SF Chickenbox's Fried Chicken Sandwiches Are a Love Letter to San Francisco

SF Chickenbox’s chef and owner, Christian Ciscle, named his business after two things he vehemently loves, the “Sucka Free City” of San Francisco and the uncomplicated deliciousness of perfectly crisp fried chicken. 

With a clear vision for an easy-to-love menu, Christian started SF Chickenbox in 2019 and has since navigated the challenges of a changing San Francisco landscape. In 2023, SF Chickenbox joined the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, where Christian continues to share his love of all things fried chicken and build relationships with Bay Area neighbors.
