Fried Chicken has gained a cult following in Chicago and beyond for their inventive take on fried chicken, and Fieri confirms that they live up to the hype.

The final stop on Fieri's chicken trifecta is in La Jolla, California, at The Promiscuous Fork. The restaurant has a playful and irreverent vibe, and the menu is packed with hearty and indulgent dishes. Fieri is eager to try their take on chicken and waffles, and he is not disappointed. The waffles are made with cornmeal and cheddar cheese, and topped with fried chicken tenders and maple syrup. Fieri raves about the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, and notes that the cornmeal waffles add a unique texture to the dish. The Promiscuous Fork's chicken and waffles may not be traditional, but Fieri declares them a must-try for anyone who loves comfort food.
