"You Can Always Come Home."

~-Queen Mother

Come home to the culture, the food and the love.

​

Our commitment to you. We promise to use chicken that is rich in nutrients and free of: antibiotics, drugs, genetic modification, pesticides, growth hormones, artificial preservatives, flavorings and colors.

​

No additives, ever. We use chickens that dine on organic feed made of corn and soy that is grown in the United States. This diet—plus low-stress and humane living conditions—keep our chickens healthy without the need for additives.

​

Better-tasting chicken. Higher standards produce top-quality, better-tasting fried chicken. Our chicken is processed using a method that sears in the natural juices, tenderizes the meat, and eliminates the need for chilled chlorinated water that most restaurants use. 

​

All-natural ingredients. We use 13 ingredients including salt, brown sugar, water, real seasoning, flour, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion, rice, chickpea, canola oil and duck fat. 

​

We lead by example. We set the bar high. We don't compromise on taste, so why should you? 

ABOUT

Our Story

A Tribute to Queen Mother

In August of 2020, Chef Rahman “Rock” Harper opened Queen Mother’s Fried Chicken as a loving tribute to his mom Carole Harper, affectionately known to most as “Mother." 

 

Experience the Queen Mother's difference. Nobody fries chicken like we fry chicken and nobody cooks like Queen Mother cooks.

I'm not sure where else to post this, but please get this chicken sandwich. This is by far one of the better chicken sandwiches in northern VA/DC area. It was crispy, seasoned well, and boy was the portion huge and satisfying. By far the juiciest chicken sandwich I've had in the area in a long time!
